Im Dong-hyun is a South Korean former archer known for setting multiple world records in the 72-arrow ranking round despite being legally blind, unable to see a standard eye chart clearly. He won two Olympic team gold medals, at the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Games, as part of South Korea's dominant men's archery team. His performances drew wide international attention to his visual impairment and his reliance on the target's colored blur rather than sharp focus.
