Central News Agency
(CNA Reporter Long Po-an, Taipei, 24th) At the ISSF Junior World Cup held in Cairo, Egypt, Liao Ke-rong, daughter of Asian Games shooting representative Ma Yu-mei, won the bronze medal in the women's 10m air pistol final with a score of 218.3. She expressed her happiness about winning the medal and hopes to step onto the Asian Games stage in the future, just like her mother.
Her mother is Ma Yu-mei, a two-time Asian Games national shooting representative. Influenced by her environment since childhood, Liao Ke-rong also embarked on a shooting career. Inheriting her mother's shooting genetics, the current high school sophomore recently won the individual silver medal in the high school girls' 10m air pistol event at the National High School Athletic Games. Now, she has added a bronze medal from the Junior World Cup to her shooting resume.
In an interview with CNA after the match, Liao Ke-rong still felt slightly frustrated. She stated that it was a pity she made a mistake at a critical moment, shooting only an 8.4, otherwise she might have had a chance to fight for silver. She also mentioned that she wasn't very nervous at the beginning of the final and focused on her own execution. However, as competitors were gradually eliminated and she got closer to the podium, her muscles grew stiff. "For the last shot, there was nothing left but the feeling of nervousness."
Liao Ke-rong won a gold medal at the Asian Junior Cup last year, but she laughed and said that luck was on her side that time, and her performance wasn't at its best. In this World Cup, however, she delivered a performance she was satisfied with and achieved her goal of reaching the podium at a Junior World Cup for the first time. She hopes to continuously strengthen her mentality and physical fitness in the future, aiming to represent Taiwan at the Asian Games, just like her mother.
Mother Ma Yu-mei also praised her. Although Liao Ke-rong had slight issues with physical stamina in the final, Ma commended her daughter's overall performance. She hopes this Junior World Cup medal will serve as a driving force for Liao Ke-rong's continuous improvement, propelling her toward even better results. (Editor: Long Po-an) 1150424
