The inauguration ceremony of the Olympic Games –Which will be this Friday in the Olympic State of Tokyo at 20:00 local time (13:00 in the Spanish peninsula) – and the first record of Tokyo 2020 has already been broken. The South Korean San An has broken the record this Friday female archery.

An, sixth in the Asian championships, achieved a score of 680 out of 720, surpassing the 673 points that the Ukrainian Lina Herasymenko had since the Atlanta 96 Games.

What’s more, the top three ranked archers in the previous round to establish the pairings were the South Korean participants.

The Spanish goalkeeper Inés de Velasco obtained the 48th position of the 64 participants. The athlete finished with 628 points and will face the American Casey Kaufhold, who finished in 17th position with 653 points.

The thirty-second finals will be played on the 27th.
