Biography

In only a few short years, Korea’s Kim Soo-Nyung established herself as the greatest woman archer of the modern era. In 1988, Kim won an individual and team gold medal in archery at the Olympics. Nicknamed “Viper,” she was also women’s individual and team world champion in both 1989 and 1991. Through 1990, she held every woman’s world record at all distances and the overall as well. At the Barcelona Olympics she again helped Korea to the team gold but finished second in the individual event. Her four medals and three gold medals are both records for archery at the Olympics since its “modern” reinstatement in 1972.
