The story of Xu Haifeng.

Xu Haifeng 1957 was born in Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, and returned to Anhui with his parents at the age of 15. Xu Haifeng, who likes playing with guns since childhood, bought an air gun after graduating from high school, which can also be said to be the beginning of his "shooting" road.

Xu Haifeng, who is fond of shooting, gradually made his mark in Anhui Province on 1979, and won many medals in the competition, breaking many provincial records. This also made the Anhui shooting team throw an olive branch to him. 1982, he was finally transferred to the provincial shooting team and became an athlete, starting a formal shooting career.

Hard work and talent make Xu Haifeng's shooting road smooth. In June1983165438+10, he was transferred to the national team for training for 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games just one year later.

After about three months of training, the team held five trials and two national competitions. In the average ranking, Wang Yifu ranks first with the advantage of 1 ring, while Xu Haifeng ranks second and third, 6.5 rings lower than Xu Haifeng. According to the rules, each country can send two athletes to participate in the Olympic Games. Wang Yifu has confirmed that another quota will be selected from Xu Haifeng and the third runner-up.

At that time, it was suggested that because Xu Haifeng had little experience and short training time, it was more prudent to send the third veteran. After consultation, the team decided to give them another test and go abroad to participate in the competition. Xu Haifeng came to the Olympic warm-up match held in Los Angeles and won the championship, which made him qualified for the Olympic Games. For him, this can be regarded as his first individual world championship title.

Three months later, 27-year-old Xu Haifeng finally set foot on the Olympic Games. As an assistant coach and athlete of the national shooting team, he won the championship in the men's pistol 60-shot slow fire event, which was not only his first Olympic champion, but also the first gold medal of China people in the Olympic history, which opened the door for China athletes to win gold medals in the Olympic Games.

Samaranch rushed to the shooting range. He personally presented the award to him and said excitedly, "Today is a great day in the sports history of China. I feel honored to personally award this gold medal to the athletes in China! "
