Viral Olympic medalist fainted – taken to hospital

South Korean shooter Kim Ye-Ji, who went viral during the Olympic Games after her silver in 10 meter pistol, fainted at a press conference in her hometown Imsil and was then taken to hospital in Jeonju, about three miles away. The 31-year-old is said to have recovered afterwards.

"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.
