It was not an easy journey.
Kim Woo-jin struggled from the quarter-finals, losing the first set of each match.
In the final, he was taken by his opponent by scoring 8 points in the first set.
It seemed that they had regained balance by winning the next set, but the power of the American player Brady Ellison, who was only in his fourth Olympics, was not easy.
As Brady took the 3rd set, World No. 1 Kim Woo-jin also followed suit, winning the 4th set.
In the final set, the match continued without compromise, with both players scoring 10 points.
