The First Gold medal to China

YI Si Ling (易思玲), being young and sweet, won the first Gold medal to China in Women’s 10 m Air rifle with 502.9 points on July 27. She joined the athletic team in 2008, won in the world champion competition in 2010. Her team mate, YU Dan (喻丹) came third after Sylwia BOGACKA of Poland.

Shooting needs steady hands, a calm mind, slow breathing rhythms, good eye-sight and skill. It is very difficult indeed to shoot at the designated small target within 10 metres. Any shaking hands or disturbances in the mind would have ruined a shot.

Congratulations to these two young girls of China. Hope that they will also get very  good results in the next Olympics.
