The Chinese sport shooter I like best is Wang Yifu who was in terms of Olympic medals one of the most successful sport shooters of all times. He specializes in the 50 m Pistol and 10 m Air Pistol events.
Wang won his first Olympic medal in the Los Angeles games at the age of 23. After this the Air Pistol event was added to the program and this is where he has achieved his greatest accomplishments. He won the 1992 gold medal only days after a new medal in the 50 m event. His three attempts to repeat the victory have provided impressive results and very tight duels:

In the 2004 competition Wang scored 590 once more but lost the Olympic record to Mikhail Nestruev (Russia) who achieved 591. However Wang Yifu chased quickly and eventually won by a margin of 0.2 points to get his second Olympic gold.
I like Wang Yifu and I also like his great sprite.
