China's Olympic team has won its third gold medal in the men's 10m air pistol event at the Paris Olympics, thanks to the stellar performance of Chinese athlete Xie Yu. The victory has sparked widespread celebration among Chinese fans and netizens on social media platform Weibo.
According to reports, Xie Yu clinched the gold medal with a total score of 240.9, beating two Italian athletes in the final round. The win marks a significant milestone for China's shooting team, which has not won a gold medal in the event since the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

However, not all reactions have been positive. Some users have been criticizing the Chinese media for its overemphasis on Olympic gold medals, arguing that it puts undue pressure on athletes and detracts from the true spirit of sports. "Why do we always have to focus on winning gold medals? Can't we just celebrate the athletes' efforts and achievements regardless of the outcome?" wrote one user.

Despite these criticisms, the majority of Weibo users have been celebrating Xie Yu's victory, with many hailing him as a hero and a role model for young Chinese athletes. "Xie Yu's victory is not just a win for himself, but for the entire Chinese team. He's an inspiration to us all!" wrote one user.
The Chinese Olympic team's third gold medal win has also sparked renewed interest in the country's sports development and investment in Olympic sports. Many users have been calling for greater investment in sports infrastructure and training programs, arguing that it is essential for China to maintain its competitive edge in international sports.
As the Paris Olympics continue, Chinese fans and netizens are eagerly anticipating more victories and achievements from China's Olympic team. With Xie Yu's gold medal win, the mood is upbeat, and the expectation is high. "We are all Team China! Let's go for more gold medals!" wrote one user.

"Thank you, Xie Yu, and all the athletes and coaches for bringing glory to our country! We are proud of you!" wrote one user.
As the country basks in the glory of its third gold medal win, the focus is now on the remaining Olympic events, where Chinese athletes are expected to continue their winning streak.
