Day Ten -- Shooting Wrapup / Wrestling Preview
Day Ten, and the Shooting events ended today. Let’s take a look at the most popular picks:
Selections | Athlete | Country |
---|---|---|
43 | Vincent Hancock | United States |
20 | Giovanni Cernogoraz | Croatia |
12 | Li Yuehong | China |
12 | Zhang Bowen | China |
10 | Anna Korakaki | Greece |
8 | Diana Bacosi | Italy |
7 | Han Jiayu | China |
7 | Jiang Ranxin | China |
6 | Anna JanSSen | Germany |
5 | Dania Vizzi | United States |
Teams didn’t pick too many shooting athletes, which makes sense – though there are 15 events, there’s not a lot of opportunity for athletes to capture multiple medals. Showing some United States bias, Vincent Hancock was the most picked athlete, and he did well, earning a Gold and a Silver. Sheng Lihao from China was the overall top scorer with two Gold medals. Huang Yutin, also representing China, grabbed a Gold and a Silver.
The first medals in Wrestling are awarded tomorrow, let’s see who we like in that sport:
Selections | Athlete | Country |
---|---|---|
45 | Yui Susaki | Japan |
32 | Akhmed Tazhudinov | Bahrain |

10 | Kyle Dake | United States |
7 | Kyle Snyder | United States |
6 | Hassan Yazdani | Iran |
6 | Stevan Micic | Serbia |
