The 24-year-old Guo Wenjun won three gold medals of the International Sport Shooting Federation (ISSF) World Cup in the 10m Air Pistol in 2007 and her excellent performance earned her a reputation as one of the world's most promising markswomen in the event.
China named 639 athletes to contest 38 disciplines of all 28 sports for the Beijing Olympics in a low-profile ceremony last Friday.
Those uprising stars among the Chinese delegation attracted much attention as they are also medalist hopefuls in this Olympics.
