<b>A Chinese triumvirate was leading the 10m Air Rifle Women final today at the ISSF World Cup Final in Munich.</b>
Liuxi Wu, 20, Zhao Yinghui, 23, and all ahead Du Li, 23, the Olympic Gold medal winner of Athens 2004. The current world rank leader Du, winner of last year’s World Cup Final in Bangkok, again kept her balance and shot a great average of 10.5 through the final. “I was not nervous and that is my normal performance during training and I think I can do better”, said Du after the final. Zhao Yinghui, who qualified for the World Cup Final through her Gold medal at this year’s first World Cup in Changwon started one point below Du Li and finished today on place two ahead of her team mate Wu Liuxi, Gold medallist of the World Cup Munich this year. The final consisted of all eight qualification shooters since Sonja Pfeilschifter from Germany cancelled her participation today due to sickness.
