Sheng Lihao (Chinese: 盛李豪; pinyin: Shèng Lǐháo; born 4 December 2004) is a Chinese sport shooter.[1] He won the silver medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics in the 10m air rifle event.[2] He won the gold medal in both the Men's 10 metre Air Rifle and the 10m Air Rifle Mixed Team in a duo with Huang Yuting at the Summer Olympics 2024 in Paris.[3]

Sheng's journey into shooting began at the age of 13, during a holiday when his father introduced him to the sport.[4] His enthusiasm was immediate, and he soon expressed a desire to pursue shooting seriously. Recognising it as a valuable extracurricular activity, his parents supported his ambition. Sheng joined the Suzhou Sports School’s Shooting team and was later promoted to the Jiangsu provincial team.[4]

At 14, Sheng's skills earned him a place on the China national team. By 15, he was selected for the Tokyo Olympic team, where he won silver and was celebrated as the youngest athlete to win an Olympic medal in the shooting event.[5] Sheng set a new world record with a score of 637.9 points.[4]
