In never stops being wild how strangely specific olympic events can be.

Like we have 10m air pistol, artistic swimming, breakdancing, Modern Pentathlon (show horse, fencing, fencing, freestyle swim?), 20k race walking, etc.

Then you realize how bizzare normal event are too if you think about them, like the triple jump (who is the best at a hop, skip, and a jump into sand).

Anyway good for her and it all is all hella weird and cool.

Kim Yeji set a world record of 42 in taking 25m pistol women's gold at the Baku World Cup 2024 source

Her teammate Oh Ye Jin won the gold at the Paris Olympics, https://olympics.com/en/news/paris-2024-olympics-republic-of-koreas-oh-ye-jin-wins-historic-gold-in-womens-10m-air-pistol "both surpassing the previous women's shooting 10m air pistol Olympic record of 240.3"So seems to be some fandom pushing Kim on reddit right now, instead of Oh Ye Jin who bested her at this event.
