KUALA LUMPUR, July 27 — As age is the biggest obstacle for athletes to remain competitive in most sports events, national Olympic shooter Johnathan Wong can count himself among...
The 31-year-old Johnathan Wong , making his second Olympic appearance after the Rio 2016 edition, will see action in his favourite event, the men’s 10-metre air pistol, in the qualification round at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre in the Centre-Val de Loire region at 4.30pm Malaysian time today.
This is because success in the sport of shooting depends, among other things, on physical ability, mental strength, and the athlete’s discipline during preparation and on the field, making psychological composition as important as technical skills. For Paris 2024, Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec, 51, is the oldest athlete among the 33 participants in the men’s 10m air pistol event, with the average age of participants being 29.6 years.
With his preparation bolstered by assistance from the National Sports Institute, the motivation for the 2021 SEA Games 10m air pistol gold medallist in Hanoi, Vietnam to excel is at its peak.
