The second warm-up match for the 2025 national archery team, which will finally select the tai chi archers to participate in the World Archery Championships in Korea for the first time in 16 years, will be held at Wonju Archery Stadium in Gangwon Province from the 14th to the 18th.

The competition will be held for eight players each from recurve and compound who passed the third round of national team selection. The final ranking will be determined by summing up the scores from the first warm-up match (out of 8 points) conducted last week and the second warm-up match (out of 8 points). 토토사이트

In particular, 1.6 bonus points will be added to Recurve's Kim Woo-jin (Cheongju City Hall) and Lim Si-hyun (Korea National Sports University), who are the top individual winners of the Paris Olympics. As a result of the final selection, the top four men's and women's recurve and compound will enter Jincheon National Training Center to train for major international competitions this year, including the 2025 Gwangju World Archery Championship and the World Cup. However, only the top three players will be eligible to participate in the World Championships, which will be held in Gwangju from September 5 to 12.

It is the first time in 16 years that the World Archery Championships will be held in Korea since the 2009 Ulsan Games.

In the first warm-up match, Kim Woo-jin ranked first in the men's recurve with a total of 41 points, followed by Kim Je-deok (36.5 points, Yecheon County Office), Seo Min-ki (27, Korean military sports unit), and Lee Woo-seok (24.5 points, Kolon).

In particular, the compound event has been added as an official event for the 2028 Los Angeles (LA) Olympics, and the competition is fiercer than in previous years. Currently, veteran Choi Yong-hee (Hyundai Steel) is ranked first with 40 points in the men's category and So Chae-won (Hyundai Mobis) is ranked first with 41 points in the women's category.
