/kloc-on the afternoon of 0/4, the archery range of Beijing Olympic Park was always stormy, which had a certain impact on the contestants. In the quarter-finals, Zhang faced South Korea's Zhu. Zhu obviously wasn't prepared enough for the wind and rain factors in this game. The poor performance of 7 rings and 6 rings was shot continuously in a low state, while Zhang was not affected by the wind and rain and played steadily. In the end, she beat her opponent by five rings and advanced to the semi-finals.

Zhang's opponent in the semi-final is the world record holder, South Korea's Yin Ruji. Zhang was fearless against the strong hand, and all the first three arrows hit the 10 ring. Yin Yuji seems to be infected by teammate Zhu's depressed state, and his hit rate has not improved. Zhang won the championship with an Olympic record of 1 15 laps, while Yin Yuji only won 109 laps.

Relatively speaking, the final was extremely thrilling and suffocating. Zhang is facing the Athens Olympic women's individual archery champion Park Sung Hyun. Under the excellent situation that the first arrow hit the 10 ring, Zhang's second arrow hit the seventh ring strangely, while Park Sung Xuan hit a ninth ring and two 10 rings in the first three arrows.

When the scene was at a disadvantage, Zhang did not lose heart and quickly adjusted his state. From the third arrow, he never fell below the ninth ring. On the contrary, Park Sung Xuan made frequent mistakes and shot several eight rings. With the last arrow left, Zhang was one lap ahead of his opponent. Park Sung Xuan's last shot hit 9 rings, which means that Zhang's last shot must hit more than 9 rings to ensure winning the championship. She did it! In the storm, Zhang bowed, aimed, loosened the string and rang 9 times! In the end, Zhang won the 1 10 ring, Park Sung-hyun won the 109 ring, and Zhang narrowly won the championship by 1 ring.

After the game, the archery range became a sea of joy for the audience in China, and the coaches and players of the China team embraced each other to celebrate. In an interview with reporters, Zhang said: "The important reason for winning today is self-confidence. I have always believed that I can beat Korean players, and now I have finally done it. "

Tian Yuling, coach of China team, told reporters that this gold medal was hard won, which condensed the efforts of all the archers in China. However, we should not be blindly optimistic. South Korea is still very strong. I only won one game today, and I need to continue to work hard to beat South Korea many times in the future.

Since 1984, China has won five silver medals, but never a gold medal. Zhang's gold medal in women's individual event is the first gold medal in archery in China. China's closest archery gold medal to the Olympic Games was in the women's team event of Athens Olympic Games. China lost to South Korea by one ring, and Zhang experienced the bitterness of losing in the team at that time.

Before the Beijing Olympic Games, since the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984, Korean female athletes won all the gold medals in individual and team archery in the Olympic Games. South Korea also won the gold medal in the women's archery team competition of the Beijing Olympic Games, which ended on August 10. Therefore, Zhang's victory today also broke the monopoly of Korean female athletes on Olympic archery gold medals for 24 years.
