I was truly happy with the news of Lee Woo-suk's bronze medal. Immediately after the shoot-off, I felt the gold medal.
Kim Woo-jin won the gold medal with a 6-5 victory over Brady Ellison (36) after a shot-off in the men's archery final at the Paris Olympics held in Anvalidde, Paris on the 4th (Korea time).
a three-time winner of a competition. It was the absolute ace of the world's strongest Korean archery.
But he said, `I was glad that Lee Woo-suk won the bronze medal. I reached the final after a fierce battle with Lee Woo-seok in the semifinals, and I felt less sorry because I reached the final and won the gold medal."
He also felt the gold medal right after the shoot-off. The arrow I shot was inside the 10-point line, and the arrow my opponent shot was outside the 10-point line. Therefore, he hugged the director and was happy.
Kim Woo-jin is now entering the ranks of legends. She has already won the gold medal in the team event at the Tokyo Olympics. She won three gold medals in this Olympics.
However, he is very happy to have the most medals in men's archery. There are no retirement plans yet. I will only enjoy today's medal, and from tomorrow, I will bury it in the past and move toward a new goal."
He didn't forget to praise his opponent, Ellison.
He shot a perfect 30 in five sets, and Ellison shot the same. Originally, he was a world-famous player and always a difficult opponent, but it was a moment I felt once again."
He plays in glasses. There were also rumors that astigmatism was severe, and that my eyesight had recently become poor.
He "I tend to have a bit of raw astigmatism. You have to wear glasses to shoot an arrow. Although there are restrictions, the weather was fine at this Paris Games, and there were no problems.'
He is very steady. The spirit is very strong.
Kim Woo-jin said "Winning a gold medal at the Olympics doesn't change the sport. It doesn't change that I do archery. I think it's the most important thing in consistency to keep moving forward toward the original goal on your own without being affected by the medal winning part.
