Players of Team China triumphed during the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan as they led the medal tally with four gold medals, one silver and two bronzes.
China's veteran Li Yuehong edged Clement Bessaguet of France by one hit to win the men's 25m rapid fire pistol gold on Sunday.
Li, Bessaguet and Florian Peter of Germany were tied on 24 hits with two series to go before two-time Olympic bronze medalist Li went ahead with a perfect series, followed by Bessaguet one hit behind. Peter missed two shots in the penultimate series and had to settle for the bronze.

Having missed his first target in the final series, 33-year-old Li held his nerve to make the following four and kept a 33 to 32 advantage over his French rival, who also missed one hit.
"After hard work, I just try my best," said Li after the match.
