Sky Kim (born 24 November 1982) is an athlete from Australia. He competes in archery and has been selected to represent Australia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.[1]
Kim was born in Daegu, South Korea and took up archery at the age of eight after watching his father coaching at the local archery centre. He won the Korean national championships in 2004 but missed out on a spot in the Korean team for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He moved to Australia the following year and won the Australian national championships in 2006, the same year he was granted Australian citizenship. In 2007, he won a test event in Beijing and followed it up with selection for his first Olympics.
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing Kim finished his ranking round with a total of 665 points. This gave him the 14th seed for the final competition bracket in which he faced Romain Girouille in the first round, beating the French archer by 112-110. In the second round Kim was eliminated as Jacek Proć won the confrontation with 111-110.[2]
Together with Matthew Gray and Michael Naray he also took part in the team event. With his 665 score from the ranking round combined with the 654 of Gray and the 658 of Naray the Australians were in 9th position after the ranking round. In the first round they were defeated by eight seed Poland (223-218). The Polish would not come further than the quarter final.[2]
