Before the game, caster Lee Jae-hoo said, "I hope it ends with 9 shots."I held my breath, but in the end, the shoot-off match was as good as the gold medal match. Commissioner Ki Bo-bae "You have to show great concentration at this moment. Don't think about the result, but put everything into it with everything." he prayed to Kim Woo-jin.
In the beginning, Kim Woo-jin also shot eight points under the influence of the wind. In response, Commissioner Ki Bo-bae "It took a while. I'll take a short time," he said, stressing that he should not hesitate. When Kim Woo-jin shot 9.9, which was close to 10 points in the third set, he said, "When you are not sure about your skills, you get 9.9. Although Kim Woo-jin is the best in technology, you should have more confidence."
On this day as well, Kim Woo-jin's 'steel heart' and 'training-trained heart rate' drew attention. Kim Woo-jin, who maintained a stable heart rate of 80s throughout the game, shot his first shot with a heart rate of 85 in the last five sets and hit 10 points, and both of the other shots were also 10 points. The opponent, Ellison, was also a `Veteran' who had been through a lot of prenatal warfare, but his heart rate exceeded 100 to reveal the tension. However, Ellison also succeeded in 10 points and three consecutive hits in the last five sets, entering the shoot-off with Kim Woo-jin.
Commissioner Ki Bo-bae lamented "How can this be?" and caster Lee Jae-hoo lamented "It's a great game." It's like a gold medal match. "What do you want to hear at this moment?" asked. In response, Commissioner Ki Bo-bae "Do as you please...As you have practiced, you only need to trust yourself and control your mind well. The shoot-off is decided by just one shot," he replied. In the shoot-off, two players shoot an arrow and the side close to the center wins.
