The finals of the Individual Archery Compet.i.tion attracted nearly 10,000 viewers to watch the match.After Tang Yan won the 49kg boxing event, the meaning behind this event seemed to become different.
The audience went to the scene to watch the battle. They came hoping to witness Tang Yan, to become the first person to win both events that he partic.i.p.ated in. He became the focus of the Asian Games.
This match attracted great attention.
The Korean archery team, the dominant team of world archery, lost the team event in the Asian Games after losing the Youth Olympics. The individual compet.i.tion became their last straw.
The Korean media before the game were still full of confidence. Although Kw.a.n.g-seok and Park Ji Hyun were eliminated by Tang Yan, Im Dong-hyun "the successor of the Archery Dream Team of the Republic of Korea" still defended their hopes. It was their greatest guarantee.
In contrast, the Chinese media was much more lower-key. After all, in the individual archery compet.i.tion, the Chinese men"s archery team had never reached the semi-finals. They held hope in Tang Yan but slight tension still hung in the air.
Guangzhou held clear skies, no smog and no rain, it was even warmer, a wonderful day for an archery compet.i.tion.
This kind of weather made the South Korean team at ease. After all, they lost their game in the past due to the smoggy weather, at which they were still dissatisfied at.
Im Dong-hyun looked excited. Although the current mood in the archery team was very bad, for his this was an opportunity. If he could win, he would return basked in honor.
Tang Yan was as calm and nonchalant as ever, even before the match, he was still thinking over how to start his swimming journey.
"Archers at the ready!"
After hearing the referee"s shouts, he put the swimming thoughts aside and took up the recurve bow to the arena.
Because of his individual performance, he was first in the qualifiers, so he was the first to shoot.
After he reached the gallery. He took up and shot his first arrow.
Seeing Tang Yan"s casual look, the front row of viewers couldn"t help but breath easy seeing his confidence.
Tw.a.n.g!
The arrow crossed a parabola in the air and fell sharply onto the target.
Boom!
One arrow was in the middle of the bull"s eye.
There was no suspense, 10 points.
The scene was full of applause.
The audience in the front row couldn"t help but let out a sigh of relief.
Im Dong-hyun still had a look of confidence on his face. He appeared after Tang Yan"s shot and went to the field to complete a series of standard technical moves.
Tw.a.n.g!
Boom!
10 points!
The Korean audience who came to the final were screaming with excitement.
The first arrow and the two were tied.
Tang Yan"s second arrow.
He still had a calm face and walked to the target of the arrow and looks like a casual hand.
Tw.a.n.g!
Boom!
10 points.
Im Dong-hyun still looked calm, as a quasi-main team member of the Korean archery team, he also had the confidence to shoot 10 points.
He walked to the field and slowed down the speed of his shooting. He shot two seconds after aiming.
Tw.a.n.g!
Boom!
10 points!
Not only the Korean audience, but also the Chinese audience were amazed. Seeing the skills of the Im Dong-hyun. The tickets for this final were definitely worth it.
....
Tang Yan still looked very nonchalant, Im Dong-hyun"s rate of fire was getting slower, but the number of points they shot were exactly the same.
10 points! 10 points! Still 10 points!
Just like there was a magnet in the center of the target, the arrows they shot, all without exception, hit the center of the target.
Boom!
The 12th arrow from both sides, though Im Dong-hyun had almost shot at after the 30 seconds limit, was another 10 pointer.
The audience was amazed.
It was a tie!
This was the first time in the Asian Games game that both archers shot full points!
According to the rules of the game, the two sides would usher in overtime. For a sudden death round!
The coaches on both sides couldn"t help but squeeze the sweat. No one expected that the game would become like this. In overtime, it was more than just strength, but luck.
Before the start of overtime, the coaches on both sides left their archers alone. At this stage, whatever they said would probably interfere with the archers.
Tang Yan was first to shoot.
The archer who originally shot first had the advantage but at this stage, the pressure of the first archer was greater.
The audience held their breath as if their breathing would affect the performance of Tang Yan.
His coach was nervous, the audience was nervous and even Im Dong-hyun and the South Korean team were anxious, but Tang Yan still carried a casual air about him.
It"s not that he didn"t take the match seriously, but because he had absolute confidence in himself.
Unless someone removed the target, he really couldn"t think of the reason why he couldn"t continue shooting 10 pointers.
Nocking the arrow, pulling the bowstring back and firing.
Tw.a.n.g!
The arrow drew a perfect parabola in the air.
Boom!
"Yes!"
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
10 points.
Im Dong-hyun took a deep breath, watching from the sidelines.
He walked to the archery field, called his madly beating heart, aimed at the distant target, and adjusted his state, then fired.
Tw.a.n.g!
Boom!
10 points!
The same, also 10 points!
The two sides went into overtime, it was a tie!
The scene became awkward.
According to the rules, the two sides would usher in another overtime!
The same as before the best arrow to win!
At this time, Tang Yan"s appearance finally changed. He looked at the arrow in the distance and looked helpless.
Why can"t you shoot a 9 pointer and get it over with? This extra time was just dragging it along!
Seeing that Tang Yan"s expression finally changed, Im Dong-hyun"s face showed a satisfied look.
Finally, his chance came.
The second overtime of both sides.
Tang Yan walked silently to the front with his recurve bow.
The Chinese fans couldn"t help but worry.
"This is so tense, he"s actually pressuring Tang Yan too try, come on Tang Yan!"
"He"s just hanging in, Tang Yan"s got this. He"s the new archery king. China to the top baby!!"
"d.a.m.n I didn"t think it would come to this. This Korean archer is extremly strong!"
