In the women's 25-meter pistol competition, the Chinese team sent Liu Rui, Chen Yan and the bronze medalist of the Tokyo Olympics Xiao Jiaruixuan to participate. Chen Yan ranked sixth in the qualifying round with 585 rings and advanced to the qualifying round with 8 players. In the suspenseful qualifying match, Chen Yan missed 4 consecutive shots in the first group of 5 shots, ranking last. Then she quickly adjusted her state, with a total of 15 rounds in the last three groups missing only 3 rounds, ranking second in the group to advance to the medal competition. In the
