    Xu was the Gold Medal Winner of 50m pistol (60 shots) Men at the23rd Olympic Games, L.A.

    Sports Career:

 

    From the little slinging "bird-terminator" to Olympic winner, Xu Haifeng has been ambitious to become a sharpshooter since childhood. Through years of strictly self-disciplined practicing, the determined Xu trained himself a real crack shot despite the lack of professional regular shooting training. In 1982, Xu enrolled in the provincial shooting team of Anhui, and two years later in 1984, the marksman started his sports career in the national team.

 

    High Performances:

 

    1984   The 23rd Olympic Games, L.A  Gold, individual free pistol 60 shots, China's first Olympic gold medal

    1986   The 10th Asia Games, Seoul  -Gold, individual free pistol (Temporary WR breaking score of 660pts )-Gold, individual air pistol-Gold, team free pistol

    1990            Asia Games, Beijing  Four gold medals

    1991   World Air Pistol Championship  Gold

    1991   The 7th Asian Championship  Five gold medals

 

The self-trained world champion, the first gold winner of the 23rd Olympic Games, China's first Olympic gold winner, the coach of two Olympic gold winners…XU Haifeng, the creator of the country's history of Olympic golds, froze the breath-taking shot at the 23rd Games and since then began a new era of China's Olympic history. True to his name of the "gold athlete" and "gold coach", XU Haifeng will be remembered as a sports hero and a legend never fade.
