TOYOTA, Japan, Sept. 28 (Yonhap) -- After her miscue cost her team a chance to win gold at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in Japan on Monday, pistol shooter Yang Ji-in said she will try to learn from the experience and come back even stronger.

Yang and her two teammates, Bong Seo-rin and Oh Ye-jin, won silver in the women's 25-meter pistol team event at Aichi Prefectural General Shooting Gallery in Toyota, about 60 kilometers east of the main host city of Nagoya. With the team standings determined by individual shooters qualification scores, the trio combined for 1,735 points, ending up 1,743 points back of China.

During her qualification round, Yang did not pull her trigger within the three-second limit on the 21st of her 30 shots. The unfired shot was registered as a miss for zero points.

Given that Yang, the 2024 Olympic champion in this distance, led all shooters in the qualification with 27 inner-10s, South Korea could well have won the team gold here if Yang had taken that fateful shot in time.

Yang, who was inconsolable in the immediate aftermath of the incident, fought back tears as she discussed the situation following the team medal ceremony.

"I was so heartbroken that I didn't get to show all the things I prepared for," Yang said. "It felt like all the preparation we had as a team went to waste."

Yang, 23, entered Monday leading the qualification stage, following Sunday's initial phase.

"I put myself in a good position after yesterday, and I really wanted to do well here," Yang added. "I will try to become mentally stronger so that I will not repeat the same mistake at a big competition like this. I want to be able to show people my smiling face, not the crying one."

Yang showed a glimpse of her mental fortitude Monday, as she hit multiple inner-10s after her miss.

"I knew I still had more shots to take even after that mistake," she said. "The competition was not over, and I wanted to have a strong finish."

After Yang was done, South Korea fell from first to fourth in the team standings, with Bong still to go in the last group of shooters. And it was Bong's strong performance that lifted South Korea back into medal contention.

Bong said she had no idea where her team stood and she was not aware of Yang's score or her miscue before she took her turn.

"I just wanted to do the best I can from my position," she said. "I got a little angry at myself because I started out poorly. I was able to sharpen my focus in the latter stages."

Oh, the 2024 Olympic gold medalist in the 10m air pistol event who chose to compete in the 25m event here, was the first of the three South Koreans to finish the qualification round. And with Bong wrapping up her competition and Yang still trying to pick up the pieces after her round, Oh said she was the first one on the team to learn of the silver medal.

"We all trusted each other and tried to pull each other," the 21-year-old Oh said, also choking back tears. "We all did our part under some difficult circumstances, and this is a very good outcome."

During the medal ceremony, at least, all three shooters flashed smiles. They even struck a pose on the podium -- with Bong, the shortest of the group, kneeling in the middle while Oh and Yang flanked her, with all three stretching their arms to form a giant "V."

Oh revealed it took the three teammates just five minutes to come up with the idea, right before the ceremony.

"We all cried so much because we really wanted gold here. But since we still got a medal, we wanted to have a little fun in the ceremony," Oh said, at last flashing a smile. "Seo-rin wanted to do a finger gun pose, but I told her that was too old. We settled on the V pose."

The senior member of the team at age 32, Bong said she will forever cherish the experience of training and competing with Yang and Oh.

"I kept telling the girls how much fun I was having getting ready for the Asian Games," Bong said. "I thanked them so many times for helping create such wonderful memories. I hope they feel the same way. I know I will get to be teammates with other shooters down the road, but being around these two will stay with me for the rest of my life."

日本丰田，9月28日（韩联社）——周一，在日本爱知-名古屋亚运会上，手枪射击选手杨智仁因一次失误导致她的队伍错失金牌。赛后，杨智仁表示，她将努力从这次经历中吸取教训，争取以更强的姿态回归。

杨和她的两位队友奉瑞琳和吴艺珍在爱知县立综合射击场（位于丰田市，距主赛事举办地名古屋以东约60公里）举行的女子25米手枪团体赛中获得银牌。由于团体排名由个人射击资格赛成绩决定，三人总分1735分，落后中国队1743分。

在资格赛中，杨在30发子弹中的第21发，未能在三秒时限内扣动扳机。这次未击发的子弹被判为脱靶，得分为零。

鉴于杨是 2024 年奥运会该项目的冠军，他在资格赛中以 27 个十环的成绩领先所有射击选手，如果杨及时打出那决定性的一枪，韩国队很有可能赢得这里的团体金牌。

事件发生后，杨在那一刻悲痛欲绝，在团体颁奖仪式后谈到此事时，她强忍着泪水。

“我非常难过，因为我没能展现出我准备的一切，”杨说道。“感觉我们全队的准备都白费了。”

23岁的杨在周日的第一阶段比赛结束后，于周一进入资格赛阶段，目前处于领先地位。

“昨天之后，我把自己置于一个有利的位置，我真的很想在这里取得好成绩，”杨补充道。“我会努力提升自己的心理素质，这样就不会在这种大型比赛中重蹈覆辙。我希望能够展现给大家的是笑容，而不是泪水。”

周一，杨展现了她强大的心理素质，在投篮失手后，她连续投中了多个10分球。

“我知道即使犯了那个错误，我还有很多机会，”她说。“比赛还没有结束，我想以一个漂亮的收官结束比赛。”

杨的比赛结束后，韩国队在团体排名中从第一跌至第四，而奉俊昊还在最后一组射击选手中。正是奉俊昊的出色表现，才让韩国队重回奖牌争夺行列。

奉表示，她不知道自己的队伍排名如何，在轮到她击球之前，她也不知道杨的得分或失误情况。

“我只想尽我所能做到最好，”她说。“我一开始表现不好，有点生自己的气。不过在后期我调整了状态，集中了注意力。”

曾获得2024年冬奥会10米气手枪金牌的吴珊卓，此次选择参加25米气手枪比赛，她是三位韩国选手中第一个完成资格赛的。当时奉俊昊已经结束了比赛，杨祐树还在调整状态，吴珊卓表示她是队里第一个得知自己获得银牌的人。

“我们都互相信任，互相扶持，”21岁的吴哽咽着说，“在如此艰难的情况下，我们都尽了自己的一份力，这是一个非常好的结果。”

至少在颁奖仪式上，三位射击选手都露出了笑容。她们甚至在领奖台上摆了个造型——三人中最矮的奉俊昊跪在中间，吴和杨分列两侧，三人伸开双臂，摆出一个巨大的“V”字形。

吴透露，就在仪式开始前五分钟，三位队友就想出了这个主意。

“我们都哭了好久，因为我们真的很想拿金牌。不过既然我们已经拿到奖牌了，就想在颁奖仪式上玩得开心一点，”吴女士终于露出了笑容。“徐琳想摆个手枪的姿势，但我告诉她那太老套了。最后我们摆了个V字手势。”

32岁的队内资深队员奉表示，她将永远珍惜与杨和吴一起训练和比赛的经历。

“我一直跟女孩们说我备战亚运会有多开心，”邦说道。“我无数次感谢她们帮我创造了如此美好的回忆。我希望她们也有同样的感觉。我知道以后我还会和其他射击运动员并肩作战，但和她们俩在一起的时光将永远铭刻在我的记忆中。”
