CNN:
The first world records of the London 2012 Olympics have been set by a blind South Korean archer — hours before Friday’s much-anticipated opening ceremony was due to begin.
Im Dong Hyun is legally classified as blind and cannot see out of his right eye, but it did not stop the two-time gold medalist bettering his own leading 72-arrow score in the qualification competition at Lord’s cricket ground in the British capital.
Pretty remarkable! The guy can’t read a newspaper very well but he can still make the arrow hit its mark. Good for him!
Good for him, but I’m going to call bullshit on this one. He is blind in one eye and far sighted in the other.
What do you need to be a good archer? One eye and focus at far distances.
He’s probably the guy Samsung has checking to see how similar their handsets are to Apple’s.
Is this the part where I say, “Bullseye!” ?
INAA, but doesn’t depth perception come into play at all in archery?
