Chapter 55 Chapter 55
Seeing the final ranking after the scores were updated, a hint of joy flashed across Jiang Wannan's face.
She put down her rifle, turned around with a smile, raised her hands and bowed to the audience.
The whole audience burst into warm applause.
"Let us congratulate the Chinese shooting team for winning their first gold medal again! Of course, congratulations also go to Bu Wanyi for winning the bronze medal in this round."
"That concludes the commentary for this match. The women's 10-meter air pistol final will begin in an hour. Let's look forward to it."
[Awesome! Chinese shooting is still reliable. From now on, I will only follow shooting competitions!]
Watching the Chinese national football team's World Cup last year really got my blood pressure up. I definitely won't be watching this year.
[Hurry up and go eat, then come back for another round.]
The live broadcast room of "Happy Match" also heard exclamations of joy.
"Jiang Wannan wins!" The host couldn't help but burst into excitement. After recovering, he quickly cleared his throat and regained his composure. "Congratulations to the Chinese shooting team for another gold medal."
She looked across at Xu Qianqian. "Qianqian and Jiang Wannan interacted for a while on the show. Did anything interesting happen between you during training?"
Xu Qianqian withdrew her gaze and pondered for a moment. "It's actually not that bad. Athletes spend most of their time training. During the occasional break, everyone relaxes and entertains themselves, or catches up on sleep."
Suddenly, she thought of something and continued, "But Chu Xi and Jiang Wannan usually play games to relax. They're quite fun when they play games."
The host immediately became interested and continued to ask, "Are Chu Xi and Jiang Wannan both good at playing games? Could it be that one of them is actually a master gamer?"
"Well... I'm not a master, but I'm just okay." Xu Qianqian glanced at the camera next to her, coughed lightly, and didn't dare to continue to elaborate.
[Chu Xi and Jiang Wannan actually play games! What are they playing?]
[Professional athletes like them must have excellent physical and mental abilities, so their gaming skills are probably not bad either.]
[That's not necessarily true. Shooting athletes are required to have a stable mindset and body, which is considered a strong static talent. But when it comes to movement, it's harder to say. Gaming requires more dynamic talents.]
[Impossible! I believe Sister Xi and Sister Nan are invincible all-round players! !]
The popularity of the Shooting World Championships has directly led to a rapid increase in the popularity of the entire live broadcast room.
Not only fans of domestic entertainment are watching, but many netizens from the sports circle and other industries are also attracted to it.
The popularity rose rapidly until the women's 10-meter air pistol final. The moment Chu Xi appeared on the stage, the number of people in each live broadcast room began to double again.
【The air pistol competition has begun!! Looking forward to it!】
Chu Xi was still wearing the red uniform of the Chinese team and entered the venue with other players.
The originally quiet venue suddenly became boiling, and almost half of the Chinese audience stood up waving national flags.
The boiling cheering sound lasted for a few seconds before gradually dying away.
"The women's 10-meter sprint final begins." The referee's voice slowly spread throughout the venue.
Chu Xi lowered his head and closed his eyes, holding the gun in his right hand and placing it on the table.
My breathing slowed down and everything around me became unusually quiet.
A few seconds of adjustment time allowed Chu Xi to quickly enter the shooting state.
She took a deep breath, looked forward, raised her arm to hold the gun, and aimed at the bull's eye.
The sound of gunfire broke the silence of the stadium.
Shooting is not just a sport, it also represents her life and dreams.
Now, she wants to carry this dream and continue to defend this gold medal for the country.
"South Korea's Song Lingmei performed very well in the qualifying rounds and garnered a lot of attention. Now that the first round of shooting is over, she performed very well and is currently leading the rankings."
Xu Yingzhe's eyes fell on the broadcast of the game, and there was a hint of shock in his voice.
Everyone had great confidence in Chu Xi and never thought that Chu Xi would fall behind after the first round of shooting.
But what is even more surprising is that Lee Ye-eun of the South Korean team, who was favored by many people, actually dropped to fifth place.
Lu Meng performed normally and ranked third firmly.
Chu Xi is currently 0.6 rings behind Song Lingmei and ranks second.
The fourth-place contestant was someone no one expected, Meisong Isa from Hassan.
In the qualifying round, Meisong Isa advanced in sixth place.
This result is already Hassan's best result in recent years.
But her performance now is even better.
"Judging from the first round, South Korea's Song Lingmei performed exceptionally well. She scored 10.8 rings in her first two shots, and she didn't make any mistakes in every shot after that. Instead, she continued to perform exceptionally well."
Xu Yingzhe was still calm.
Shooting competitions have always been the most unpredictable.
This thing is not about technology, but about mentality, so everything is still unknown.
"Of course, the two players from the Chinese team also performed very well. Chu Xi and Lu Meng are currently ranked second and third."
"Secondly, fourth place went to Meesong Isa from Hassan. According to information, this is likely her first time representing her country in an international competition. This women's 10-meter air pistol event is truly packed with talent."
Soon, the contestants began the second round of shooting.
Chu Xi and Lu Meng didn't seem to be affected too much. They continued to aim and shoot at their own pace.
Another five consecutive shots ended.
The score on the field changed again.
Meisong Yisha, who was in fourth place, caught up to third place, while Chu Xi also caught up to first place from second place.
Current field ranking:
First place, Chu Xi of the Chinese team
Second place, Song Lingmei of the South Korean team
Third place, Hassan Ketuan Meisong Yisha
Fourth place, Lu Meng from the Chinese team
Lee Ye-eun of the South Korean team, who won the silver medal in the last Olympics, has been squeezed to fifth place.
[Wow, the shooting competition is so exaggerated? The last Olympic champion fell to fifth place?]
[Normal. Other sports compete on technique and experience, but at the top of the shooting spectrum, it's all about mentality.]
I've never heard of this Hassanko player before, and this is actually his first time participating in an international competition.
"Next, it's the elimination stage. The last-placed contestant will be eliminated every two shots. It's a crucial moment. Let's see how each contestant performs in this round."
After the elimination stage, all eight players on the field became more cautious.
Seeing the ranking, Lu Meng frowned.
In the last World Cup, she unfortunately finished fourth.
The number four is like a curse.
Lu Meng steadied his breathing, suppressed his emotions, and slowly regained his composure.
"Song Lingmei took the lead in shooting, scoring 10.6, another excellent ten-ring score. Since the start of the competition, her competition with Chu Xi has been very fierce. But the key now does not lie with them."
"After two shots in this round, the eighth player will be in danger of being eliminated. There's only one shot left. Let's see if there's a miraculous comeback."
The camera turns to the eighth and seventh place contestants.
Both of them were preparing for the final shot.
After a few seconds, the two men finished shooting.
The miracle did not happen, the eighth-place contestant was eliminated, and the competition ended early.
At the same time, other contestants are also competing fiercely.
After two shots, Chu Xi was still in first place, and Song Lingmei was temporarily ranked second.
Lu Meng successfully regained the third place.
"At the moment, the rankings on the field are still changing very frequently. Now we are about to start the next round of two-shot shooting. Let us continue to pay attention to the situation of the game."
In the live broadcast room of "Happy Match".
The host and Xu Qianqian were no longer talking, both of them staring nervously at the live broadcast of the game.
Seeing that this round of shooting was over and Chu Xi returned to first place, the host breathed a sigh of relief.
At the director's signal, she cleared her throat, raised the microphone again, and looked at Xu Qianqian. "The competition is very tense right now. Qianqian, what do you think of the current rankings?"
Xu Qianqian temporarily retracted her gaze and looked at the camera. "I still hope the Chinese team wins. I won't say much else. Let's just continue watching the game."
The host nodded. "That's right. I believe everyone feels the same way. Let's continue to cheer for the Chinese team."
The two of them focused their attention on the live broadcast of the game again.
At this time, the seventh-place contestant has also been eliminated.
The six remaining players on the field are engaged in their latest round of shooting.
Lee Ruien's pressure is obviously increasing.
Lee Ruien took much longer than others to prepare and aim.
She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before continuing to shoot.
All sounds disappeared from my ears.
Lee Ruien's sight was filled with the bull's eye.
After pulling the trigger, a gunshot rang out.
9.4 rings.
"Lee Ye-eun scored a 9.4 in this round. It's clear she might be facing elimination, and she's a little nervous."
"But the sixth-place Indian athlete shot 10.5. With this shot, she surpassed Lee Ye-eun and is now ranked fifth."
"Then the contestant to be eliminated in this round will be Lee Ye-eun from the South Korean team."
Xu Yingzhe's commentary was filled with a hint of surprise.
I guess many people didn't expect that Lee Ruien was eliminated early when she was ranked sixth.
[Oh my god, what happened to Lee Ye Eun? Why did she get eliminated in sixth place?]
[You're nervous, right? The last shot was 9.4. My mentality is really broken.]
Lee Ye-eun is having a tough time this year. First, there was Chu Xi, and she was constantly crushed in the World Cup. Now there's a new dark horse. If I were her, I'd be under a lot of pressure too.
[Song Lingmei's talent is truly terrifying, there's really no comparison.]
The game continues.
Only Song Lingmei from the South Korean team is still competing for the top three spots.
Meisong Isa, who was ranked fourth, also began to get anxious.
In one more round, it will be her turn to be eliminated.
We must regain third place.
Meisong Isa exhaled, her eyes turned cold, and she started shooting.
Of course, Lu Meng couldn't relax either. He held the gun calmly and fired every shot very closely.
After two shots, the fifth-place player was eliminated.
This time, it’s the final showdown between Meisong Isa and Lu Meng.
Lu Meng is currently 0.5 rings ahead and in third place.
As he raised his gun and aimed, Lu Meng clearly felt his heartbeat quicken, as if it was about to burst out of his chest.
After taking two deep breaths, his slightly shaking body finally calmed down.
Lu Meng raised his gun and started firing the first shot.
"Now it's match point for the bronze medal. The final two shots will determine who can hold on to third place."
After saying that, Xu Yingzhe also let out a breath and returned his gaze to the broadcast of the game.
Lu Meng's first shot: 10.4 rings.
Meisong Isha followed closely behind with a score of 10.5.
When it came to the last shot between the two, the audience and netizens in the live broadcast room all held their breath, waiting for the last shot.
"Lu Meng shot a 10.3 on her last shot, while Mei Song Isa scored a 9.8. China's Lu Meng is still ahead in the score, maintaining her third place."
At the same time, Meisong Isha, who was in fourth place, was unfortunately eliminated.
At this point in the game, the audience began to get excited again.
Two of the top three spots went to Chinese teams! So cool!
【This is the strength of the Chinese shooting team! 】
[Friends, don't blink, the most critical moment is coming! ]
Chu Xi is still ranked first.
But Song Lingmei was only 0.1 ring away from her, which was equivalent to no difference. If she made a mistake in any shot, she would be directly reversed.
Song Lingmei raised her gun expressionlessly and began to aim.
Although she is only eighteen years old, the strong heart she showed on the field is completely unimaginable to others.
Song Lingmei took the lead in shooting.
10.7 rings.
"Song Lingmei performed very well again, shooting 10.7 points. She is undoubtedly a formidable opponent for the Chinese shooting team."
"However! Chu Xi also performed well and shot a score of 10.7!"
Lu Meng's shooting score just now was 10.4.
Judging from the current score, it will be difficult for Lu Meng to catch up with Song Lingmei.
After the second shooting, Lu Meng was eliminated with a third place result.
"Congratulations in advance to Lu Meng for winning the bronze medal in the women's 10-meter air pistol event! This is a great improvement for her, and we look forward to her future performances."
Only Chu Xi and Song Lingmei were left on the field.
Although both of them had expressionless faces, they were shooting from across their shooting positions.
But the aura of both of them should not be underestimated.
The power and confidence that comes over you are something that ordinary people cannot possess.
Chu Xi lowered his eyes and calmly installed the last two bullets.
After a few seconds, she adjusted her mindset and raised her gun.
In the broadcast of the game, Chu Xi and Song Lingmei raised their guns and aimed at the same time.
The whole scene was so quiet that people didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
In the audience, Fang Ruinian and Ji Le, who were present throughout the entire event, also held their breath and tightly grasped the national flag in their hands.
"Chu Xi took the lead in shooting, 10.4 rings!" After Xu Yingzhe finished the announcement, he began to stare at Song Lingmei's results.
A second later, Song Lingmei's score popped up: [10.1 rings]
"Beautiful! After this shot, Chu Xi successfully narrowed the score gap to 0.4 rings."
Xu Yingzhe calmed himself down and continued, "Now, there's only one last shot left."
Everyone was nervous, wondering if Chu Xi could hold on to this last shot.
Chu Xi slowly raised his gun, a sharp light flashing in his calm eyes.
Slender fingers squeezed the trigger.
Aim and shoot.
"10.4! Chu Xi shot 10.4. Song Lingmei's last shot scored 10.6. The champion of the women's 10-meter air pistol is Chu Xi!"
Although Song Lingmei performed better in the last shot.
But in terms of the overall score, Chu Xi is still leading.
"After several months since the World Cup, Chu Xi has won another gold medal for the Chinese shooting team!"
