South Korea claimed the silver medal in the team dressage event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Friday, returning to the podium after a three-year absence. The squad of Nam Dong-heon, Kim Shi-woo, Lee Myeong-seok, and Do Hyun-woo achieved a combined 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.
The team score is determined by summing the top three individual scores of the four riders. Nam Dong-heon led the team with a personal score of 70.559, followed by Lee Myeong-seok with 67.971 and Do Hyun-woo with 66.735. The riders' performance was evaluated based on their horses' movements, including circles, transitions, and turns, as well as their synergy with their riders and responsiveness to their aids.
South Korea had won every team dressage title from 1998 to 2014 before claiming silver in 2018 before being omitted from the podium in 2023. Equestrian competitions will continue with the individual dressage event on Saturday.
