A young Chinese shooter has olympic dream in his crosshairs

"Boring as shooting is, it is truly a sport that can make you feel like family. Love shooting as always," writes Yang on Friday on his personal WeChat page, a Chinese social messaging app.

Even though he is just 21 years old, Yang is already a seasoned shooter, and can even deal with some tricky questions.

"As I can't afford to buy land, I will continue training for the 2020 Games," smiles Yang, joking about the surging real estate prices in China.

Yang repeatedly says that he felt lucky to win, and once joked that he might have to become a farmer after his Rio experience.

"The inclusion of new event does not matter for me. I still need to train a lot in order to win medal," says Yang.

The 10 m air pistol mixed team, the 10m air rifle mixed team and trap mixed team events have been ratified to be included in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on June 9, 2017 under the recommendation of the sport's world governing body ISSF.
