With this victory, Korea won the event for the first time in 13 years since the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. Although Korean archery has boasted the world’s best, it is true that it has struggled as much as in the men’s recurve team event. In the 2014 Incheon Games, despite holding the home game, they lost the set score of 4-5 against China in the semifinals, falling behind to the third-place match and winning the bronze medal.

In the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang tournament, he met with the ambush Taiwan, lost the set score 3-5 in the final, and failed to return to the top. In the meantime, he won the men’s team gold medal in succession at the 2012 London Olympics and 2016 Rio Olympics, but he bowed his head on the Asian stage.

With the men’s team gold medal, national team ace Lee Woo-seok won two gold medals following the mixed team gold medal paired with Lee Jung-hyun on the 4th. Lee Woo-suk will aim for the last medal (bronze medal) in the men’s individual match between third and fourth place on the 7th.

The eldest brother Oh Jin-hyuk won his third Asian Games gold medal, following the team gold medal at the Guangzhou Games in 2010 and the individual gold medal at the 2014 Incheon Games.

Kim Je-deok, the youngest, won two gold medals in the men’s team and mixed event at the Tokyo Olympics two years ago and won a gold medal at the Asian Games, another major competition, clearly signaling that he is the next-generation flag bearer of Korean men’s archery.

Each player shoots six shots in every set, two shots per player, and if they win five points (2 points if they win, 1 point if they draw, and 0 points if they lose), Korea scored 10 points for the first three shots in the first set. India also chased with 29 points from the first three shots, but South Korea was superior. He scored 60 points in the first set to lead the set score 2-0.

In the second set, India slowed down as all three players put their first arrows in nine points as if they were behind South Korea’s flag. South Korea drew 57-57 and made a set score of 3-1 as Oh Jin-hyuk was chased by time and the arrow he shot with 2 seconds left in the limit hit 10 points.

In the third set, Korea won easily due to India’s mistake. South Korea was able to finish the set comfortably as the second of the six shots ended up with only seven points.

Before facing India, the men’s national team advanced to the semifinals by defeating Japan with a set score of 5-1 (54-546-5459-56) in the 8th match held on the same day. In the semifinals, they met Indonesia, winning a set score of 6-0 (57-56 58-535-55), and securing a ticket to the final.

India, which showed its strongest performance by sweeping three gold medals in the compound event, is also fiercely challenging the Olympic event, the Recurve. It paid off by advancing to the men’s team finals. After beating Mongolia 5-4 in the quarterfinals after a shoot-off (extended), they beat neighboring Bangladesh 5-3 in the semifinals and clashed with South Korea in the final.

With the gold medal in this competition, Korean archery won the recurve men’s and women’s team event together for the first time in 13 years.

This is because the women’s recurve team of Lim Si-hyun (Korea National University), Choi Mi-sun, and Ansan (Gwangju Bank) won the gold medal by beating China (58-58 55-53 55-56 57-54) in the women’s recurve team final.

With this victory, South Korea has won 10 times in the women’s recurve team event, which has been adopted as an official event since the 1978 Bangkok Games.

It has been seven consecutive wins since the 1998 Bangkok Games. After Japan won its first championship in 1978, Korea won three consecutive games from the 1982 New Delhi Games to the 1990 Beijing Games. Later, he lost the gold medal to China at the 1994 Hiroshima Games and regained it at the next Bangkok Games, and succeeded in reaching the top for the seventh consecutive time until the Hangzhou Games.

By winning the recurve men’s and women’s team competition together, Korean archery harvested 3 gold, 2 silver, and 1 bronze, including the compound event (silver, 2 bronze) until the 6th.
