Zhu did not smile when he was at the medal-awarding podium.
"At least I did do well in the first nine shots," he said, comforting himself.
Yi, who joined the national team last year, merely scored 9.7 points in her first shot in the final stage, signaling a dooming fate.
"I was very nervous in the first place," Yi said, noting that the competition was fiercer than she had expected.
Yi's coach said her shooting techniques are good, what she lacks in experience and self control.
The downfall of the Chinese regiment, however, benefits the western shooters.
Israel's Sergy Rikhter claimed the gold medal of men's 10m air rifle, edging Hunary's Peter Sidi and China's Zhu Qinan to pocket his first medal in the international arena. Sidi scored 701.5 points to take home a silver medal, while Zhu made 700.6 points. Rikhter, who had never won a medal in the ISSF World Cup series, also placed the first place with 599 points in the qualifying round earlier on the day.
Despite a poor last shot of 9.8 points in the final, the 20-year-old still made his medal dream come true. "I'm every excited, I did not expect that," Rikhter told Xinhua after the final.
He said the Munich leg of ISSF World Cup is his fourth international appearance, and he was very pleased to bring a medal for his team.
On the women's event later on the day, Ukrainian and German shooters shared the medals of women's 10m air rifle.
