The "golden day" for South Korean archery, which had high expectations for three gold medals, unfolded differently than anticipated. In the women's team event, South Korea lost to India, ending its bid for an eighth consecutive title, while the mixed team also suffered a 0-6 shutout loss to China before finishing the tournament with a bronze medal.
While the opponents played well, rare scores of 7 and 8 continued to pop up at crucial turning points, showing a shaky performance uncharacteristic of South Korean archery.
Nevertheless, in the final men's team event, Kim Woo-jin, Lee Wooseok, and Kim Je-deok defeated India 5-1 to win the gold medal, defending the pride of South Korean archery.
