"I'll empty my head, and I'll play with my heart hot."
This is the story of Kim Woo-jin (32, Cheongju City Hall), who is trying to win three gold medals in archery at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Kim Woo-jin shot 686 points to rank No. 1 in the men's archery round at the Paris Olympics, which took place in Paris, France on July 25. In addition to the men's individual and team events, Kim will also compete in mixed team events.
Kim Woo-jin is the world's best athlete. He has won 14 gold medals in international competitions including the World Championship (nine), the Olympics (two), and the Asian Games (three).
The only thing Kim Woo-jin couldn't put on his neck is the individual Olympic event. Both of Kim Woo-jin's gold medals in the Olympics came from team events.
According to Yonhap News, after the ranking round, Kim Woo-jin said, "If you have a lot of greed, you get things wrong. This time, I'm going to empty my head and play a little hot in my heart."
Kim Woo-jin showed sluggish performance at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year. He had the worst performance in the ranking round among the four men's national teams. Kim couldn't afford to compete in men's team and mixed events as well as individual events.
Kim Woo-jin said, "I will try to do better in Hangzhou and produce good results in the Olympics."
Korea ranked No. 1 as Kim Woo-jin, Lee Woo-suk, and Kim Je-deok performed their part. Korea skipped the first round in the team event and will play in the quarterfin
