Tokyo Olympics: First gold of Games goes to China’s Yang Qian in shooting

She had to put her own medal round her neck and sing the national anthem behind a mask, but Chinese shooter Yang Qian still celebrated winning the first gold medal of the Tokyo Olympics.

The morning after the deferred Games had opened with a downsized and dismal function, Yang won the 10-meter rifle contest before void stands.She was given her decoration on a plate by International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach as per the Covid-19 conventions that will influence each part of these Games. Exciting music had been funneled into the setting and just a small bunch of Chinese care staff were there to compliment her on her triumph after a nail-gnawing last in which she secured triumph with an Olympic record over Russian Anastasiia Galashina in the last round, however she appreciated the experience.
