"Healthcare personnel have informed us that she did not need care for serious injuries," says a spokesperson for Imsil in a statement.

According to the shooter's coach, Kim Ye-Ji has felt a gradual increasing fatigue related to a hectic schedule during the Olympic Games.

When Kim Ye-Ji took Olympic silver a couple of weeks ago, she made headlines for her calm and easy-going style, among other things, wearing a baseball cap.

The attention around her has increased since an old clip of the South Korean woman got spread on social media after editing and soundtracking with Korean pop music, so-called K-pop. Among others, entrepreneur and X-owner Elon Musk has praised Kim.
