South Korean Kim Ye-ji, silver medallist in the 10-metre air pistol shooting event, caught the attention of all fans with her particular look when competing.
Kim Ye-Ji the star of the Olympic Games
The new social media star, who received a flattering comment from Elon Musk, is 31 years old and caused a sensation not only for his prowess in the sport, but also for his calm demeanor and unmatched style in the shooting discipline that requires absolute concentration.
On July 28, Kim Ye-ji won the silver medal, finishing behind her roommate, South Korean Oh Ye-jin, who took the gold and also set an Olympic record.
However, what sparked a real explosion of admiration on social media was not her performance in Paris, but a video that resurfaced from a previous competition.
Footage from the International Shooting Sport Federation’s World Cup last May showed Kim breaking a world record in the 25-meter air pistol event.
Dressed in a very distinctive style: A bob-style haircut pinned under a black cap pushed back and wearing Terminator-style glasses, Kim executed her shots with lethal precision.
