Men's archery also shoots 'Gold Arrows' toward the top of the team event.
The South Korean men's archery team, consisting of Kim Woo-jin (Cheongju City Hall), Kim Je-deok (Yecheon County Office) and Lee Woo-seok (Kolong), will compete in the men's team archery at the 2024 Paris Olympics at 9:38 p.m. on the 29th (Korea time).
Expectations are high. Earlier, the women's archery, consisting of Shim Ji-hyun (Korea National Sports University), Nam Soo-hyun (Suncheon City Hall), and Jeon Hoon-young (Incheon City Hall), beat China in the final and won the gold medal. Starting with the 1988 Seoul Games, he achieved a whopping 10 consecutive victories.

Expectations are also high for the men's national team. Korean men's archery was also very strong at the Olympics. Since 1988, he has won six gold medals in nine Olympic Games. The only time he failed to win a medal was at the 1992 Barcelona Games. Moreover, Kim Woo-jin and Kim Je-deok, who collaborated for the gold medal at the previous Tokyo Games, are holding out for the national team. 'Veteran'Kim Woo-jin is the world's best recognized player. He has won two gold medals in the previous two Olympics. She also won nine gold medals at the World Championships. Kim Woo-jin ranked No. 1 overall in the previous ranking round, shooting 686 points. be in the best shape. The 'genius youngest' Kim Je-deok seems to have matured one step further. Three years ago in Tokyo, he surprised the world by winning the Olympics as a high school student. He competed in the Olympics for the second time in a row. He ranked second overall with 682 points in the ranking round.

Lee Woo-seok is more desperate for the Olympics than anyone else. He was selected as the leading member of archery in the Republic of Korea from a young age. He won five gold medals at the 2013 National Sports Festival when he was a student at Incheon Seonin High School. At the 2014 Youth Olympics held in Nanjing, China, he set a new world record under the age of 17. Fate ran strangely. After rising to the adult level, Lee Woo-suk failed to overcome the last shot in front of the big stage. In the 2016 Rio Olympics national team selection, he finished fourth. I missed the Olympic ticket to the top three in front of my eyes. Even at the Tokyo Olympics, he was not on the final list. He also failed to reach the top at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games, when he joined the first-team national team. He won silver medals in both individual and team events at the time when he joined the Korean Armed Forces as a private. If he won the gold medal at that time, he could have received a special military service exemption. But even that wasn't up to Lee Woo-suk. Lee Woo-suk took the Olympic stage after three moves. He shot 681 points (5th) in the ranking round, raising the sensation of his fingertips.
In particular, as of 5 p.m. on the 29th, South Korea won 99 gold medals in the Summer Olympics. If the gold medal comes out on this day, it will be the 100th gold medal of the Summer Olympics. South Korea will become the 13th country (excluding the Soviet Union and East Germany) to win 100 Summer Olympic gold medals, following the United States, Russia, Britain, China, France, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Hungary, Japan, Australia, Sweden and Finland.

South Korea is doing everything in its power to keep its place at the top. In Jincheon National Training Center, the same set as the Olympic Archery Stadium to be installed in Anvalid Square was built. For practical environmental adaptation training, I tried to familiarize myself with the body and mind as much as possible by training at the simulated Olympic Stadium. In addition, a training site was secured along the Namhan River to conduct a special training session for Taegeuk palaces. This is because the grass park north of Angvalid Square is adjacent to the Seine River, which runs through Paris. It was calculated that if you practice shooting your bow in the midst of the strong wind, you will not be embarrassed by the strong wind along the Seine River. In addition, the preparation was completed through special matches.
