Kim Je-deok faced Brady Ellison (36) in the quarterfinals of the men's archery at the Paris Olympics held in Paris, France on the 4th (Korea time). Ellison, nicknamed the "Arizona Cowboy", is a veteran who has competed in five consecutive Olympics since the Beijing Games and won four medals (silver 2, bronze 2). Kim Je-deok, born in 2004, made his debut at the 2006 Pan Am Championship when he was just three years old. However, age is only a number, and all players are equal in front of the four universities.
In the first set, Kim Je-deok shot eight points. Ellison shot nine points. He shot nine points side by side with the second arrow. The third arrow shot 10 points side by side. Ellison won 28-27 and took two points.
In the second set, Kim Je-deok, who scored the first arrow zero, shot 10 points and Ellison responded with 10 points. The second arrow shot nine points side by side. The third arrow, Kim Je-deok, shot 9 points, but Ellison shot 10 points and won 29-28 to secure 4 points.
Three sets. Kim Je-deok's first arrow hit seven points and shook. Ellison was thrashed 27-30, 0-6, hitting 10 points all three times..
He aspired to a revenge match against his rival, who pushed him out of the round of 32 at the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, but failed to achieve his dream of an individual medal again this time as he was eliminated in the quarterfinals.
