Soo-Ji finished 12th in the individual all-around at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 — the best finish by any Korean rhythmic gymnast in history.
The pitch caused a stir online, where commenters cheered the gymnast's abilities.
"Talk about pitching from the stretch!" one person wrote on the Huffington Post's website.
"Now THAT was cool," another posted.
Twitter users were also amazed at Soo-ji's flexible feat.
