Doesn't matter if you're an olympic gold medalist or ranked number 1. For them, everybody has an equal chance to represent their country. Every big tournament/event, everybody starts from the bottom. No advantage point. That's how hard their selection process is. They say, it's harder to make the cut in the korean archery selection than in making it in the olympics.

Korean National Archery Team selection process is the Olympic Games in itself. If you make it into that team, you are already an Olympic Gold Medalist.

@@pfdtx4633 It's not that other countries not try to pick them on merit but it's just that they don't have many archers to choose from so if one is/was an Olympian, he/she will likely be at the next Olympics unless he/she retires. Koreans have more than double digit Olympic medal level archers in each gender so they are not playing the same game even if they are just shooting arrows like everyone else. It's not too different than NBA/US basketball vs a small country. US could take Lebron out b/c he's old - or pick a reason - and still be the favorite in the Olympics whereas if a small country doesn't pick the one/two players who play in the NBA, the team will be much weaker so they have to be picked short of them being injured/unable to play.

More like talent centrism that picks actually good people.

Brutal selection process but fair and ultimately necessary. With such a big pool of talents, choosing athletes by past results are just too biased and frankly demoralizing for young and new talents who simply don't have prior experiences due to their ages. They keep on winning so they will continue to stick with this process. It's sad to see some former champions not returning to the big tournaments like Olympics.

3 gold medalist in the last Tokyo Olympics 2020, An San didn't get selected but still Korea women archers able to sweep all the gold medals in Paris Olympics 2024. That's how fucking good Korean archers are.

Even the top players have to start from the bottom when it comes to Olympics try out. There is no seed or anything. It can be bad for some sports as the athletes won't be as motivated to stay in shape during the non olympics seasons, but it works for archery.

Their selection process wins them 5 golds, 1 silver, and 1 bronze in Paris Olympic Archery Games. They took all the golds and still not satisfied with that, they then took additional 1 silver and 1 bronze.😂

In the Philippines only rich people can participate in any international competition those who have talents cannot afford the cost of travel, stays, and fees to compete no support from government. So most people we send in the Olympics are mediocre but millionaires that can afford the cost but never won local competition.

Korean local archery is much more harder compared to Olympics. The traditional Korean archery aims for 150m, which can shoot more than 300m in maximum. It's just their blood making them crazy for archery. China was famous for spear, Japan-sword, Korea-archery.

The rest of Korea is all about the school you went to and the people you know. If you ask any of the athletes they would prefer this even if they never get to go or they never get to go to the Olympics again. Also you can just change nationality if you really want to go as an elite Korean archer.

Is archery lucrative in Korea? Do the top archers make a lot of money?

@404-not-found-Hkimi

4 ай бұрын

Well, only the top percent do get money, it's extremely hard to be in the top percent. Like maybe 20 archers or so, compound especially is more difficult as in competition (that's in Korea) they do not get money from the competition even if you win. You have to be a team to get some money while recurve archers get money if they win a medal in a competition (that's in Korea). They do get money if they go to another country for a competition, (compound and recurve). While the compound is getting known in Korea it isn't as big as the West, I quit being an elite archer in Korea last year. It's extremely difficult and very stressful, to be in the top percent you first have to be in the top 16 (or 18, I don't remember, also normal-ish archer, that includes middle school, high school, university students, and just adults that do archery for fun. These archers are mostly the older gen that has a job and do archery as a hobby or has a job that does archery) archers (plus the elite team, the team that mostly represented Korea in the last year or so, they are mostly the same archer and do not change. They get money as it is there job to do archery) and then have to be in another competition that determines that you are the top elite archer. (you might be able to enter the elite team) You have to fight other archers for the entire day and almost a week and then you could be in the team that represents Korea. And if you go to that team you have to fight again and again to be allowed in the competition, as you might be a 'spare elite archer' (in the elite team). (While I did both recurve and compound archery, I was mostly compound archer and the rules might have changed. So my knowledge is in the compound) And you get a bonus of course if you win a medal, and if you are in the team over again you get another bonus. (Of course, I'm talking about the compound as I'm not sure about the recurve. While recurve almost changes every year, the compound is a bit different as the top elite archers are monsters in their own right.) This is what I know as I never went into the elite team as while I was good I wasn't good enough to be in the top elite archers, did archery for 10 years and sadly couldn't be in the top percent. At least I fought with the top elite and lost by one point so I'm quite happy lmao.

Technically it is the fair thing to do for everyone. But I guess the real question is whether or not this level of stressful competition is the right thing for the athletes, or society as a whole. Competition dominates everything. Should we focus humanity’s energy on collaboration instead, and demote the importance of sports to a fun activity? Or find a happier medium?
