Lim Si-hyeon stood in front of the target holding the scoreboard showing the world record 694 points she set in the women’s archery ranking round at the Paris Olympics on the 25th.

Lim Si-hyeon (21), the ‘ace’ of women’s archery, set a world record in the first match of the Korean team at the Paris Olympics, sending a good vibe to the Taegeuk warriors. The Korean women’s archery team, consisting of Lim Si-hyeon, Nam Su-hyeon (19), and Jeon Hoon-young (30), also set an Olympic record and made a smooth start toward their 10th consecutive win in the team event.

Lim Si-hyeon ranked first out of 64 participants with a world record of 694 points in the Paris Olympic women’s archery ranking round held at the Invalides Stadium in Paris on the 25th. The previous record was 692 points set by Kang Chae-young at the 2019 World Championships in the Netherlands. Nam Su-hyeon, the youngest member of the women’s team, came in second with 688 points, and Jeon Hoon-young came in 13th with 664 points. Nam Su-hyeon broke the previous Olympic record by 8 points. Lim Si-hyeon, who came in first in the ranking round, will face Alondra Rivera (Puerto Rico), ranked last in the first round of the individual tournament.

In the ranking round held before the opening ceremony of the competition held at 2:30 AM on the 27th, Korean women’s archery once again showed their world-class performance. The fact that none of the three athletes had any Olympic experience was pointed out as a weakness, but they got off to a good start in the ranking round. The combined score of the three athletes (2046 points) was also an Olympic record, and Korea received the first seed in the team event.

On this day, Im Si-hyeon once again showed that she is the successor to the ‘new archery’ lineage of Korean women’s archery. In the ranking round where she shot a total of 72 arrows, Im Si-hyeon hit 48 of them on the 10-point target. She also hit the X-10, the center of the 6.1cm diameter target, with 21 arrows. Im Si-hyeon shot 635 points by the 11th end. To set the world record, she needed to add 58 points on the last 6 shots. Despite the tension, Im Si-hyeon easily surpassed the previous record by shooting 5 10-pointers and 1 9-pointer.

When Im Si-hyeon’s last 72nd arrow hit the 9-pointer, not only the Korean team but also the Dutch, Indonesian, and Mexican players nearby applauded and congratulated her on her world record. When the announcer in the stadium confirmed the final score and shouted, “New World Record,” all the players in the stadium applauded and cheered.

Among the three Korean athletes, Im Si-hyeon, who ranked highest, also qualified for the mixed event at this competition, so she can aim for the triple crown. At the 2021 Tokyo Games, where the mixed event was first introduced, Ansan won the first triple crown in Olympic archery history. Im Si-hyeon, who won three gold medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, said, “I am grateful for this great opportunity. (Triple crown) I will do my best in the remaining games to seize this opportunity.” He also said, “I was very nervous because it was my first Olympics. I prepared as best I could, so I went into the game with the mindset of ‘let’s have some fun.’” He added, “This is just the beginning. I will prepare to do better in the remaining games. I will challenge for the 10th consecutive team event with pride rather than burden.” The Korean women’s archery team achieved nine consecutive wins from the 1988 Seoul Games, when the team event was introduced to the Olympics, to the 2021 Tokyo Games.

Nam Su-hyeon said, “My sisters were shooting so well next to me, so I thought I should not cause any trouble. “It’s an honor to set an Olympic record with my sisters,” she said. Jeon Hun-young also said, “I took it easy in the ranking rounds, just like I’ve been practicing. I’ll focus more in the team event and get good results.”

The women’s team event will be held on the 28th due to the opening ceremony break. The team event finals are scheduled for 00:11 on the 29th. The Invalides Stadium has the largest audience capacity ever, with 8,000 seats. Hong Seung-jin, head coach of the national archery team, said, “Our athletes are in peak condition right now. The more spectators there are and the louder the cheers, the better.” He added, “If we keep shooting like we are now, both the men and women will be able to take home gold medals without a problem.” 카지노사이트
