China emerged triumphant at the ISSF World Cup Rifle / Pistol in Munich, topping the medal table after a stunning performance that included sweeping both mixed team finals on Saturday. With an impressive tally of four golds and three bronzes, China was the only team to collect seven medals during the competition.

India sealed second place with two golds and two silvers, while Norway rounded out the top three with a pair of golds at the event in Germany.

China built on its early momentum to wrap up the action in style.

In the 10m air rifle mixed team final, the formidable duo of Wang Zifei and Olympic champion Sheng Lihao combined to score 505.5 points, narrowly outpacing Norway's Jeanette Hegg Duestad and Jon-Hermann Hegg by two points to clinch gold. Chinese compatriots Han Jiayu and Ma Sihan ended up with bronze.

The Chinese team then completed the closing day podium sweep in the 10m air pistol mixed team final, with Yao Qianxun and Hu Kai edging India's Manu Bhaker and Samrat Rana by a razor-thin margin of just 0.3 points. Yao and Hu grabbed gold with a stellar 483.9 points, while their Indian rivals settled for silver with 483.6 points.
