High school shooter Ban Hyo-jin (Daegu Cheego High School) scored a surprise silver medal at the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Munich 2024 World Cup Shooting Competition.
Ban won silver in the 10-meter women’s air rifle final with a score of 257.6 behind China’s Huang Yuting (257.7) at the ISSF Munich 2024 World Cup on Wednesday in Munich, Germany.
It was Ban’s first medal in just her third adult international competition.

Hyojin Ban was in the top three in the first stage of the final (10 shots) and took the lead after the 18th shot.
However, the last shot was not good enough. China’s Huang, who was in second place, shot a 10.6, while Ban Hyo-Jin, who was in the lead, scored a 10.2 to change the medal color.

By the time the Tokyo Olympics rolled around in July 2021, Ban Hyo-jin, a late adopter of the sport who was in her second year of junior high school, had become one of South Korea’s leading marksmen in just three years.
He was the only high school shooter to qualify for 스포츠토토 the Olympics, taking first place at the recent trials in Paris. She has been called the “next Yeo Gap-soon” and is expected to win a medal.

Meanwhile, in the men’s 10-meter air rifle, Tokyo Olympic silver medalist Sheng Lihao (CHN) set a new world record of 254.5 points in the final to claim the first gold medal of the Games.
