China enjoyed another gold haul at the Lusail Shooting Complex in the 15th Asian Games in Doha on Tuesday, featuring three new Asiad champions.

Wang Nan, a 28-year-old Asiad debutant shot down the highest of 144 targets out of 150 in the men's double trap qualification round. He secured the gold medal after gathering 45 hits from the 50-target final round, beating his teammate Hu Binyuan, the runner-up of the world championships to the second by one hit.

"We didn't do well in the training sessions as it was very windy during the last two days," said Wang, fifth-placer in the world championships. "However, we are not affected by the shifting winds thanks to the strategy, which was decided by our coaches last night.

"They told us not to care about the wind but to concentrate and behave like there is no wind at all."

The Chinese were lucky as there was only gentle breeze during the competition.

India's Olympic silver medalist Rajyavardhan Si Rathore took the bronze medal with a total of 185 hits.

"I'm always happy," said Rathore. "The second round (of the qualification) is Ok. I missed the beginning target.

"The Chinese are good shooters. That made the game very difficult."

Earlier on Dec. 5, Wang, Hu and anther Chinese debutant Liu Anlong combined 424 hits for China in the team event, setting a new Asian team record and won the title.

Xu Kun, China's national champion, captured the gold medal of the men's 50m pistol in his Asiad debut with a total of 663.8 points despite of a 7.3 in the third shot of the 10-shot final.

"The third shot was the only bad one in my final," he said. "I pulled the trigger too hard in that shot."

Xu, together with his compatriot Tan Zongliang, the world champion, and debutant Pang Wei, won the team title for the reigning champion with a total of 1682 points.

"Vying for the individual title produced more pressure, becaus there were three of us who could share the pressure in the team event," said Xu, the gold medalist of the World Cup in Milan this year. "However, I took the team title as more important."

In the 10m range, China's Gan Lin, the runner-up of the world championships, was the only competitor in the men's 10m running target event from China. He collected 293 points in the slow run and 286 points in the fast run, easily grabbing his first major international title.

Kazakhstan, South Korea and Qatar finished on the top three positions in the team rankings.

Chinese veterans shone, too. Chen Ying, 29, reclaimed her Asiad title in the women's 25m pistol while Tao Luna, 32, took the silver after retaining the air pistol individual title last Sunday.

Chen finished first with a total score of 792.2 points after winning a fierce final duel with Tao, who had an equal qualification score of 587 points.

"My score of the final was not so good," said Chen, the world champion in Zagreb this year. "Normally I shoot more than 206 points in the 20-shot final."

"The rapid stage is my favorite, but I didn't do quite well in that stage today," said Chen, who collected 296 points out of a possible 300 in the rapid stage.

Tao, the world record holder of the event, won her second individual medal with a total score of 790.7 points.

South Korea's Kim Byung Hee took the bronze medal with 785.3 points.

The team gold went to the Chinese for the sixth time in a row with a total of 1749 points.

The other two gold medals of the day went to South Korea's markswomen, who dominated in the non-Olympic double trap event by winning both the team and the individual title.

The South Korean trio won the team title with a total of 303 hits while Son Hye Kyoung, the leading shooter grabbed the individual gold with 105 hits.

"I am very satisfied with the results," said a joyful Son Hye Kyoung after the match. "I did not expect a gold, as every competition is unpredictable."

On the gold medal tally, China is leading with 19 golds. Kazakhstan was on the second position with four, followed by South Korea and Kuwait both had two golds in hand.

The shooting competition of the 15th Asian Games kicked off on Dec. 2 and will be finished on the 8th.
