CHINA have demonstrated their shooting dominance at the ISSF World Cup in Beijing, taking their tally to six golds.

Reigning Olympic champion Guo Wenjun took the women's 10m air pistol title picking up 489.2 points.

Lioubov Laskevich from Russia trailed by 2.5 points to get the silver while South Korea's Kim Seon took the bronze with 483.9.

Meanwhile, Wu Liuxi took her second gold of the competition in the women's 50m rifle after capturing 10m rifle gold earlier in the event.

Teammate Chengyi Wang claimed silver while Elaheh Ahmadi picked up the bronze medal.

And Liu Yingzi continued the Chinese women's dominance with gold in the women's trap ahead of Japan's Keiko Suzu and Slovakian Zuzana Stefecekova.

Not to be outdone, the Chinese men put on a great show in front of their home crowd with Mo Junjie topping the podium in the double trap.

Li Yuehong took his second World Cup gold in the men's 25m rapid fire pistol with 785.5 points after winning in Sydney last month.

But the hosts didn't have it all their own way as Germany's Julian Justus took the men's 50m rifle title ahead of China's Fu Zhang.

And earlier in the competition American Kim Rhode took the women's skeet title while Germany's Munkhbayar Dorjsuren won the women's 25m pistol.
