Lim Shi-mi wins gold in women's individual archery final at Paris Olympics

On August 3, 2024, the women's individual final of archery at the Paris Olympics was held between two South Korean archers, Lin Shijian and Nam Soo hyun. The scores and rankings of Lin Shijian and Nam Soo hyun in the qualifying rounds of archery at the Paris Olympics were:
Lin is ranked first with a score of 694
Nan Xiuxian scored 688 points and ranked second

Lin Shijian was born in 2003 as a South Korean archer, ranking second in the world with a personal best of 689 points. In the 2024 qualifying tournament, Lin Shijian set Olympic and world records by shooting 694 points. Her best performance at the Archery World Championships was 8th place in the women's recurve at the Berlin Station in Germany in 2023, and her best performance at the Archery World Cup was 1st place in the second and third stages of the 2023 and first and second stages of the 2024 competition.
Nam Soo hyun was born in 2005 as a South Korean archer, ranking 61st in the world with a personal best of 670 points. His best performance in the Archery World Cup was fourth place in the first stage of 2024.

Lin Shijian defeated her compatriot Nan Xiuxian 7:3 in the women's individual archery final at the Paris Olympics to win the gold medal

Both athletes do not have much competition experience, especially Nan Xiuxian who has only participated in the Archery World Cup for one year. Let's take a look at the scoring situation of each round in this competition
Lin is facing Nan Xiuxian in the first round, with 10+9+10=29: 29=10+9+10
Lin Shijian played against Nan Xiuxian in the second round, with a score of 9+10+10=29:26=9+7+10
Lin is facing Nan Xiuxian in the third round, with 10+10+100=30: 27=10+9+8
Lin is facing Nan Xiuxian in the fourth round, with 10+9+10=29: 30=10+10+10
Lin Shijian played against Nan Xiuxian in the fifth round, with 10+8+10=28: 26=8+10+8

In this game, did Lin see or shoot at the level of his world revealing champion, but Nan Xiuxian's shooting was not very good, shooting multiple 8-point or even 7-point shots. Do you remember the game where Li Jiaman was eliminated? I haven't scored 9 points yet. Lin may have finally relaxed and shot an 8-point shot. During the men's archery final, we mentioned that the two veteran players had a particularly good adjustment of their form, which highlights the importance of competition experience for athletes. Two young athletes have achieved such good results, and we must marvel at the strong archery strength of South Korea!
