In April this year, she became the only South Korean shooter to qualify in two events for the Paris Olympics – 10-meter air pistol and 25-meter pistol – after finishing second in both events in the Korean national trials.
Kim finished with 241.3 points, falling 1.9 points short of Oh, but she remembers it as “a very happy moment.
Since Kim took up shooting, South Korea has seen several heroes in the sport, such as Jin Jong-oh, who won four golds and two silvers across five Olympics, and Kim Jang-mi, who won a gold at the 2012 London Olympics.
At the Paris Olympics, South Korea won the most shooting medals at the Games in the country’s history with three golds and three silvers.
“Just wait, mommy will win the gold,” Kim promised.
