At 4:55 in the afternoon, the archery mixed recurve bow team final was held as scheduled at the Chang’an Changning Ecological Sports Training and Competition Base. The two sides of the final were the national team members Wang Dapeng and Wu Jiaxin’s Olympic joint team and the Tianjin team’s Zhang Chunhong and Long Xiaoqing combination.

The best result of the two was the bronze medal in the archery mixed team competition at the 2017 National Games.

In the overtime game, the joint team Wang Dapeng shot first, “9th ring!” There was a loud applause at the scene, and Wu Jiaxin once again 10th ring, igniting the atmosphere of the scene. The pressure was transmitted to the Tianjin team, Zhang Chunhong and Long Xiaoqing’s neat 10th and 9th rings made the audience thoroughly boiled. In the end, Zhang Chunhong’s 10 rings were closer to the bullseye and won the game. This was also the first gold medal for Tianjin Archery in the National Games.
After the match, Zhou Xuemin, director of Tianjin Gymnastics, Martial Arts, Shooting and Archery Management Center, embraced the two team members excitedly. Confident, challenge higher goals, fight the level, and finally win!”.
