"shot more viciously"
Olympic archery triple crown winner, second after Ansan “I concentrated more because it was unfair to prepare” 19-year-old Nam Su-hyeon, who also advanced to the finals, won a silver medal
The Paris Olympic Organizing Committee posted an image of the Im Si-hyun statue on its official Instagram account after the finals of the women's individual archery event on the 3rd. The organizing committee also wrote in Korean, "Congratulations."
Lim Si-hyeon (21), who won three gold medals in archery at the Paris Olympics, performed a champion ceremony on the podium that no one expected. She curled her left thumb and index finger together and raised the remaining three fingers to make an ‘OK’ sign. Then, she lightly placed her left eye on it, which was a cute ceremony.
Most people who saw this on site thought it was a ceremony referring to winning three gold medals. This was because the three straight fingers stood out. However, Lim Si-hyeon’s explanation when she met the press at the mixed zone (joint press area) was different. He said, “I won three gold medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year. However, it was not very likely that I would win three gold medals in a row at the Paris Olympics,” and said with a smile, “That’s why I prepared this ceremony to convey the meaning of ‘passing through the eye of the needle.’” For Lim Si-
hyeon, who emerged as the ace of Korean women’s archery last year, the Paris Olympics were a series of ‘passing through the eye of the needle.’ First, he passed the Korean national archery team selection, which is so difficult that there is a metaphor that it is 'more difficult than a camel passing through the eye of a needle', in first place. He never lost first place in five competitions, including three selections and two evaluations. When he was preparing for the entrance exam with the goal of going to a sports high school, Im Si-hyeon was an athlete who had to take a separate on-site practical test because he did not have a single medal from a national competition.
At the Paris Olympics, she set a world record with 694 points in the women's ranking round on the 25th of last month, taking first place out of 64 players. Four days later, on the 29th of last month, she teamed up with Jeon Hoon-young (30) and Nam Su-hyun (19) to compete in the women's team event, achieving her 10th consecutive Olympic win. She also won a gold medal in the mixed event with Kim Woo-jin (32), a member of the men's national team, on the 2nd. Finally, in the individual final held at the Invalides Stadium in Paris on the 3rd, she defeated her teammate Nam Su-hyun with a set score of 7-3 (29-29, 29-26, 30-27, 29-30, 28-26), winning her third gold medal of the tournament.
Im Si-hyun showed concentration by shooting 10 points at critical moments and crucial moments in the team, mixed, and individual events of this tournament. He said that 'the feeling of injustice' was the secret. Lim Si-hyeon said, “I prepared so hard, so wouldn’t it be a shame if it ended so quickly? That’s why I think I shoot more tenaciously,” and “Because I’ve prepared so much, I can confidently shoot even in difficult situations.” Professor Kim Dong-guk, who coaches Lim Si-hyeon at the Korea National Sport University, described Lim Si-hyeon as a “calm 10-point shooter.” He refers to an athlete who can shoot 10 points without losing composure even when the tension is at its peak. Not
only Lim Si-hyeon, but also the Korean national archery team shoots 400 to 500 arrows a day as a basic rule. When they don’t like the training content, they shoot up to 600 arrows a day. Yang Chang-hoon, the coach of the women’s national archery team, said, “When I go out in the evening after training, there are many times when the athletes are shooting arrows even though I didn’t ask them to,” and “I’ve told the athletes to ‘rest a bit,’ but I’ve never told them to ‘do more. ’”
Im Si-hyeon chose Kim Woo-jin, with whom he competed in the mixed competition, as his 'role model' and said, "I want to become a player like Woo-jin oppa." He said, "I think Woo-jin oppa's strength is consistency. I wondered how many players can be consistent in that (world-class) position." He added, "I will continue to watch from the side and learn a lot." After finishing all of his schedules for the Paris Olympics, Im Si-hyeon's first words when meeting people he was comfortable with were, "I want to get some good sleep now. I really want to get some rest." 안전놀이터
