Zhang Juanjuan

South Korean women had won every Olympic individual title since 1984 when Zhang reached the knockout rounds in Beijing in 2008. Shooting at a home Games, in gusting wind, she beat Korean archers in the semi-final and final, edging Park Sung-hyun 110-109 for gold. She had already taken team silver in Athens and did so again in Beijing, but this was the upset that showed the Korean wall could be breached.
