While four years ago in Rio de Janeiro, the Koreans reached the gold without a single hesitation and won all the duels 6: 0, this time in the semifinals they defeated the Japanese just 5: 4. The home team then defeated the Dutch in the same way in the battle for bronze.
Korea confirmed its dominance among archers when it dominated the women’s competition and mixed teams in Tokyo, where Kim Che-tok also rejoiced in the triumph. The second gold in his career was also won by Kim U -čin, who was already a member of the winning team in 2016.
O Čin-hjek has three precious metals from the Olympic Games. In 2012, he won an individual race at the London Games and also contributed to winning bronze medals in the team competition.
