Kim Ji-eun secured a bronze medal in the women's 50m rifle 3 positions event.
On September 26, at the Aichi Prefectural Comprehensive Shooting Range in Japan, Kim recorded a score of 348.4 points in the finals of the women's 50m rifle 3 positions at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
Notably, Kim finished just 0.1 points behind China's Han Zaiwei, who was in second place after the sixth series. Han went on to score 359.0 points, taking first place. The gap between Kim and Zhang Liyuan of China, who was leading after the sixth series, was only 0.3 points, with Zhang finishing second at 358.8 points.
Earlier in the day, Kim dramatically secured her spot in the finals by scoring five perfect 10s in her final series. Had she scored even one shot at 9 points, she would have faced a tiebreaker with other competitors who had the same score.
