Left alone in the final after Kim Je-deok was knocked out early, Lee Woo-seok seized the initiative against Japan's Nakanishi by repeatedly hitting the dead center of the target to take the first set.

After tying the second and third sets to enter the fourth set with a 4-2 lead, Lee secured his momentum with two consecutive 10s and chanted the name of his child born three months ago.

["Help me just this once, Doyun!"]

Having secured the victory with a 9-point final arrow while holding a three-point lead, Lee celebrated the joy of becoming a double gold medalist following his team event victory, holding the South Korean flag.

In men's golf, Kim Joo-hyung showcased a series of phenomenal shots to finish with a total of 18-under par, beating the runner-up group by three strokes to capture the gold medal.

Sport climbing star Seo Chae-hyun reached the summit in the lead event, where climbers must ascend a 15-meter wall as quickly as possible within a time limit, surpassing Japan's Mori.

In taekwondo kyorugi, Song Da-bin, the only athlete to reach the final on the final day in the women's over-67kg division, defeated China's Wu Yuonzhe with a golden kick.

Thanks to Song's dramatic gold medal, the kyorugi national team continued its streak of winning gold medals for 11 consecutive tournaments starting from the 1986 Seoul Asian Games.

Although an unprecedented disaster of failing to win a gold medal in kyorugi was averted, our taekwondo team appears to need rigorous preparation ahead of the Los Angeles Olympics two years from now.

In sailing, Choi Ji-woon, competing in the youth division, pulled off a last-minute comeback in the dinghy event—where boats are propelled solely by wind and waves without a motor—to win the gold medal.
