Lyu Jianlin and Jiang Yiting set a skeet mixed team world record of 52 points to win gold at the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games on Thursday. The Chinese pair finished one point ahead of South Korea at the Aichi Prefectural General Shooting Gallery in Toyota City. The score beat the previous world mark of 47 by five points.

A final series that came down to Jiang's last four shots

The four-team final began with Qatar eliminated after the third series at 18 points. China led with 23, South Korea had 22, and India sat at 21. South Korea drew level at 30, and both teams hit all eight targets in the following series.

China edged ahead 45–44 in the penultimate series after South Korea's Lee Jong-jun missed twice. India was eliminated at that point for bronze. In the decisive final series, South Korea's Jang Kook-hee missed her second shot, leaving her pair at 51.

Lyu missed his second target, which meant Jiang needed all four of her remaining shots to avoid a tiebreaking shoot-off. She hit every one. The gold was China's, and the world record stood at 52.

Third gold of the Games for a rising Chinese shooter

The result added another world record to China's strong shooting campaign in Aichi-Nagoya. Earlier in the competition, Jiang won the individual women's skeet gold with an Asian Games record of 35 hits. Lyu took silver in the men's individual skeet with 33.

Jiang, born in 2004 in Putian, Fujian, also won bronze with Lyu in mixed team skeet at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Lyu, born in 1996 in Sichuan, took gold in men's skeet at the 2024 ISSF World Cup in Baku.
