Shooting powerhouse China thrilled local spectators by winning five of the total six Guangzhou Asaid shooting gold medals on Saturday.

The only "missing" gold went to South Korea.

Yi Siling, the 21-year-old world record holder, launched China's gold harvest by leading Chinese team to claim women's 10m air rifle team title. Yi headed the Chinese team with 399 points, and her teammates Wu Liuxi and Yu Dan garnered 398 and 397 points respectively.

However, it wasn't an effortless victory.

Iran made the second place with 1192 points, two points behind China, and four shy of the world record on this event.

"We didn't practise as much as Chinese shooters," said Iran coach Lasio Ferent Szucsnk. "We have to give them more confidence."

It was still not the strongest Iran team. "We have so many talented shooters in the team. The team won the university world championship this year, and the champion didn't come."

Yi made it much easier in the final of the individual event. She got a final score of 504.9 points, 2.1 more than teammate Wu Liuxi. With one shot remaining, Yi was still possible for a new world record. She needed a 10.8-plus performance, but the final shot turned out to be 10.0.

"I had a great opportunity," said Yi after the match. "I just thought too much about the new record."

South Korean pistol marksmen stopped China's winning streak. They collected 1,679 points to win men's 50m pistol team event to knock down the very first gold medal for the South Korean Asiad delegation.
