Shooter aiming for more than gold

While most Paralympians have their minds focused solely on winning medals, markswoman Kim Im-yeon from South Korea is also busy trying to woo voters in her campaign for election to the Athletes' Committee of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC).

"I work from morning till night, trying to meet as many people as possible," she told China Daily through an interpreter on Tuesday, after winning silver in the R8-50m sport rifle 3x20-SH1 event.

"Sometimes I don't even get time to eat," the 41-year-old said.
