South Korea secured a bronze medal in the men's 10-meter air rifle team event at the Asian Games on Monday, though individual shooters Park Ha-jun, Shin Min-ki, and Gwon Hyeop-jun did not claim medals themselves. The team's combined score of 1,884.2 points secured their third-place finish at the Aichi Prefectural General Shooting Gallery in Toyota, located 25 kilometers east of Nagoya.
Park led the scoring with 631.4 points, while Shin and Gwon followed with 629.2 and 623.6 points, respectively. China emerged victorious in the team competition with a world record score of 1,899 points, while India claimed silver with 1,890.1 points. Both Park and Shin qualified for the individual final on Monday afternoon but finished seventh and sixth, respectively.
Park had previously won silver at the 2023 Asiad in this event but failed to medal this time. The men's team bronze marked South Korea's second shooting medal at the Asiad in just two days. On Sunday, women's individual bronze was awarded to Ban Hyo-jin. Shooting events are scheduled to conclude on October 1.
