Kim Woo-jin (Cheongju City Hall) and Im Si-hyeon (Korea National Sport University), who won three gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, also won domestic competitions.

Kim Woo-jin won the men’s final of the 56th National Men’s and Women’s Archery Championships held at the former Jinho International Archery Range on the 26th, defeating Han Jong-hyuk (Incheon Gyeyang-gu Office) with a set score of 6-0.

Im Si-hyun also finished the final set with a perfect match against Jeong Da-somi (Hyundai Department Store) in the women’s final, going all the way to 5 sets, winning with a set score of 7-3 and standing at the top.

Kim Woo-jin and Im Si-hyun won three gold medals each by winning the men’s and women’s individual event, mixed gender team event, and men’s and women’s team event at the Paris Olympics, which ended last month.

Their performance continued on the domestic stage as well. Only the players who showed the best performance in the 2024 season are eligible to participate, and they have dominated this competition, called the ‘King of Kings’, a domestic archery competition, showing off their presence as the best archers.

Lee Woo-seok (Kolon) and Kim Je-deok (Yecheon County Office), who won the men’s team event at the Paris Olympics with Kim Woo-jin, also continued the good trend by taking first and third place in the men’s team event and mixed team event, respectively.

In the compound, Choi Yong-hee (Hyundai Steel) and Han Seung-yeon (Korea National Sport University) won two gold medals in the competition. Choi Yong-hee won the men’s individual and team events, and Han Seung-yeon won the women’s team and mixed team events.

With this competition, all 2024 archery competitions hosted by the Korea Archery Association have been completed.

Starting on the 27th, the first selection competition for the 2025 national archery team will be held to select the 2025 national archery team. Starting with this, the national team will be selected through a total of five selection and evaluation matches until April next year. They will participate in major international competitions, including the 2025 World Archery Championships to be held in Gwangju in September.
