Judging from the estimated end time, the above two games are 10 minutes apart. Considering the uncertainty of the game, there are some variables in the birthplace of the first gold medal of the Paris Olympic Games, but under normal circumstances it will come from the shooting event, that is, the 10-meter air rifle mixed team .
At that time, four "post-00" athletes Huang Yuting, Han Jiayu, Sheng Lihao, and Du Linshu will combine in pairs to represent the Chinese team in the 10-meter air rifle shooting mixed team competition and launch an attack on the championship.
