IM DONG- HYUN, SOUTH KOREA

-

Age 26; Archery The target is 70m away. The bow weighs 13.6 kg. Add to that a condition where the archer can barely see the target and shoots by feel. That’s twotime Olympic gold- winner Im Dong- Hyun for you. He’s legally blind, yet he does not wear corrective glasses or contacts during competitio­n, and has refused offers of free eye surgery to improve his vision.
