Olympic Fashion Watch: ARCHERY
Taking time out from my dedicated swimming coverage, I caught a bit of the women’s archery last night. The Koreans totally dominate this sport – possibly because the opposition take one look at them and their jaws drop to the floor:
Yun Ok-Hee here is modelling a PINK bow, and a cartoon panda chest guard!
I think I might take up archery!
i love all the aerials and other guided-missile nonce-sense that modern bows have on them

My god, their kit has been designed by Hello Kitty. Whose idea was that? Jeez.

& park sung-hyun, her teammate, rocks a winnie the pooh vest to match.
(wait is the hello kitty thing an actual statement of fact or just ‘hello kitty’ standing in for azn cute design? The design doesn’t have much in common with kittychan… Only if sanrio really were designing for teams which weren’t japanese it would be kind of interesting to follow up.)
the koreans are total RULERS of archery though, so maybe sanrio just want to be associated with teh winners. but as you say, it doesn’t look *that* hellokittyish…
not any more, a Chinese girl just wrested the women’s individual gold from the Koreans…still, totally awesome. I think I read somewhere a Korean archer claiming that genetically, Koreans have more sensitive hands or something.
Yeah, Korea’s won pretty much everything for the last 20 years. Until yesterday.
You know what the panda looks like? The bear from Kokoro Scan!
Now, I’m confused – I watch the Olympic coverage here in Australia…there are other countries participating? We haven’t seen any of them. What is this Korea you speak of?
Hmm, an interesting outfit which I assume is built for the sport itself? As you say the Koreans are masters at archery and other sports of course but looking like this they are sure nice to watch! Accurist Watches
