Three Musketeers competing for the first time in the Olympics aim for '10 consecutive wins in women's archery team competition'

Korea 's three finalists confirmed for the national team , Im Si-hyeon, who has always been a gold medalist since the introduction of the sport in 1988 , challenges for three gold medals. Jeon Hoon-young joins the first Olympics at the late age of 30. Nam Soo-hyun, who graduated from high school this year, joins the last train.

‘Morning Star’ Im Si-hyun (21, Korea National Sport University) will lead the Korean women’s archery team team to its 10th consecutive victory at the Paris Olympics, which opens in July.

Im Si-hyeon took first place in the women's division with a total of 17.6 points in the final evaluation match for the national archery team, which ended at the Jinho International Archery Range in Yecheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do on the 11th. Korean women's archery has reached the top nine times in a row, from the 1988 Seoul Games, when the team competition was first introduced in the Olympics, to the 2021 Tokyo Games.

Im Si-hyun won three gold medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, emerging as an athlete who continues the lineage of Korean women's archery 'Xingung'. Im Si-hyeon, who had not been able to achieve remarkable results until her high school years, entered Korea National University of Physical Education and received guidance from Professor Kim Jin-ho, the 'original Shingung', and her performance improved noticeably. 토토사이트 순위

Im Si-hyeon has been active as the ace of Korean women's archery since last year. In May last year, her international debut, she won the individual gold medal at the second round of the World Cup in Shanghai, China. She then competed in the third round of the World Cup in Medellín, Colombia, where she placed first in the individual event. Im Si-hyun showed off her overwhelming skills in three national team trials and two warm-up matches, earning her first place and earning a ticket to the Olympics. Im Si-hyun, who competes in the individual, team, and mixed events, aims to win three Olympic gold medals.

Along with Im Si-hyun, Jeon Hoon-young (30, Incheon City Hall) and Nam Su-hyeon (19, Suncheon City Hall), who were unknowns, won the women's archery qualification for the Paris Olympics. Jeon Hoon-young, who had never competed in the Asian Games as well as the Olympics, finished second (total score of 12) and made her Olympic debut. Nam Soo-hyun, who graduated from high school this year, competed fiercely until the last minute, and ended up in third place (10 points), earning her a ticket to the last Olympic member.

As the saying goes, ‘It is more difficult for Korean archers to be selected as a national team member than to win a gold medal at the Olympics,’ all three members of the previous Tokyo Olympics were eliminated from the women’s national team. Ansan, the first in Korean archery history to win three Olympic gold medals, was also eliminated. Im Si-hyun, who has the most experience in international competitions among the three players who will compete in the Paris Olympics, said, “Starting today, we will start working together to target the team event. If we work hard enough to select players with good skills, it is quite possible to win 10 consecutive Olympics.” . Professor Ki Bo-bae of Gwangju Women's University, a gold medalist in the women's team event at the 2012 London Olympics and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, said, "Our players know better than anyone else the importance of one shot because they go through fierce national team selection competitions," and "the burden of losing 10 games in a row is not enough." “But if we trust and communicate with each other, we will be able to win a gold medal,” he said. 슬롯사이트

In the men's division, Kim Woo-jin (32, Cheongju City Hall), Lee Woo-seok (27, Kolon), and Kim Je-deok (20, Yecheon County Office), who together won the gold medal in the team event at the Hangzhou Asian Games, took first to third places and will advance to the Paris Olympics. Kim Woo-jin, who won team gold medals in the last two Olympics, expressed his determination, saying, “I want to stand on the highest podium with an individual gold medal at the third Paris Olympics.” Oh Jin-hyuk (41, Hyundai Steel), the eldest member of the men's archery team, failed to advance to the Olympics by placing 8th. Oh Jin-hyuk, a double gold medalist at the 2012 London Olympics and a gold medalist in the team event at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, said, “I think today will be my last time shooting archery as a member of the national team. He said, “It’s a shame that he shot 9 points instead of 10 with his last arrow.” Hong Seung-jin, the general manager of the national archery team, said, “We have a lot to achieve, including 10 consecutive wins in the women’s team event and 3 consecutive wins in the men’s team event,” and added, “We will prepare well and win all five gold medals in archery.”  안전 토토사이트
