Oh Jin-hyek

Precision Sports

Oh Jin-hyek, born on 15 August 1981, is a South Korean archer. He first competed for the Korean national team in 1999, but he did not win a major individual international tournament until he took the gold medal in the men's individual event at the 2012 Summer Olympics. That result also made him the first Korean man to win an Olympic individual gold medal in archery, and it is the achievement his career is best known for. The gap between his national team debut and that first major individual title is a distinctive part of how his career is described.
