South Korea shooter Ye-ji treated in hospital after fainting


SOUTH Korean pistol shooter Kim Ye-ji (pic), who gained global fame for her confidence and style during the Paris Olympics, was taken to a hospital after fainting during a press conference, officials said yesterday.

The 31-year-old won silver in the women’s 10m air pistol event in Paris last week, and her ultra-calm demeanour, combined with her wire-rimmed shooting glasses and baseball cap, made her a worldwide online sensation – drawing praise from celebrities such as X owner Elon Musk.
