Yang Haoran |
18-year-old Yang Haoran is at the top of the world ranking of men's 10m air rifle. It's his own stage on the event when he comes to the YOG. Yang's consistency and accuracy are both persuasive in shooting and convincingly won it by an advantage of 5.
Yang has been competing internationally for only two years, but he has already claimed a world championship gold medal, three World Cup gold medals and a World Cup silver on the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) all-ages circuit.
In near-perfect form at the YOG, he delivered the much-anticipated gold medal with a score of 209.3, consistently hit high 10s, marking a perfect 10.9 on the fifth shot and finishing strongly with a 10.7 and 10.5 final series. Among his 20 shoots in final, you can just find single one below 10.
