In her first Olympic participation, Lim (21 years old) leads the rankings in the individual competition, which starts from the round of 64 next Tuesday, and will also compete in the mixed team competition next month. South Korea also topped the women’s team standings by scoring 2,046 points, 50 points ahead of second-placed China, and is aiming for the tenth consecutive gold medal in this category. South Korea achieved 27 gold medals out of a total of 43 medals overall in bow and arrow during its Olympic history, which is the most successful among all countries.
