Pang Wei
China's Pang Wei shot to fame at the 2008 Beijing Games when he won 10m air pistol gold. Thirteen years later in Tokyo, he again stood on the highest podium by winning the 10m air pistol mixed team gold, along with a 10m air pistol bronze. After Rio 2016, where he won bronze, Pang retired to become a coach. In 2019, he decided he had some unfinished Olympic business. The 35-year-old trained over 10 hours a day in preparation for Tokyo, but insisted his medals made it all worthwhile. "I'm so happy to win an Olympic medal again," Pang said. "It's the best reward for my efforts."
