"Because of the big event...."

'Chic Sniper' is done. Kim Ye-ji (Imsil County Office) finished the first Olympics coolly from elimination in the main event.

Kim Ye-ji scored a total of 575 points in the 25m pistol finals at the 2024 Paris Olympics held at the Chatoru Shooting Center in Paris, France on the 2nd (Korea time). Kim Ye-ji was not among the top eight who were given the final ticket.

Kim Ye-ji rose to stardom by winning a silver medal in the women's 10-meter air pistol. The video of the last Baku World Cup drew a lot of attention on SNS. The video has well over 46 million views. He received a lot of attention for showing off his cool-headed female warrior-like appearance and unexpected charm of wearing an elephant doll. Even Tesla CEO Elon Musk 'It would be cool if the shooting world champion appeared in an action movie. You have to cast Kim Ye-ji in an action movie. I don't need any postponement either,' he posted. CNN and the official Olympic account also mentioned Kim Ye-ji.

Much attention was paid to Kim Ye-ji's 25m pistol, her main event. Kim Ye-ji set a new world record for this event at the Baku World Cup. As he boasted of his best condition, he seemed close to his second medal of this tournament. Ahead of the game, Kim Ye-ji said, `I can't believe this happened to me, it's a great honor. I have a game on the 2nd and 3rd, so will you come to see it?' he replied to Musk.

The finals are largely divided into 30 complete shots and 30 sudden shots. First of all, a series of five shots within five minutes will be played in a total of six series. The sudden death proceeds in such a way that the target only appears for three seconds, disappears, and then reappears seven seconds later. Players must fire within three seconds of the target appearing and wait for seven seconds before firing again for three seconds. Both the completion and the sudden completion of the finals shoot 30 shots, a total of 60 shots, and 10 points per shot, so the perfect score is 600 points. Eight athletes from the finals will advance to the final and compete in the medal match.

Kim Ye-ji got off to a good start with a total of 290 points. It was expected to change the trend in the long-term sudden death. But he made a fatal mistake. He shot 0 in his 41st shot. Of the 30 sudden shots, 28 remained high with 10 points and 1 shot with 9 points, but it was a fatal blow that only one shot had 0 points. An official from the Korea Shooting Federation said "A sudden death should be fired within three seconds, but Kim Ye-ji missed the timing and was dealt with zero points."

It was a very disappointing shot, but Kim Ye-ji did not bow. Kim Ye-ji thanked the people, saying, `I think your disappointment must have been great because you gave 'Big Event'(0 points)." Then "Now I'm thinking of preparing for the LA Olympics again. I will work harder and not disappoint you then"I promised. Kim Ye-ji's career is just beginning.
