Huang Yuting and her partner Yang Haoran won the 10m air rifle mixed team gold at the 2022 International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Championships Rifle/Pistol in Cairo, Egypt, on Oct 17.

The Chinese pair claimed the title after beating Kim Sang-do and Gwon Da-yeong 16-6.

The other Chinese duo comprising Sheng Lihao and Zhang Yu shared the bronze with Park Ha-jun and Cho Eun-young of South Korea.

This is the third medal that 16-year-old Huang has claimed at the world championships, following a gold in the women's 10m air rifle team event and a silver in the individual competition.

Born in Shangzheng township, Taizhou's Huangyan district in 2006, Huang is the youngest among the Chinese shooters at the competition.

Team China have already gained four berths from individual disciplines, including the men's and women's 10m air pistol, as well as the men's and women's 10m air rifle.
