(Hangzhou = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Song-ah = North Korea won its first gold medal in shooting at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, the first international sports competition in five years.

North Korea ranked first in the women’s running target team shooting competition held at the Puyang Inhu Sports Center in Hangzhou, China on the 28th, with Baek Ok-sim, Bang Myeong-hyang, and Li Ji-ye recording a total score of 1,655 points.

This is the North Korean team’s first gold medal in an international all-around competition five years after the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang.

North Korea boycotted the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021, saying it would prevent the introduction of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), and was then disciplined by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), barring it from participating in international competitions until 2022.

Previously, in the men’s running target normal team event on the 25th, North Korea had the same total score of 1,668 points as South Korea, but there was a difference in the number of Inner Ten (10 points in the center), and North Korea, which took the silver medal, won the women’s event.
