South Korea added three more gold medals to their medal count at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Friday, though their tally may have been higher had they continued to perform at this level. The day began with South Korea taking home a gold, a silver, and a bronze in the recurve archery medal competition. Lee Woo-seok, Kim Je-deok, and Kim Woo-jin secured the men's team gold, defeating India 5-1 in the final.
This marked South Korea's second consecutive gold in the event, with Lee and Kim Je-deok having previously achieved gold together in 2023. Kim Woo-jin's first team gold since 2010. Earlier, Kim Je-deok and Kang Chae-young earned bronze in the mixed team event after struggling to find their rhythm in the challenging weather conditions at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square.
Despite this early success, South Korea's seven-match gold streak came to an end with a 5-3 loss to India in the women's team final, as the quadrennial competition's final day approached.
