Jin Hyek Oh Biography

Oh will try to help the South Korean men continue their dominance in team archery in London while seeking to become the first man from his country to win an individual gold medal in the sport. South Korea has finished first in each of the last three Olympics as a team, but three of its archers have fallen just short of the gold over the last six games, including Beijing. Oh wouldn't seem a likely candidate to make history _ he’s never won an individual title at an international competition. However, he finished second at the most recent world championships in 2011, falling to countryman Kim Woojin in the finals. Oh also just missed earning a medal at the 2009 world championships, losing the third-place match by one point to Beijing gold medalist Viktor Ruban.
