South Korea's An San competes in the women's individual eliminations during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at Yumenoshima Park Archery Field in Tokyo on Jul 29, 2021. TOKYO: South Korea's An San was ice-cool as she defied online sexist abuse to seal a hat-trick of gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, but the ace archer has been fighting discrimination since she was a child.

When An first made headlines last week it was not just because of her startling achievements in Tokyo. It was more evidence of An's remarkable calm under pressure, but she admitted afterwards:"When it was all over, I felt like my heart was going to explode."She started archery in primary school, initially because -- according to reports in South Korea -- it came with the offer of free fried chicken.
