Im Dong-Hyun (born May 12, 1986) is a South Korean archer. He competes for the Korean national team.
At the 2004 Summer Olympics, Im set a world record in the 72 arrow men's individual ranking round, with a score of 687. He then won his first three elimination matches, advancing to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, Im faced Hiroshi Yamamoto of Japan, losing to the eventual silver medalist 111–110 in the 12-arrow match. Im placed 6th overall.
Im was also a member of Korea's gold medal men's archery team at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
In 2006 he competed in Archery at the 2006 Asian Games and won two gold medals in the individual and South Korean team.
With eyesight of 20/200, Im is considered legally blind. However, he does not wear corrective glasses or contacts during competition, and has refused offers of free eye surgery to improve his vision.[1]
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing Im finished his ranking round with a total of 670 points, nine points behind leader Juan René Serrano. This gave him the eighth seed for the final competition bracket in which he faced Ali Salem in the first round, beating the Qatari 108–103. In the second round Im was too strong for Butch Johnson (115–106), but in the third round another American Vic Wunderle eliminated him with 113–111.[2]
Together with Lee Chang-Hwan and Park Kyung-Mo he also took part in the team event. With his 670 score from the ranking round combined with the 676 of Park and the 669 of Lee the Koreans were in first position after the ranking round, which gave them a straight seed into the quarter finals. With 224–222 they were too strong for the Polish team and in the semi final they beat home nation China 221–218. In the final Italy came close, but South Korea took the title with 227–225.[2]
