Im Dong-Hyun – Archery, South Korea

Im Dong-Hyun has set two world records at the Olympic games (in Atlanta and London), playing an important role in the South Korean team that took gold in 2004…

What makes Dong-Hyun’s achievements remarkable is that he’s legally blind. While one of his eyes has perfect, 20/20 vision, the other eye clocks in at only 20/100. Many times, after he shoots an arrow, Dong-Hyun has been known to ask teammates where his arrow landed. As a blind person competing in a sport that’s almost entirely vision-based, Dong-Hyun has performed incredibly.
