[Asian Games] Kim Woo-jin and Kang Chae-young Eliminated in Archery ‘Final Selection’ Preliminary Round

Woo-seok Lee and Si-hyeon Lim, first place in men's and women's recurve... Participates in individual, group and mixed competitions

Kim Woo-jin (Cheongju City Hall) and Kang Chae-young (Hyundai Mobis), the two archery heroes of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, will not be able to stand in Hangzhou Saro.

In the archery preliminary round for the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at the archery range at Fuyang Inhu Sports Center in Hangzhou, China on the 1st, Kim Woo-jin and Kang Chae-young ranked last among Korean male and female recurve players and were unable to participate in any specific event. 온라인카지노

The preliminary round is held on the first day of the archery competition to determine tournament seeding.

However, the preliminary round of the Asian Games is effectively the ‘last national team selection match’ for the Korean archery team.

The archery entries for the Asian Games are limited to 4 men and women, with only 2 people allowed to enter the individual event and 3 people allowed to enter the team event.

In mixed matches, only one pair of men and women can participate.

In other countries, it is common to allocate events so that all four male and female athletes on the entry list can compete for a medal.

However, Korean archery strictly assigns participation rights to those with the highest ‘potential to win a medal.’

If you finish in 4th place like Kim Woo-jin and Kang Chae-young did in this competition, you will not be able to participate in any specific event.

Kim Woo-jin scored 675 points and was 8th in the overall rankings.

However, he ranked last among domestic players, including 1st place Lee Woo-seok (690 points, Kolon), 3rd place Oh Jin-hyuk (681 points, Hyundai Steel), and 6th place Kim Je-deok (677 points, Yecheon County Office), and his bid for a second consecutive Asian Games individual title was defeated.

Kang Chae-young is likely to feel even more unfair.

Although she ranked 5th overall (668 points), she was pushed out by 1st place Im Si-hyun (678 points, Korea National Sport University), 3rd place Ansan (672 points, Gwangju Women's University), and 4th place Choi Mi-sun (672 points, Gwangju Bank). .

Kim Woo-jin and Kang Chae-young are gold medalists at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

However, in the face of Korean archery's strict principle of principle, 'experience' becomes meaningless.

Lee Woo-seok and Im Si-hyun, who achieved the best results in the preliminary round, will participate in all individual, team, and mixed events.

Oh Jin-hyuk and An San will participate in individual and group exhibitions, while Kim Je-deok and Choi Mi-sun will only participate in group exhibitions.

Lee Woo-seok is showing a rapid rise by sweeping medals at domestic and international competitions, including recently winning the Chung Mong-koo Cup.

Im Si-hyeon also won her individual gold medal in the 2nd and 3rd World Cup this year, playing an active role as the ‘youngest ace’ of the women’s national team.

In the men's compound archery preliminary round, Joo Jae-hoon (712 points, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power) took 1st place, Yang Jae-won (703 points, Sangmu) took 7th place, and Kim Jong-ho (702 points, Hyundai Steel) took 8th place.

Choi Yong-hee (692 points, Hyundai Steel), ranked 24th, ranked only 4th among Korean players and was unable to contribute to his second consecutive victory in the team event.

In the compound women's division, 2nd place So Chae-won (699 points, Hyundai Mobis), 3rd place Oh Yu-hyeon (697 points, Jeonbuk Provincial Office), and 6th place Jo Soo-ah (691 points, Hyundai Mobis) will stand in Hangzhou Saero.

Song Yun-soo (684 points, Hyundai Mobis) unfortunately lost his qualification for the challenge as he ranked 16th, the lowest among Korean players.
