China’s Zhang Qiongyue was the latest shooter caught in the social media cross hairs as users went wild after an image showing “Hello Kitty” stickers on her rifle was posted online.
The 20-year-old follows Turkish pistol shooter Yusuf Dikec and South Korea’s Kim Ye-ji, whose contrasting demeanours made them the targets for viral content.
“A new challenger has entered the ‘bada** women with guns at the Olympics’ competition: the hello kitty shooter Zhang Ziongyue,” one user posted on X.
The like count on the comment is well over 60,000 at the time of writing.
It came alongside an image which showed a close-up of her rifle decorated with various stickers of popular Japanese cartoon character Hello Kitty as she competed in the women’s 50-metres rifle three positions.
Other users also pointed at the bright pink bolt handle on Zhang’s rifle, which netizens said bears a similarity to the parts used in arcade machines.
