While South Korean women’s archery beat China to achieve the 10th consecutive Olympic team event, a Chinese athlete expressed her honest feelings about the wall of Korean archery.
The Korean national team, consisting of Lim Si-hyun (Korea National Sports University), Nam Soo-hyun (Suncheon City Hall), and Jeon Hoon-young (Incheon City Hall), defeated China, which formed a team of An Chi Xuan, Lizaman, and Yang Xiaorei, 5-4 (56-53 55-54 51-54 53-59-27) in the women’s team final at the 2024 Paris Olympics held in Lejean Valid, Paris, France on the 29th (Korea Standard Time).
According to Hankyoreh, a foreign correspondent bluntly asked the Chinese team, “When do you think you can beat Korea?”
Li Jiaman (26, China) of the Chinese national team said, “I think I can probably beat Korea in the future. (This game) was too much of a burden, so it was difficult.”
China met South Korea five times in all the Olympic women’s team events. However, China, led by South Korean coach Kwon Yong-hak, failed to surpass South Korea again this time. China lost in the finals five times during Korea’s 10th consecutive losing streak.
Meanwhile, Korean women’s archery has been a champion since the 1988 Seoul Olympics, when the team event was first introduced. This is the highest number of consecutive wins in a specific event by a specific country.
When asked how long do you think Korean archery will continue to win consecutive games, Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Chung Eui-sun, who chaired the Korea Archery Association, said right after the final round of women’s team archery, “I think I will have to give it a try,” adding, “It is difficult to compete, and as you can see, archery is a game in which you can make a big difference. I expect it to become more difficult as competitors’ skills have improved.”
