Previously, BTS’s Jin was featured as one of the torchbearers for the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
BTS’s impact has continued to be seen in the Olympics, as some of the world’s best athletes are also ARMYs.
One of these skilled ARMYs is Elisa Iorio, a 21-year-old Italian artistic gymnast. She previously won the bronze medal at the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart and won gold and bronze at the 2018 European Junior Championships. Currently, she is part of the Italian National Team and is competing in the summer Olympics alongside Alice D’Amato, Andreoli, Esposito, and Giorgia Villa.
