  "account": "South Korea fell short of its eighth consecutive Asian Games gold in women's team recurve archery, settling for silver after narrowly losing to India. The Indian archers, led by Ankita Bhakat, Kirti, and Kumkum Anil Mohod, defeated the South Korean team 5-3 in the final at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square in Okazaki, a city located about 50 kilometers southeast of Nagoya. South Korea had dominated in women's team recurve events since 1998, winning every gold medal awarded. However, India's trio managed to end that winning streak.

Following a 4-2 lead in the third set, India triumphed in the fourth set, scoring 55-51. This victory put them ahead 4-2, securing the silver medal for India and denying South Korea its eighth consecutive gold.",
