Jeon previously won 6-2 (27-28-28-26 28-25) in the round of 64 against Penny Healy of England. 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.

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 was 'scene stealer' in the team event. 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 semifinal 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.
Jeon Hoon-young, who has emerged as the main player in the team event, is taking a step closer to winning a medal in the individual event.
