Game of Pretend

Not all news from last night garnered mixed reactions. A video footage of the sixteen-year-old athlete and current youngest member of the national shooting team, Ren Jiyu, became viral. It was when Iris Long was performing "Monster of Insanity" with Pandemonium at the gala. 

Ren Jiyu was caught whipping out a slipper from out of nowhere and waving it around before quickly hiding it from his coaches. Another video footage showed him asking Iris Long to sign the slipper with a shy expression.

The Black Stars, especially the Slippers Army, were ecstatic to find that such an impressive youth and world-class athlete was actually one of them.

His actions endeared him to the masses, not only to Iris Long's fans. As a matter of fact, his action of waving a slipper from out of nowhere became a trending meme.
