Best Archers in the World

Best Archers in the Worldを徹底追究! 読者が気になる 情報と解説を分かりやすく展開します。

South Korea didn’t just win the archery gold at the Olympics—they own the podium. In Tokyo 2026, their women’s team shot a world record 256 points. That’s like hitting a bullseye from 70 meters every single time.

An San became a household name there, bagging three gold medals. She’s known for her icy stare and a “peacock” gesture she does after winning. (It’s part show, part taunt—and I love it.)

But here’s the catch: Korean archers train inside a giant dome with artificial wind and crowds of fans screaming insults. They practice discomfort on purpose. My “discomfort” is a mosquito buzzing in my ear.

The Old-School Genius: Brady Ellison

Let’s not forget the Western heartthrob of archery: Brady Ellison from the USA. He’s the first man to win the World Cup Final five times. He also shoots with a limp due to a bad knee from playing football—so he’s basically a walking underdog movie.

Brady’s style is all rhythm. He hunts elk in the mountains for fun, which means he can shoot from awkward angles while frozen and hungry. (His YouTube channel is both inspiring and humbling—go watch it, you’ll feel lazy.)

He once said: “Archery is 90% mental, 10% physical.” Which explains why I’m 100% terrible—my brain is screaming “don’t sneeze!”
