The men's 10-meter air rifle team final of the Doha Asian Games has concluded. The match was divided into six rounds, and the Chinese team ranked first with a total score of 1786, smoothly winning the first gold medal for the Chinese delegation. Among them, Liu Tianyou scored 598 points, Zhu Qinan scored 594 points in three rounds, and Li Jie also scored 594 points.

On December 2 Beijing time, the 2006 Doha Asian Games entered the first day of competition. In the just-concluded women's 10-meter air rifle individual final, Athens Olympic champion Du Li won the gold medal with a total score of 501.4 points thanks to her stable performance. Zhao Yinghui and Wu Liuxi ranked second and third respectively.

China's lineup in the women's 10-meter air rifle is very strong, with Athens Olympic champion Du Li, shooting world champion Zhao Yinghui, and newcomer Wu Liuxi who have had excellent performances in recent years all having the potential to win the championship. However, the strength of the opponents cannot be ignored either. After the preliminary round, although Chinese players swept the top three places, among the eight finalists, the score gap between the first place and the last place was only 3 points, foreshadowing that the final would be very intense.

In the first round, Du Li, Zhao Yinghui, and Wu Liuxi all performed normally, and Du Li even shot 10.6 points to further consolidate her advantage. After the first five rounds, although Kazakhstan, India, and Singaporean players once achieved scores of 10.8 and 10.9 points, due to their own fluctuations being too large, the competition for the top three basically focused on the three Chinese players.

Du Li has always been in a favorable position leading by one point in the preliminary round, while Zhao Yinghui and Wu Liuxi were fiercely competing for the second place. It wasn't until the last round that Zhao Yinghui, who had been keeping up all along, finally surpassed her teammate with a shot of 10.8 points, ultimately scoring 501 points to take the silver medal. Du Li won the championship with 501.4 points, and young player Wu Liuxi ranked third with 500.4 points.
