I forgot the honor of the team event. All I have in my head is an individual gold medal.
The men's and women's archery achieved the first mission. Men's archery has achieved tremendous results, including three consecutive Olympics, and women's archery has achieved 10 consecutive Olympics. The next mission for the Korean archery team, with all the participants winning the gold medal, is the individual event.
Han Su-wi's skills in the team event are still there. Kim Woo-jin (Cheongju City Hall) was the first to confirm his advance to the round of 16.
In the round of 32 and round of 16, he shot a total of 18 shots and recorded 15 shots with 10 points, showing perfect performance.
The juniors took over the baton. "'Alltenman' Lee Woo-suk (Kolon) beat Italy's Alessandro Paoli 6-0 (30-28 28-26 30-28) in the men's individual archery round of 32 at the 2024 Paris Olympics held in Lejean Valid, Paris, France on the 31st (Korean time). Lee Woo-suk made it to the round of 16.
Lee Woo-suk matched 7 of the 9 shots he shot on the day to 10 points. Both the first and third sets scored 30 points perfect. The opponent also faced 28 points in the first and third sets, but it was such a perfect match.
Lee Woo-suk earlier defeated Australia's Peter Buchubalas 6-0 (29-26 28-28) in the round of 64. Lee Woo-suk showed his best performance in two games, not shooting a single shot below eight points.
'Youngest Ontop' Nam Soo-hyun (Suncheon City Hall) also won the women's individual round of 32 against Marie Horakova of the Czech Republic 7-3 (28-28 27-24 28-28 29-24).
The first set was tight. The opponent finished with 28 points, shooting two or 10 points. Nam Soo-hyun scored 28 points with 9-9-10. I found the pace from the second set. Nam Soo-hyun scored 27 points with 8-10-9 points, while his opponent was sluggish, shooting 7 points.
The third set was also tied. Nam Soo-hyun shot 28 points with 9-10-9 points. It seemed to win, but Horakova's first shot turned to nine points and tied the score. Set Score 4-2.
The fourth set was also tight. Nam Soo-hyun shot nine points in the first shot and connected the other two to 10. Horakova was also a formidable player. I shot 10-10-9 points. The last foot was on the boundary, but he swept his chest with nine points.
Last 5 sets. Horakova shook. He shot eight points in all three shots. Nam Soo-hyun maintained his rating. He won the game with 29 points, including shooting two shots at 10 points.
Nam Soo-hyun defeated Egypt's Jana Ali 5-1 (30-2329-25 28-28) in the round of 64. It was perfect from the first set. It was 10, 10, 10. The opponent was shaken, shooting six points. He only scored 23 points. He also showed his best performance in the second set. He shot 10 points in a row after 9 points. He overwhelmed his opponent with 25 points.
The third set was divided by one point each. Nam Soo-hyun shot nine, nine and 10 points. Ali's last foot was tied with nine points from eight. In the end, he concluded the match in the fourth set. He shot 10-10-9 to subdue Ali, who shot 9-9-10.
After the game, Lee Woo-suk said "I actually won the team gold medal and didn't talk to my parents on the phone." Then "I told him that I would contact him after the game because I had to focus on the game. Instead, when I go back to Korea, I will be the first to put a gold medal around my neck, so I told him not to contact me now." The same goes for Nam Soo-hyun. Nam Soo-hyun said "I didn't contact my parents when I came out of the game, so I'm going to talk on the phone for a long time after the game is over." Then "I don't do it on purpose to concentrate on the game. My parents were disappointed at first, but I think they are better now. We only congratulated each other on Kakao Talk."
The archery team does not have to worry at all about the atmosphere that could be relaxed by the team gold medal. For now, it's only a solo exhibition.
