The women's team competition in archery provided a thrilling conclusion as South Korea secured its 10th consecutive gold medal in the event. Initially cruising to a two-set lead against China, South Korea faced a challenge when some errant shooting allowed China to force a shoot-off.
The tension escalated as two of the South Korean arrows were reviewed for their landing positions between the 9-point and 10-point scoring rings. Ultimately, Lim Si-hyeon, Nam Su-hyeon, and Jeon Hun-young clinched the gold for South Korea by scoring 29 points in the shoot-off, surpassing China's 27 points.
This victory extends South Korea's remarkable streak of gold medals in the women's team archery competition, which dates back to their debut at the Seoul 1988 Olympics. This achievement also places South Korea on par with the United States in the men's 4x100m medley swimming relay for the longest active gold medal streak at the Olympic Games.
