 'Let's go to the individual competition too' The eldest sister, Jeon Hoon-young, goes to the round of 32 without difficulty



'The eldest sister' Jeon Hoon-young (Incheon City Hall) reached the round of 32 without difficulty.

Jeon Hoon-young continued her strong run toward the individual medal. Jeon Hoon-young won the women's individual archery round of 64 at the 2024 Paris Olympics, held at Lejean Valid in Paris, France, on the 2nd (27-28 28-26 28-25) by a score of 6-2 to Britain's Penny Healy. Jeon succeeded in advancing to the round of 16.

The beginning was unsettling. Jeon Hoon-young shot 9-8-10 and remained at 27 points. Healy shot 10-9-9 points. Healy won 27-28. I found the flow of the second set. He was shaken by shooting eight points in his first shot, but he later shot 10-10. 28 points. 9-9-8 overwhelmed Healy, who had 26 points.



The gap widened from the third set. Healy broke down with a seven-point shot. While Healy stayed at 25 points, Jeon shot 28 points with 9-10-9 points. In the fourth set, Jeon shot 9-10-10. 29 points. Got 25 Healy.

On the 29th, Jeon Hoon-young collaborated with Lim Si-hyun (Korea National Sports University) 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.



Jeon Hoon-young, who shoots the bow quickly, was the first runner. The quarterfinals against Taiwan did not match the score of the province. He shot only 8-8-7-8 in the first five shots. There were no more than nine points. As Jeon Hoon-young faltered, the national team also struggled. It won 6-2, but the performance was unstable. Concerns over a lack of experience in the big game seemed to become a reality.

However, Jeon has changed since the match against the Netherlands. Jeong Hoon-young, who caught 'Gam', continued his propaganda by shooting 10 points four times. led as the first runner and the oldest sister. In the desperate shoot-off, he also shot nine points to capture the momentum. The final was even more intense. He scored 10 points five times. It was a de facto 'hard carry'. And another shot-off. He also hit 10 points to perfectly take the lead as the first runner. The beginning was unsettling, but the end was perfect. The heart ceremony at the awards ceremony was also his work.
