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. Just a year later, Sheng's natural ability was evident as he joined the Suzhou Sports School’s Shooting team. His exceptional performance led to a swift promotion 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 impressively secured a silver medal and was celebrated as the youngest athlete to win an Olympic medal in the shooting event.,[5] Sheng continued to break barriers by setting a new world record with a score of 637.9 points, showcasing his unparalleled stability and consistent performance—a feat that even his coach found difficult to explain.[4]
