  "account": "South Korea clinched its second consecutive Asian Games gold in men's team recurve archery on Friday. The team, consisting of Lee Woo-seok, Kim Je-deok, and Kim Woo-jin, outperformed India 5-1 in the final match at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square in Okazaki, Japan. This victory marked South Korea's third archery medal on the first day of competition, following a women's team silver and a mixed team bronze.\n\nThe men's gold was the third consecutive Asiad title for South Korea in recurve archery. In 2010, Kim Woo-jin won team gold alongside Oh Jin-hyek, while in 2018, he secured the title with Im Dong-hyun. The team had initially aimed to win all five recurve titles, but their hopes were dashed when the women's team lost to India 5-3 in the first archery final.\n\nIn the men's team final, South Korea defeated India 5-1. The match began with a 56-56 tie after both teams shot 10s consecutively in the first set. South Korea took the lead in the second set after Lee and Kim Je-deok scored consecutive 10s, while India's Neeraj Chauhan managed a set score of 9-8-8. In the third set, India scored 7-9-10, while South Korea responded with 10-9-9, ultimately securing the match 5-1.",
