China's Jiang Wins Women's Skeet Gold With Perfect Scores At ISSF World Cup Final
ISSF World Cup Final: China's Olympic bronze medallist Jiang Yiting delivered a perfect 36 hits from 36 targets to win the women's skeet title as the ISSF World Cup Final concluded in Doha on Monday. Jiang, who claimed mixed team bronze at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, led qualification with 123 hits, equalling her own junior world record.
The Asian champion maintained her momentum in the final, shooting first and completing every stage without error before defeating defending champion and world champion Samantha Simonton of the United States in the final duel.
"This medal is very surprising for me, and I am very happy to get the gold because it's only the second ISSF World Cup Final I have been in," said the 21-year-old, who ranked sixth in her World Cup Final debut in 2023. "The new format has been a challenge for me, but during the daily training, we also had specialised training in the new format, so I was confident."
