Korean women’s archery team achieves seventh consecutive championship

The South Korean women's team won the team championship at the London Olympics, winning their seventh consecutive Olympic title.

The South Korean women's archery team, composed of Lee Seung-jin, Choi Hyun-joo and Ki Bo-bae, defeated the Chinese team in the final held on July 29, London time, and won the gold medal.

Since the 1988 Seoul Olympics made archery team competition an official event, the Korean women's team has never won a gold medal. As an archery power, among the 68 gold medals won by the Korean delegation in the Olympic Games, 16 came from archery, accounting for 23.5% of the total gold medals.

The secret of South Korea’s undefeated archery has always been a topic of concern to various countries.

The first is that the coaching staff has accumulated rich experience through continuous research, and the second is scientific training methods, which need to be accumulated over a long period of time. In addition, the human and financial support of the Korean Archery Association cannot be ignored - Hyundai Motor Group is its solid backing, and it has invested approximately RMB 70 million in the Archery Association. It should be noted that the key secret of Korean archery is to maintain a "normal mind". The training of the South Korean team is almost rigorous. During archery, the coach will put a snake in the players' clothes. The purpose is to train the players' ability to resist spectators and other interference factors. The coach even sacrificed himself to practice, tearing off the parts other than the 9 rings and 10 rings on the target, and stood by the target to watch the players shoot. In this kind of training, every Korean athlete has developed a strong psychological quality, calmness, tenacity, and peace of mind. At the same time, the archery team uses military training and night walks through cemeteries to help team members focus and maintain a sense of calm. The weather conditions in the women's archery team competition of the London Olympics were very bad, but every Korean team member performed at a high level.

Starting from July 30, local time, the London Olympics will begin the individual archery competition. South Korea's female archers are determined to regain the individual gold medal they lost at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
