South Korea secured a silver medal in the team dressage event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Friday, marking their return to the podium after a three-year medal drought. The nation's equestrian team, comprising Nam Dong-heon, Kim Shi-woo, Lee Myeong-seok, and Do Hyun-woo, achieved a score of 205.265 points at the Equestrian Park in Tokyo. China claimed the gold with 208.148 points, while Japan secured bronze with 204.117 points.
In dressage competitions, the team's final score is determined by the sum of the top three individual scores among the four riders. For the South Korean team, Nam Dong-heon topped the rankings with an individual score of 70.559, followed by Lee Myeong-seok with 67.971 and Do Hyun-woo with 66.735. The riders were evaluated based on their horses' performance, including intricate movements like circles, transitions, and turns, as well as the riders' ability to maintain harmony and responsiveness to the horses' cues.
South Korea had dominated the team dressage event from 1998 to 2014, but they settled for silver in 2018 before being absent from the podium in 2023. The sport of equestrian will continue with the individual dressage event scheduled for Saturday.
