In the women's compound archery team event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in Japan, South Korea claimed the bronze medal on Wednesday. The team, consisting of Park Ye-rin, Kang Yeon-seo, and Park Jung-yoon, defeated Chinese Taipei by a single point score of 229-228 in Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square, located about 50 kilometers southeast of Nagoya.
Compound archery involves targets set 50 meters away, making the perfect score of 10 quite frequent. Each team member takes two arrows per end, and the team's total points after four ends or 24 arrows determine the winner. The maximum achievable score is 240.
In the first end, South Korea and Chinese Taipei both scored 60, with the Korean team shooting a perfect 60 while the Taiwanese team scored 59. The two countries then matched each other with 58s in the next end. However, Chinese Taipei managed to slightly edge out South Korea with a score of 56-55 in the final end, securing the silver medal.
