Im has 20/200 vision in his left eye and 20/100 in his right, yet managed to set a new world record of 699 points in the first round of the competition. To explain, the involves firing 72 arrows at a target 70 metres away. To score 699 out of a possible 720, a minimum of 51 arrows must score a perfect 10, which means them landing in an area the size of a CD - and the rest can barely miss. Just to repeat: Im Dong-Hyun is legally blind.
Does anyone know enough about archery to begin to explain how this is possible? I would love to know. Answers including the words 'Jedi' or 'Wizard' will be disqualified.
