On the 2nd (Korea time), Im Si-hyun won 6-0 (26-2328-18 29-24) over Alondra Rivera of Puerto Rico in the women's individual round of 64 archery at the 2024 Paris Olympics held at the Lejean Valid Stadium in Paris, France. Im Si-hyun made it to the round of 32.
In the first set, the game was decided on the first foot. Rivera broke down with a six-run shot. Lim Si-hyun also scored eight points, but there was no problem with the trend. 26-23. The second set was the same. Rivera kept his first two shots at five or six points. Lim Si-hyun also seemed to be shaking by shooting eight points, but he changed the mood by shooting the first 10 points. Again, 10 points. overwhelmed 28-18.
Rivera shot the first shot with 10 points in the third set, but it collapsed again when he shot five points. Shim finished the victory with 9-10-10 points and 29 points.
On the 29th, Shim Ji-hyun collaborated with Jeon Hoon-young (Incheon City Hall) and Nam Soo-hyun (Suncheon City Hall) in the women's team event. 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, his primary goal, is now aiming for 'three gold medals'. Shim is the strongest favorite in the individual competition. There is no enemy as long as he shows his ability. In both the first and second World Cups, he won the individual title.
Lim Si-hyun will compete in a mixed match with Kim Woo-jin, who is 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.
Lim won three gold medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year. She won gold medals in individual, team, and mixed events. It was the first time in 37 years that a three-time archery champion was born at the Asian Games. He is aiming for three gold medals at the Olympics. I had the opportunity to make an unprecedented accomplishment of sweeping gold medals in two consecutive international competitions. The first step was successfully taken off.
