WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE FOR NOT BEING AWESOME?

South Korea claimed the first world records of London 2012 with a stunning display in the men's archery ranking round.

Im Dong-hyun who is legally blind, broke his own 72-arrow mark of 696 by three points and was also part of a record in the team shoot.

Alongside Kim Bubmin and Oh Jin-hyek he helped register a 216-arrow total of 2,087 - smashing the world record by 18 points.

They took the three top seedings, with world number two Im again leading the way, breaking the world record for the third occasion since the London 2012 test event.

Despite rain affecting the second half of the ranking shoot, Im still finished with a superb 699.

Kim was just one point behind with 698 and Oh closed with 690.

Elsewhere, Ukraine's reigning Olympic champion Viktor Ruban was down in 43rd with 660.
