Even their Kpop idols are good in archery, saw a video of these popstars hitting the bullseye for fun. 

Historical importance of archery in Korea. Used their archers a lot to stop Japanese invasions...used to hide in narrow ridges and shoot arrows with great precision and accuracy to kill Japs. Even in their movies and shows, archery is often shown.

Korean girl choking badly. Blows away comfortable gold.

Japan and South Korea lead the table now with each having won 4 gold medals, 2 silver, 1 bronze.

But why the land of Arjun, Karan, Bhishma, Dronacharya and Eklavya cannot win a single medal in Archery? We need some Mahabharat style Drona schools 

 

We should be killing it.

we are getting better.

 

eventually we'll cross it.

 

korea's archery domination started in 1988 and from then they have maintained that superiority.

 

that's why a 2036 home olympics can shoot us into the stratosphere and can help maintain it.
