Yang Ji-in won the women’s 25-meter pistol title at the 2026 ISSF World Championships in Doha with 44 points, defeating Vietnam’s Trinh Thu Vinh by one point. Her final score surpassed the previous world record of 43, and she secured the victory by hitting all 15 shots in the last three series after trailing through the seventh.
The result gave Yang her second consecutive individual world championship title and earned South Korea one quota place for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The quota belongs to the country rather than Yang personally, so she must still qualify through South Korea’s national selection process.
