Intro for July 31, 2024
Dear Gossips,
It happens every time the Olympics come around – the Games are making everyone horny!
No matter the sport, there is someone, or multiples, to thirst over. The pool and at the beach for swimming and volleyball? It’s obvious. But also, I was watching fencing the other day all like, why are these people so f-cking hot and I can’t even see their faces?! Yesterday it was women’s rugby sevens and they are goddesses. If you haven’t already, here are the Olympic champions from New Zealand celebrating their win:
Goosebumps.

Over the last couple of days though, there is one woman who has become an unexpected obsession. And I know it’s not just in my feed because she is everywhere, super viral. Kim Yeji won the silver medal in 10m air pistol on Sunday but the internet has given her the gold medal in the sport of bad bitch, because have you ever seen a badder bitch?!


It’s that pose, gun in one hand and toy elephant on her hip. The elephant belongs to her daughter which means …the coolest person on the planet is a mom! And by the way, that’s just the photos. It’s the video from back in May when she broke the world record in 25m air pistol that is sending everyone…

I repeat, she just broke a world record there. And she could not be more unbothered. You know what she said afterwards when someone asked her if there was room for improvement?
“There is nothing to improve.”
The c-ntiest of all c-nts!
Kim Yeji is such a big deal right now, she’s made the jump from social media fame to mainstream news. TIME is all over her “aura”, GQ is calling her the Games’ “first breakout style star”, the Wall Street Journal posted about her.
The internet is in love and deep lust.

And she can serve, even when she doesn’t have a gun in her hand.

Yeji is competing again on Friday, in her world record-holding event, the 25m air pistol. What does she think of her chances?
“I am always confident,” she told local media after getting silver on Sunday. “At worst, I will try to win one gold medal.”
AT WORST, lololololololol.
Now that she’s officially a superstar Olympian, imagine how many more eyeballs will be on her on Friday?! Qualifying starts at 3am ET that morning. I am setting an alarm. I’ve never been so excited to watch someone be great at their job while looking totally bored as she’s doing it.
Yours in gossip,
Lainey
