Kim Yeji has taken the 2024 Paris Olympics shooting events by storm, displaying not just her exceptional skills but her striking aura. She has been a standout athlete in the shooting events, captivating the spectators' attention with her shooting gear, mixed with advanced aesthetics.

Along with her silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics in the women's 10m air pistol, fans are buzzing over her sleek look, featuring the striking gear with advanced shooting glasses, that help the shooters with precision, a baseball cap, mostly worn backward with the ponytail trailing through the bill and baggy tracksuit with sauer pistol shooting shoes.

While Yeji is sporting cutting-edge technical gear, Turkish pistol shooter Yusuf Dikec is seen competing with the most basic equipment, ditching the specialized gear like the glasses, cap, and earplugs. The contrast in look between the shooters has sparked a flurry of memes online as one of the users wrote,

"Somehow the coolest looks are Blade Runner levels of aesthetic (for Kim Yeji)"
"Just woke up good morning (Yusuf Dikec)."

A fan drew the similarity between the 51-year-Turkish shooter and Daniel Radcliffe's meme (holding guns in a bathrobe and slippers) and wrote,

"The second one is giving this."

Drawing a difference between the two, another fan wrote,

"Girls packing for a trip vs guys packing for a trip."

A user shared photos from multiple shooting events with a caption that read,

"I'm Gonna tell my kids these were the Avengers."

Here is one more meme featuring the difference between Yeji and Dikec:

Kim Yeji holds the world record in the women's 25m pistol event

Kim Yeji displayed her stunning proficiency during the 2024 ISSF World Cup, held in Baku, Azerbaijan, in May 2024. The 31-year-old Korean shooter registered the world record in the women's 25m pistol event.

It was at this event that Yeji made headlines by setting a new world record with 42 points, all while appearing effortlessly calm featuring her signature style with hair down with a backward cap and glasses.

At the 2024 Paris Olympics, when Yeji grabbed a silver medal with 241.3 points after finishing behind fellow teammate Oh Ye Jin, who scored 243.2 points, the sensational shooter was seen carrying an elephant plush toy tied to her handkerchief on her waist, which was gifted to her from her five-year-old daughter.

Yeji will be next seen competing in the 25m pistol women's qualification round on August 2, 2024, at 9:00, according to local time.
