Athletes and coaches are legends!
1984 the 24-year-old Wang Yifu participated in the Olympic games for the first time on behalf of the national team, almost 34 years ago. But on his first expedition, the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and won the bronze medal in the men's self-selected pistol slow-fire competition with a score of 564 rings. Although he didn't win the gold medal, it was only the beginning for him.
1988 Seoul Olympic Games, at the age of 28, he went out with enough confidence, but he didn't expect to get 15 only with 578 rings. He didn't regret losing the final qualifier. 28-year-old, for most athletes, may have entered the last year of their careers, but Wang Yifu told everyone that this is just the beginning!
At the Barcelona Olympic Games four years later, Lao Wang, who was over 30 years old, won the gold medal in men's 10 meter air pistol with a score of 684.8 rings and the silver medal in 657 rings in self-selected pistol. 1 gold, 1 silver made him reach the peak of his career. 1992, Wang Yifu won the title of "Top Ten" athletes in Asia. 32 may be the age when most shooters retire, but he tells everyone that this is just the beginning!
The most impressive Olympic Games-Atlanta 1996
1996 Olympic Games may be Lao Wang's most impressive Olympic Games. In the men's 10 meter air gun final, Lao Wang's last shot was 3.8 rings ahead of his opponent, but the last shot suddenly turned black, and his eyes suddenly lost sight of the target when he fired. In the end, he lost the chance to win the championship by only 0. 1 ring. A few minutes after the last shot, Lao Wang fainted. Is the 36-year-old Lao Wang really old? You are wrong, this is just the beginning!
In Sydney in 2000 and Athens in 2004, Lao Wang still went out on behalf of the national team and finally won 1 gold and 1 silver. Especially at the age of 44, he won the men's 10 meter air pistol final gold medal with a total score of 690.0 at the Athens Olympic Games, becoming the "oldest" Olympic champion in China, explaining what an old horse is!
Life after retirement-still committed to shooting career, inherited by 27-year-old daughter!
It is worth mentioning that Wang's 27-year-old daughter also inherited her excellent shooting gene. In 2008, he won the silver medal in the Asian shooting championship for middle school students, and made an appearance at the Shenzhen Universiade on 20 1 1, helping China win the team gold medal with a total score of1/87. Now her daughter is also a member of China's national shooting team, maybe in the next Olympic Games.
20 13 1 1, Wang Yifu was appointed as the special inspector of the Supervision Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Lao Wang, who retired in 2004, is still active in the shooting world. Li Du and Pang Wei, famous shooters, are both students, and the last disciple has also become the Olympic champion. The head coach of the shooting venues of China, London Olympic Games and Rio Olympic Games is Lao Wang, who really dedicated his life to the shooters!
