　　On July 27th, Beijing time, Chinese players Yang Haoran and Yang Qian defeated the American players in the final and won the gold medal of the 10-meter air rifle mixed team at the Tokyo Olympics in one fell swoop.

From being eliminated from the Rio Olympic qualifiers to "shooting" the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics, he was once known as the "genius boy", and he finally used the "Grand Slam" to "rectify his name."

On July 27, the Chinese combination Yang Qian/Yang Haoran won the gold medal in the 10-meter air rifle mixed team gold medal match at the Tokyo Olympics.

This is the ninth gold medal of the Chinese sports delegation in this Olympic Games. Yang Qian has become the first post-00 Olympic double gold medalist in China's sports arena.

　　Yang Haoran, born in Chengde, Hebei, is a well-known male shooter in China.

Eight years ago, he fought for the first time in the National Games. At the age of 17, he defeated Zhu Qinan and other world shooters on the same stage and became a dark horse.

　　On the day of the competition, it happened to be Master Cai Yalin’s birthday, and winning the championship was the best birthday present he thought could give Master.

　　This shooting "genius boy" has since won gold and silver in domestic and foreign competitions, and has broken the men's 10-meter air rifle record several times, and was praised by the industry as a "phenomenal feat".

At the Rio Olympics 5 years ago, he was regarded as the favorite to win the championship but he did not perform well.

　　"After five years of preparation, he has become more mature." On the 27th, Cai Yalin, director of the shooting and archery management center of the Hebei Provincial Sports Bureau, commented on Yang Haoran.

He once achieved a zero breakthrough in China's 10-meter air rifle at the Sydney Olympics, and even described the changes in his disciples' two Olympic games as "reborn".

　　In Cai Yalin's view, the most difficult thing for Yang Haoran should be everyone's high expectations of him.

I won the championship from the first national competition, and since then I have won the championship in major events such as the World Championships, Youth Olympic Games, Asian Games, National Games, etc., "so the expectations of him are different." At the same time, his own expectations are also very high."

　　On the 25th, Yang Haoran set a new Olympic record for the qualifying event in the men's 10m air rifle qualifying event.

Although he finally regretted picking the copper, he was affirmed by Cai Yalin: "This should be a breakthrough for him as a whole."

　　Cai Yalin revealed that during the call yesterday, Yang Haoran said that during the game he also remembered the regretful scene of the Rio Olympics.

Although he won the bronze medal the day before yesterday, he recognized his preparation for the game, which also guaranteed "today's perfect game."

　　After the Rio Olympics, "Yang Haoran" was renamed "Yang Haoran", or hoped to be a blank sheet of paper to start again.

In an interview later, he was "thanks for the failure."

That unforgettable experience allowed him to grow a lot in his ability and mentality, and he became "more mature".

　　Seeing the championship, Liu Juncai, the provincial team doctor who accompanied Yang Haoran's rehabilitation training, felt a little distressed: in the trials last year, Yang Haoran gave himself more training, and he could not get up because of a back injury.

"This person with a very strong will" has settled through several years, and winning the championship is a "rebirth from the fire."

　　Peng Duobao, the leader of the Shooting and Archery Management Center of the Hebei Provincial Sports Bureau, said that Yang Haoran's participation in competitions requires a good attitude to win.

After winning the Olympic gold medal, he also achieved his personal "Grand Slam".

　　This time, Yang Haoran, who withstood the pressure on the court, did not forget to praise Yang Qian for resisting pressure after the game.

He said that Yang Qian was hitting the second gold medal, and the pressure she undertook during the game may be even greater. She was able to withstand this pressure and played so well, "I admire her very much."

　　Before the game, on both sides of an elevator in the Hebei Provincial Sports Bureau, there were photos of Pang Wei and Yang Haoran "beckoning" after winning the game.

On this day, two shooting athletes from Hebei, China, "meeted" at the Tokyo Olympics and realized their dreams.
