Taiwan's Yang Kun-pi wins shooting silver while Chen Nien-qin claims boxing gold.

At the Nagoya Asian Games shooting venue, Taiwanese shooter Yang Kun-pi secured the silver medal in the men's trap final after being edged out by his opponent in a tense finish, losing by a mere single point. Meanwhile, female boxer Chen Nien-chin advanced to the gold medal bout in the women's boxing competition for the first time, ultimately claiming the gold with an overwhelming advantage. The outstanding performances of both athletes sent Taiwan to the podium once again at this year's Asian Games, injecting new vitality into the nation's sports sector.

Trap shooting, also known as running target shooting, is a competitive discipline combining precision shooting with rapid reflexes. Athletes must aim at moving targets within a very short timeframe, where shooting accuracy and speed are of equal importance. In this year's final, Yang completed multiple rounds of shooting with a steady overall performance, only to be overtaken by his opponent in the final round by a single point. This hard-fought battle not only demonstrated the superb skills of both athletes but also highlighted the profound impact of marginal differences in the sport of shooting. Notably, Yang's silver medal marks the Taiwanese shooting team's first Asian Games medal in this event since 2018, ending a dry spell of over eight years and writing a new chapter in Taiwan's shooting history.

Since the 1990s, the Taiwanese shooting team has achieved success in various international competitions, though results in the trap event had been relatively sluggish over the past decade. Yang has repeatedly reaped honors in numerous domestic and international competitions, including a bronze medal at the 2023 ISSF World Shooting Championships, proving that his prowess should not be underestimated.
