Taiwan’s Yang Kun-pi and Lin Yi-chun yesterday won a silver medal in the Asian Games trap shooting mixed team event in Indonesia with a score of 42, one point behind Lebanon’s Alain Moussa and Ray Bassil.

The Taiwanese pair scored 146 to finish first in the qualifying round, setting a world-record qualifying score.

However, in the final round they were bested by Moussa and Bassil, who placed third with 143 in qualifying, and had to settle for second place.

Yang on Monday won gold in men’s trap shooting, hitting 48 of his 50 targets to equal a world record set by Alberto Fernandez of Spain last year.
