‘Ace' who appeared like a comet last year and won three gold medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games Challenges Paris with more mature skills Leading the way in women’s team event with 10 consecutive wins
Im Si-hyeon aims for gold medal
Lim Si-hyeon (21, Korea National Sport University) is an athlete who appeared like a comet last year and immediately rose to become the ‘ace' of Korean women's archery.
Lim Si-Hyeon began to make a name for himself at the final national team selection in April of last year.
In the final stage to select the four players to compete in the Hangzhou Asian Games, he proudly took first place and wore the Taegeuk mark, beating out strong seniors such as Ansan (Gwangju Bank), who won three gold medals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
He continued his dazzling performance on the international stage, winning individual championships in the 2nd World Cup held in Shanghai, China and the 3rd World Cup held in Medellin, Colombia last year.
She also won a gold medal with her sisters in the team event, becoming the two-time champion in two consecutive competitions.
Im Si-Hyeon's rise showed no signs of ending.
At the 2023 Berlin World Championships held in August, amidst the overall poor performance of the national team, Im Si-hyeon shared ‘hope' by collaborating with Kim Woo-jin (Cheongju City Hall) to win the gold medal in the mixed team event.
Then, at the Hangzhou Asian Games in September, she swept gold medals in the women's individual, team, and mixed events, becoming a triple crown winner.
It was the first time in 37 years that an archery triple crown winner was born at the Asian Games.
It is not uncommon for athletes who achieved great success at a young age to lose their sense of purpose and fall into a slump. However, Im Si-Hyeon is an exception.
Lim Si-Hyeon also took first place in this year's final selection to select the national team for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
He then won the individual event in the first (Shanghai) and second (Yecheon) World Cup tournaments. 카지노사이트
Jang Young-sul, vice president of the Korea Archery Association, said, “Im Si-hyeon seems to have matured more after winning the triple crown in Hangzhou. As efforts are rewarded, his confidence rises, and he works harder without wavering, creating a ‘virtuous cycle.'”
It's not like there were no crises. At the 3rd World Cup competition held in Antalya, Turkey last month as a ‘preliminary match for the Olympics,' Im Si-Hyeon suffered the bitter defeat of being eliminated in the individual event after only two matches.
In the round of 32, she was defeated by Arianna Mohammad (Malaysia) 0-6 (29-30 27-28-27-28).
He lost the first set by a narrow margin of 1 point, and he also lost the second set by hitting 9 points in a row by about 1mm.
Im Si-hyeon, shaken by this, eventually experienced the humiliation of defeat.
Although he missed out on winning the individual event, Im Si-hyeon shook off his disappointment by winning the gold medal in the team event that followed along with Jeon Hoon-young (Incheon City Hall) and Nam Su-hyeon (Suncheon City Hall).
Vice Chairman Jang said, “The experience of not being able to show 100% of his skills and losing in the individual event of the 3rd World Cup will be a great source of nourishment for the Olympic stage,” and “Im Si-Hyeon is still calm. He is taking the initiative and preparing well for Paris on his own.”
As the lack of experience in international competitions is cited as a weakness of the women's national team, Im Si-Hyeon's presence is felt even more significantly. 토토사이트 순위
