GWANGJU Brandon Fusco 49ers Jersey , July 5 (Xinhua) -- Chinese shooter Yi Siling, the London Olympic champion, suffered a huge blow when she ranked seventh in women's 10-meter air rifle at the Gwangju Universiade on Sunday.
The Chinese markswoman Marquise Goodwin 49ers Jersey , who jumped to fame by winning the London Olympics' first gold medal, was not in form at all at the Universiade, scoring three under-10s out of 10 shots.
According to the new rule of shooting Robbie Gould 49ers Jersey , each finalist needs to make the first six shots. Then after every two shots, the last placed competitor will be eliminated, which means only the eventual gold and silver medalists can hold on to finish the full 20 shots. Yi became the second one to exit and had to settle in seventh.
Yi started well to have the highest score of 10.6 in the opening shot and performed normally to take second place after the first six shots Elvis Dumervil 49ers Jersey , 0.5 points behind the Singapore Youth Olympics silver medalist Gabriela Vognarova of the Czech Republic.
But a blunder from seventh shot plunged Yi to trouble as the multiple World Cup winner hit just an under-par 9, which dragged Yi to fourth place. The following 9.7 and 9.8-point shots pushed Yi to the brink of elimination. Her 10.3 points in the 10th shot was not enough to keep her in competition.
Iran's Najmeh Khedmati, the fourth placed at the 2014 world championship Eli Harold 49ers Jersey , beat Vognarova to win the gold medal in 206.6 points.
Yi said she wawn't physically good enough for the competition for she had not fully recovered from a recent fever.
"I'm not feeling well, so the result does not come as a disappointment. As a matter of fact, I do not feel any pressure from my opponents here Jaquiski Tartt 49ers Jersey , but I just did so bad," said Yi.
"Before I got here, I had a fever for several days. I was worried I would become a suspected case of MERS in South Korea. Fortunately the fever broke just before the departure date and I finally made it to the Universiade Arik Armstead 49ers Jersey , but my physical condition wasn't good."
Yi entered China's prestigious Tsinghua University to study business management after the London Olympics and her next target is the Rio Olympics.
"For my future plan, I haven't figured out clearly, but in the short run DeForest Buckner 49ers Jersey , it will be Rio Olympics next year. Since I started my schooling in Tsinghua, I spend more time on education than training. For me, the university education is the priority even though I have been sticking to training with the national team."

BRASILIA， Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- As next week's impeachment trial for Brazil's suspended president Dilma Rousseff nears， political observers are looking beyond to what they see as a new chapter of opportunities.
The problem， as many see it， is that Rousseff's undecided state and her replacement's temporary status is holding the country back.
At the trial， Brazil's Senate is widely expected to impeach Rousseff， of the left-leaning Workers' Party (PT)， and fully instate now interim president Michel Temer， of the pro-business Brazilian Democratic Movement (PMDB).
David Fleischer， professor of Political Science at the University of Brasilia (UnB)， said the trial's end will finally allow Temer to take up the reins and carry out tough economic reforms to jump start the sluggish economy.
"This political party (PMDB) should serve to impose austerity measures，" said Fleischer， though he added it won't be easy.
"It's complicated， because the deputies (in Congress) aren't willing to limit spending， and that's the nature of politicians. But he (Temer) is presenting it as quite serious， because if you want to attract the private sector to invest again and to believe in the government， you have to take pretty tough measures，" Fleischer told Xinhua.
The first task the government must tackle is to control ballooning social security spending， he said.
"The social security deficit is growing like a tsunami (and) that could ruin the social benefits of a lot of people. In 10 or 15 years there won't be any more funds for people to retire. That needs to be attended to for future generations，" said Fleischer.
When it comes to the economy， whichever way the Senate votes on impeachment next week will help give the country direction， economist Jose Luiz Pagnussat， a professor at National School of Public Management (ENAP)， told Xinhua.
"Since the tendency is towards impeachment， the expectation is that the optimism of economic agents and indicators of confidence will improve. That points to greater investment once the impeachment is confirmed，" said Pagnussat.
A boost in investment， in turn， should help spur the economic recovery， a trend economists say is already being felt.
"Temer has pledged to implement reforms to expand alliances with the private sector (and) that tends to encourage investment in infrastructure and the flow of international capital，" added Pagnussat.
The downside， he said， could be that any belt-tightening "might negatively impact health and social security policies，" but if austerity measures lead to economic growth， that would compensate by generating jobs.
"We lost 10 years of decreasing unemployment in less than two years，" the economist lamented， noting Brazil's unemployment rate reached a low of 4.5 percent in December 2014 before spiking to more than 10 percent today， due to the economic slowdown.
Fleischer agreed the government's priority should be to reduce unemployment， as well as inflation and the interest rate.
"There may be a little social unrest (sparked by austerity)， but Temer has already said some painful reforms need to be made， because the state cannot spend more than it takes in，" said Fleischer.
Will Brazil's workers' unions and social organizations -- which have strong ties to Rousseff's Workers' Party -- be as willing to make the sacrifices the government feels are necessary?
"There are signs that they are going to sit at the negotia.
