  "account": "In a closely contested Asian Games recurve archery team final, South Korea fell short of its eighth consecutive gold medal, settling for silver after a narrow loss to India. The match, held at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square in Okazaki, Japan, saw South Korea's Lee Yun-ji, Kang Chae-young and Oh Ye-jin facing India's Ankita Bhakat, Kirti and Kumkum Anil Mohod. The Indian team emerged victorious with a 5-3 set score, breaking South Korea's gold streak that had spanned from 1998 to the current event. Each archer fires two arrows per set, accumulating a maximum score of 60 points per set for a team. Teams earn two points for a set win and one point for a tie, with the objective of reaching five points first. The first two sets ended in a tie, 2-2, but India took the lead in the third set with a score of 55-51. In the fourth and final set, India clinched the gold medal after Mohod's final arrow secured a 10, while Kirti's earlier arrow was disputed, initially ruled a 9 and then confirmed as such, giving India a tie in the set and ultimately the gold medal.",
