In a thrilling finale at the ISSF World Cup in Munich, 20-year-old Sun Yujie overcame early jitters to seize gold in the women's 25-meter pistol event.
Despite entering the final ranked eighth, Sun harnessed mental grit and precision under pressure, firing a near-flawless 38 in the showdown. That score topped her rivals and secured her third gold of the season after victories in Buenos Aires and Lima this April.
Silver went to Oh Ye-jin of South Korea with 36 points, while her teammate Yang Ji-in claimed bronze with 32. Chinese mainland contender Yao Qianxun, who led the qualification round, settled for fifth place in the final.
Spanning multiple continents, the ISSF World Cup series tests shooters in diverse environments. Next up is the rifle and pistol stage in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, from September 7 to 15, promising more drama on the global shooting circuit.
