China's shooting stars continue to lead the way

WUHAN (CHN) - China's shooters were at home on the range on Thursday as they won both team competitions to increase their gold-medal haul to nine in shooting at the Military World Games.

The Chinese men beat Finland and Austria into second and third place respectively in the 300m military rapid fire rifle team event, and the women also shot to victory in the 25m military rapid fire pistol competition. DPR Korea picked up the silver and Poland took bronze.
