The Star of Shooting -- Wang Yifu
射击明星——王义夫
Wang Yifu was born in the city of Shenyang, Liaoning Province in December 4th 1960. He went to Liaoning Amateur Sport School at 6 years old. Then he was selected to Liaoning Provincial Shooting Team in 1977, and to the Shooting-Archery Center of General Administration of Sport of China in 1994. Now he is a player, a coach and the deputy leader of the National Shooting Team. Looking back at his sport life, we can see it is a mixture of successes and failures, flowers and tears.
王义夫是中国国家射击队副领队，教练兼运动员。1960年12月4日，王义夫出生于辽宁沈阳，16岁时进入辽宁业余体校，17岁进入辽宁省射击队。1994年王义夫被调入国家体委射击、射箭运动管理中心，现任国家射击队副领队，教练兼运动员。
When Xu Haifeng won the first Olympic gold medal at Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984, the 24-year-old Wang Yifu won the bronze medal at the same time. Then he lost in the match again at the Olympic Games in 1988. He won his first gold medal in 1992. After that he won silver medals at Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games and Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. In 2004, Wang Yifu took part in Athens Olympic Games for the 6th time and won the gold medals in men's 10m air pistol. Maybe nobody will forget the scene that Wang Yifu fell into a swoon losing the gold medal he had been longing for. But everyone will forever remember his answer to a journalist after winning gold medal at Athens 2004 Olympic Games. The journalist asked him, "As the eldest player, will you go on taking part in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games?" He asserted, "As long as my country needs me, I'll always be there, no matter how old I am."
1984年洛杉矶奥运会上许海峰夺得中国第一枚奥运会金牌的时候，在同一项目上获得铜牌的是24岁的王义夫。1988年奥运会，他再度失意而归；1992年奥运会上他终于获得冠军；1996年和2000年分别在亚特兰大和悉尼都取得了奥运银牌。2004年，王义夫第六次参加奥运会，夺得男子10米气手枪金牌。也许大家都会记得2000年悉尼奥运会上的那一幕，王义夫晕倒在射击场上，与朝思暮想的金牌失之交臂；更不会忘记，当王义夫获得2004年雅典奥运会男子10米气手枪金牌后，有记者问他：“您作为年龄最大的运动员，是不是还会参加2008年奥运会？”王义夫回答道：“年龄不是问题，只要祖国需要，我还会出现在训练场上！”
