Slack in the quarterfinals → Hard carry in the final → Shoot-off 10. Jeon Hoon-young, who was on the verge of desperate crisis, is the eldest monster who evolved from the team event

He won the gold medal at the Paris Olympics along with the team's leaders, Lim Si-hyun and Nam Soo-hyun. He is the oldest of the three.
However, I have no experience in the Olympics.
He has been selected for the national team for two consecutive years from 2023. I finished second in the warm-up match.
National team coach Yang Chang-hoon selected Jeon Hoon-young as the first runner in the team event.
However, the quarterfinal match against Taiwan was unsettling. Starting with eight points, he shot 8-8-7-8 on all five consecutive shots. There were no more than nine points.
I was nervous. As Jeon Hoon-young was shaken, the Korean national team was also shaken. He won the game 6-2, but his performance was unstable.
There was ace Lim Si-hyun's 'Hard Carry', who shot more than 9 points in all 8 shots.
However, he changed completely from the semifinal match against the Netherlands. Jeong Hoon-young, who caught 'Gam', continued his propaganda by shooting 10 points four times. As the first runner and the oldest sister, she definitely led Korea. In the desperate shoot-off, he shot 9 points and captured the momentum perfectly.
The final was even more intense. He scored 10 points five times. Without Chung Hoon-young's "Hard Carry," chances were high that he would lose in a bloody battle with China. And then shoot off again.
He also hit 10 points to perfectly take the lead as the first runner. Li Jiaman, the first player in China, who was overwhelmed by Jeon Hoon-young's momentum, scored only eight points. In fact, the victory or defeat was decided here.
