The aura surrounding South Korea's top women archers can sap a rival's confidence before the draw of the first arrow, but not Chinese Taipei world No 2 Tan Ya-ting, who feels ready to prick their bubble in Rio.
The feisty 22-year-old won bronze with Chinese Taipei at the Sambadrome on Sunday and hammered her first two opponents in the individual tournament on Wednesday to charge into the last 16.
Tan has soared up the rankings over the past year and at a World Cup event in June she beat one of South Korea's finest in Chang Hye-jin, who won team gold with Ki Bo-bae and Choi Mi-sun on Sunday.
