Kim Cheong-yong (Korean: 김 청용; born January 1, 1997 in Uiwang, Gyeonggi-do) is a South Korean sport shooter. He won a silver medal in boys' 10 m air pistol shooting at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China, and eventually claimed a gold medal to a thunderous applause from the home crowd when South Korea hosted the Asian Games a month later. Kim is a member of the shooting club at Heung-deok High School in Uiwang under his personal coach Kim Seun-il.
Kim first came to a worldwide attention as a 17-year-old at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China, where he fired a score of 201.2 to take the silver medal in the boys' 10 m air pistol, falling short to Ukraine's Pavlo Korostylov by a stalwart 3.6-point margin.
When his nation South Korea hosted the Asian Games one month later, Kim beat a star-studded field in the final, including his personal hero and the reigning World and Olympic champion Jin Jong-oh, to claim the gold medal on his senior debut in air pistol shooting, finishing with an astonishing record of 201.2.
