ALMATY, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- China collected eight gold, seven silver and one bronze medals across the 15 Los Angeles 2028 Olympic shooting events at the Asian Championships, highlighted by a clean sweep of all five pistol titles.

Hu Kai, unbeaten this season in men's 10m air pistol at the ISSF World Cups, extended his dominance by securing gold with 241.6 points as the Championships started in Shymkent, Kazakhstan on Aug. 18. On the following day, Ma Qianke, 17, stunned Olympic medalists Yang Ji-in of South Korea and Manu Bhaker of India to claim the women's 10m air pistol title with 243.2 points, before pairing with Zhang Yifan to win the 10m air pistol mixed team event over South Korea 16-12.

China rode on the momentum to add two more golds, with Zhang Yueyue taking the women's 25m pistol crown after an intense shootoff against teammate Xiao Jiaruixuan. Su Lianbofan won his maiden Asian Championships title with 36 hits in the men's 25m rapid fire pistol final.

In the shotgun, Olympic silver medalist Qi Ying only started to miss in his 39th target, won the men's trap with an eventual result of 47 hits, Olympic bronze medalist Jiang Yiting equaled her own world junior record of 57 hits to clinch the women's skeet victory, one hit more than her compatriot Che Yufei. Zhang Zixi and Chen Pengyu added another gold in the trap mixed team after beating Sarah Alhawal and Naser Almeqled of Kuwait 43-39.

China's rifle squad, competing without Olympic champions Sheng Lihao, Huang Yuting and Liu Yukun, collected five silver medals with an inexperienced lineup. India was the biggest winner in the discipline with four golds, with two-time Olympian Elavenil Valarivan winning titles in both women's and team 10m air rifle events.

In non-Olympic events, a standout moment came in the women's 10m air rifle team event, where the Chinese trio of Liu Yafei, Peng Xinlu and Zhang Liyuan set both a new world record and world junior record. Their score of 1902.0 made them the first team to surpass 1900 points, eclipsing the previous world mark of 1898.4 set by the United States in 2022.

The Asian Shooting Championships will conclude on Friday after two more days of non-Olympic competitions.■
