Rio 2016 bronze medalist Li Yuehong endured two shoot-off rounds to claim victory in the men's 25-meter rapid fire pistol to earn his second Olympic appearance as the Chinese shooting team's Olympic qualification series concluded in Guangzhou, south China's Guangdong Province, on Monday.

The 31-year-old wrapped up the final with a 5-hit shoot-off to best teammate Zhang Jian for the win with a total score of 31.

"Although I was lucky to win the gold, the result is not satisfactory," said the veteran, who shot for 590 points in the qualification round on Sunday. "In the months to come, I will cooperate with my coach and stay Tokyo-oriented, especially improving my performance in the final. Hopefully, I can make some breakthroughs."

Recalling the past 12 months under COVID-19 impact, Li said that life has been grueling for a veteran athlete like him.

"In terms of energy, stamina, or training intensity, everything is tough. For me there's also responsibility as a husband and a father, I sometimes had a feeling of powerlessness," Li told reporters.

"It feels good to survive all these," he added.

Li will compete alongside 2018 world champion Lin Junmin at the Tokyo Olympics. The 24-year-old, who finished fifth in Monday's final, is still on his way to recovering his best form from a hand injury.
