The competition ended with the US having 25 points, ranked first.
And China Team placed second with 23 points.
There was no doubt that the US team had once again obtained a victory for this international shooting competition.
The US officials present instantly cheered.
They had always been more bold and unconstrained. They were so happy that they even started dancing.
Although the other countries didn’t appear too happy, they had to maintain a certain attitude.
They got to their feet and clapped with smiles on their faces.
Chairman Song and the rest stood up as well. However, their smiles were sincere.
Their smiles were mostly since they felt proud of Yin Ruoyi.
“Not bad. This time the China team got 23 points. It’s just a two-point difference compared to the US team.”
“For Yin Ruoyi’s first appearance, his individual score is just one point fewer than Cruff’s. That final battle, especially, was extremely fascinating.”
“We’ve got to compliment Yin Ruoyi later…”
When Gu Qingjiu, who was standing at the back, heard these comments, she sighed inwardly.
She understood that Yin Ruoyi’s performance was already considered not bad.
Especially his performance at the end. They could describe it as extremely outstanding.
The two-point difference between the two countries and one point difference between Yin Ruoyi and Cruff was a pity, though.
The prize-giving ceremony would be held tonight.
Seeing as the competition had ended, Gu Qingjiu left the viewing room.
Once the competition ended, they returned for some rest. They would return to China the next day.
When she returned to the hotel, Gu Qingjiu sent a message to Helian Niancheng.
She told him about the outcome of the competition.
Worried that Helian Niancheng might be busy, she didn’t abruptly call him…
Shortly after sending that text message, Helian Niancheng’s call came.
“The competition already ended?” Helian Niancheng asked in a low voice. From his end of the line came the sound of someone ruffling through pages from time to time.
Gu Qingjiu caught that, so she said, “Mm, it ended. The outcome is quite a pity for us. But our country’s players all did well. Are you busy right now?”
“Not really.”
Helian Niancheng set down the documents in his hands to focus on chatting with Gu Qingjiu.
“Are you coming back tomorrow? I’ll pick you up at the airport.”
“Mm. But I’m not sure if the higher-ups will need me to go back to the association with them. I’m afraid the chairman might have things to say. Why don’t I go over and look for you after I confirm this?”
Helian Niancheng gave it some thought, then responded in a low voice, “Sure, we’ll do as you say.”
“Chief Instructor, actually I’ve wanted to ask you, why does your country not take part in shooting competitions?”
When she was looking at the list of participants, she didn’t see anyone from Penalan.
“Our country rarely takes part in such international competitions. It’s not strange that you didn’t see anyone from Penalan.”
After hearing Helian Niancheng’s explanation, although Gu Qingjiu was still baffled about why Penalan didn’t participate in these competitions, she merely responded with an “oh.”
Just then Helian Niancheng suddenly asked, “You’ll be taking part in this competition three years from now. Now that you’ve watched them in advance, do you feel stressed?”
“Stress, not really. After all, there are still three years for me to prepare. That US player Cruff is the key player who obtained today’s victory. There’s something he did that until now I can’t figure out how he did it. The competition just ended. Our association’s chairman said he will send me the video for me to analyze later. I have to figure this out.”
“The competition of the video? You can bring it back. I have some understanding of this. We can watch it together, and I can give you my opinion for your reference.”
Gu Qingjiu immediately agreed.
