China having a below par Olympics by their standards. That's two golds from Tokyo they have dropped today. Mixed Pistol and 10m Air Rifle W.

 Not really. They have 3 gold now, 1 less from Tokyo.

 

That said, do they have chances in skeets and traps?

A lot of wind in Chateauroux this morning.

I have to admit that mixed events are boring to watch...

Korean male is shooting very well - riflesque scores but the Korean female is letting him down.

Edit - Either of the athletes in Korean team is consistently shooting 9s leading to their low cumulative scores.

The Korean couple literally died from the pressure. Easy medal for India

I think Vijender Singh is half Sikh and he won bronze in men's boxing in 2008 Olympics.

Lower quality final compared to the bronze medal match.

This format is inferior in so many ways. Lesser variability in medallists, too much dependence on qualification and inferior to watch.
