Indonesia appeared to have built a commanding advantage after the opening qualification group, with Muhamad Iqbal Raia Prabowo and Sulthanul Aulia Maruf combining for 1,172 points. China\u2019s Bu Shuaihang and Xie Yu managed 1,161, leaving the Chinese team 11 points adrift.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The momentum shifted when Hu Kai took over for China in the second group. He produced a consistent 292 over the first three series, while Indonesia\u2019s Wira Sukmana managed 284, reducing the deficit to just three points.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Hu eventually finished with 582 points. Sukmana mounted a late challenge but needed a 10 with his final shot to secure the gold for Indonesia. He could only manage a nine, finishing on 571.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
China and Indonesia ended level on 1,743 points, but the Chinese shooters prevailed on the countback, registering 70 inner tens to Indonesia\u2019s 57. Japan claimed bronze with 1,730 points.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Hu said he had focused on managing the fluctuations of the competition rather than the scoreboard. \u201cThere were ups and downs during the match, and when things weren\u2019t going well, I just tried to make adjustments,\u201d Hu said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Chinese comeback came on a day when three shooting gold medals were decided. Hu also featured prominently in the men\u2019s 10m air pistol individual final, where Uzbekistan\u2019s Vladimir Svechnikov took the title with 244.3 points. Hu settled for silver, while Bu secured bronze.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
China also topped the podium in the skeet mixed team event, with Jiang Yiting and Lu Jianlin combining for 52 hits. South Korea won silver, while India took bronze.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The victory marked Jiang\u2019s third gold medal of the Games. She had already won the women\u2019s skeet team and individual titles on Wednesday, making her one of the standout performers of China\u2019s shooting campaign.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The shooting events continued to underline China\u2019s depth across both pistol and shotgun disciplines, while Indonesia\u2019s near-miss in the men\u2019s 10m air pistol team event highlighted the fine margins that decided the medals in Nagoya.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
