Two days ago, Choo Ga-eun secured the gold medal in the women's 10m air pistol individual event with a sticker reading stylish attached to her gun. Today, on the 25th, she and Hong Su-hyun shared star-shaped stickers symbolizing good luck on their faces as they stepped onto the mixed team final stage featuring four teams.

[Nice!]

The two athletes pulled the trigger without hesitation to pass the first stage in second place. In the survival stage, during the 21st shot where the third-place team gets eliminated, Choo Ga-eun scored 10.4 points to edge out Iran by a 0.7-point margin, securing second place and ultimately winning the silver medal.

On the final day of swimming held in Tokyo, the eldest veteran Lee Ju-ho delivered a brilliant silver-winning performance in the men's 200m backstroke.

Passing the 150m mark in second place behind China's Xu Jiayu, Lee Ju-ho dropped to third when Japan's Nishiono charged ahead to take the lead, but with a fierce final spurt, he climbed back to second to capture silver for the second consecutive competition.

Kim Min-seop in the men's 200m butterfly and the women's 400m medley relay team also claimed bronze medals.

Having wrapped up their six-day schedule, the South Korean swimming team finished with just one gold medal, but gained the harvest of confirming the competitiveness of rising rookies such as Kim Young-bum and Park Si-eun.

The women's sepak takraw regu team captured a silver medal for the third consecutive time, and the equestrian team washed away the humiliation of no medals at the Hangzhou Games by winning silver in the dressage team event.
