"After I finished the competition, I looked back, seeing my coach smiling. I knew that I got another quota place for China in this event," said the champion.
Pan noted that he has great pressure competing in the shooting range, especially in the next-to-last pair, when his pace was disrupted by the accident.
"When I aimed for the last pair, my hands were shaking," he said, "I know that I am going to win, if I could down them both."
The first time Pan shot in the final of international events was in the Lonato Fort of World Cup in Shotgun this past June, when he had a near miss with the quota place by finishing fifth.
"This time my luck is good," he said. "We have made plans for competing in windy days, but today is sunny."
Fighting shoulder by shoulder with his teammate Wang Zheng helped ease his nervousness. "Realizing that he is standing next to me, I was reassured."
Zhang Huiqun, a coach with the national team who had been pacing anxiously outside the shooting range, dashed towards the boy after the final, taking his gun and giving him a big hug.
The waiting Sun rose up from his chair, letting out a sigh and patted Pan's sun-tanned face gently as praise.
"I had been worried for him after the judge's caution, for fear it would disrupt his performance, but he managed to tide over," said Sun smilingly.
"This kid is a good shooter, as pure as a piece of white paper and always confident in competitions," he said.
