It was the next goal of "Super-Ace" Lim Si-hyun (Korea National Sport University). On the 3rd (Korea time), Lim won the women's individual archery final at the 2024 Paris Olympics in Anvalid, Paris, France, 7-3 (29-29 29-26 30-27 30-29 28-26). Shim also won a gold medal in the individual event. Having won gold medals in the individual, mixed, and team events, Shim successfully won three Olympic gold medals. Lim won three gold medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year. It was the first time in 37 years that a three-time archery champion was born at the Asian Games. Im has made an unprecedented accomplishment of sweeping gold medals for two consecutive international competitions. Korean archery is in the interim era.
Earlier in the round of 64, Shim took his first step in the individual competition with a 6-0 (26-2328-1829-24) complete victory over Puerto Rico's Alondra Rivera. In the next round of 32, he also secured a 6-0 victory over Indonesia's Reza Octavia (28-27 27-26 29-27). He continued his momentum in the round of 16. 7-1 (28-28, 27-26, 27-21, 28-26) against Meghan Havers of England. In the quarterfinals, he wrote a drama that turned the tables. 6-4 (30-30 27-27-28 29-26) win over Alejandro Valencia of Mexico. Nam Soo-hyun defeated Egypt's Jana Ali 5-1 (30-2329-25 28-28) in the round of 64. In the following round of 32, he won the Czech Republic's Marier Horakova 7-3 (28-28 27-24 28-28 29-24). In the round of 16 against Amaistroye Madarina of Romania, he won 6-2 (28-24, 27-29, 28-27, 29-28). In the quarterfinals, India's Deepika Kumari came from behind to reach the semifinals with a 6-4 (26-28 28-25 28-29-27 29-27).

In the third set, Im Ji-hyun shot a perfect 30 points. They were all 10-10-10. It overwhelmed Nam Soo-hyun, who shot 27 points. However, Nam Soo-hyun was also not easy. Nam shot 10-10-10 in the fourth set, overwhelming Nam with 29 points. The game was decided in the fifth set. He won the gold medal with a 28-26 victory.
Im Si-hyun has won three gold medals. He collaborated with Jeon Hoon-young and Nam Soo-hyun for the gold medal in the women's team event on the 29th. Starting with the 1988 Seoul Games, Korean women's archery has achieved a 10-game winning streak until this year.
Lim Si-hyun, who won the team gold medal, the first goal, also won the gold medal in the ensuing mixed event. Lim Si-hyun competed in the mixed game with Kim Woo-jin, who was ranked No. 1 in the men's ranking round as well. South Korean archery has traditionally granted the best performing male and female archers in the ranking rounds of major international competitions to compete in the mixed event. Both are undoubtedly the best archers in the world. I've already worked with him. Shim Ji-hyun and Kim Woo-jin played as a group in the first and second World Cups this year. He also won the first World Cup.
He also won the gold medal in the mixed event with his overwhelming performance. He dominated the remaining solo exhibition.

Lim faced Jeon Hoon-hyun in the semifinals and Nam Soo-hyun in the final. He said "One can definitely go up, so I think both of them were able to meet Korean players, so I was able to focus on the process"When I met Su-hyun in the final, they both won medals anyway, so I thought I could have fun, so I punched her and went in."
Lim Si-hyun showed his true value in every match. He seems to have been lucky. I also worked hard, so I believed in what I prepared, so I did it " He said "I think it's the result of shooting harder because I thought it would be too bad if I prepared hard like this, but if it's over..."
Following the Asian Games, Im Si-hyun also won three gold medals in the Olympics. That's what the ceremony meant. "Someone said it's an easy chance to win three Olympic gold medals right after winning three Asian Games. So I posed like that in the sense that I passed through the needle hole. " Following the Asian Games, veteran sisters fell out of the Olympics and became aces. I felt a sense of weight. So I think he was trying to focus on the process rather than the result."
"I want to sleep."I will enjoy the present without thinking about four years later for now, " said Sim Ji-hyun. " He unveiled a new goal. "It could take a little long, but I want to be a player like Woo-jin," Lim said. I think Woo-jin's strength is his consistency, and I wonder how many players can be that consistent in that position. I will try to learn a lot from the side in the future."
