South Korean figure skater Kim Ye-Lim was at Incheon Munhak Stadium for the SSG Landers’ home opener against the KIA Tigers.

It’s an honour to throw the first pitch at baseball games. And when guests are invited to do so, it’s their distinctive methods that create a buzz. At a recent game in South Korea, a figure skater did just this as she showcased her poise and skills on the grass.

When Kim Ye-lim threw the first pitch at the KBO League Friday, she left netizens around the world in awe as she merged her skating skills with the professional game. The 19-year-old Olympian, one of the country’s best figure skaters, didn’t just throw the ball, she acrobatically twisted and twirled on the field before making a perfect landing to throw a heater into the catcher’s mitt.

The sudden Double Axel on land at Incheon Munhak Stadium for the SSG Landers’ home opener against the KIA Tigers, took both the audience and the commentators by surprise. Soon, a video of the stunning moment spread to the other side of the world, with people in the US ruling that the best opener was not at an American game.
