South Korean archer Park Sung Hyun, the double winner of the Athens Olympics, claimed her first Asiad individual title despite stiff and shifting winds in Doha on Monday.

The 23-year-old Park outshot her compatriot Yun Ok Hee in the gold medal match with 95-91. Yun, the individual winner of the World Cup in Shanghai this year, took the silver medal.

"I estimate that the wind this afternoon traveled 8km per hour, sometimes even faster than that," said Tian Yuling, the coach of the China's women team. "We seldom saw such low scores. You know, the South Koreans normally can collect more than 110 points from 12 arrows."

But the South Koreans have prepared for that.

"We had known about the wind so we had trained and prepared forthis condition in expectation of that," said Park, the only South Korean archer who had won all major international individual titles. "I am really happy that two Koreans were in the final, andI am grateful to all the archery supporters.

"We can't just settle for the individuals but will train for and concentrate on the upcoming team event."

According to the 21-year-old Yun, Park was definitely the leader.

"Every time I compete against Sung Hyun, I lose to her," said Yun. "It's only natural because she is experienced."

China's debutant Zhao Ling won the bronze by overcoming India's Dola Banerjee with 83-77.

"I didn't shoot very well today, it's too windy right here," said Zhao. "I'm confident I would do better if the weather was not that windy. Actually, I had a chance to topple Park Sung Hyun in the semifinal, but it was pity that I didn't catch it."
