The South Korean men's and women's archery team, which won all five archery events at the 2024 Paris Olympics, returned home to Incheon International Airport on the morning of the 6th.
In this Olympics, the South Korean women's archery team won all five events, including 10 consecutive team events. Lim Si-hyun (21, Hankook University) and Kim Woo-jin (32, Cheongju City Hall) won three gold medals.
Kim Woo-jin, Lee Woo-seok (26, Kolon), Kim Je-deok (20, Yecheon County Office), and Jeon Hoon-young (30, Incheon Metropolitan City Hall) appeared at Incheon International Airport at 9:10 a.m. on the same day.
He looked a little tired after a long flight, but his calm smile was impressive.
At the Paris Olympics, Kim Woo-jin played a historic match in the men's individual final. 6 to 5 after the shoot-off.
In the fifth set, Kim Woo-jin and Brady Ellison both showed perfect shots of 30 points. In the end, Kim Woo-jin won a dramatic gold medal after a 4.9mm difference in the shoot-off.
At the time, Kim Woo-jin respected Ellison after the game and said "It's like Messi and Ronaldo."
It is an appropriate comparison of the relationship between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the world's two largest mountain ranges of soccer.
Then, Lee Woo-seok heard about this belatedly and said "I'm Mbappe." If Kim Woo-jin and Ellison have led the world archery world so far, Lee Woo-seok is relatively young, but he answered wisely with superstar Kylian Mbappe.
In the interview at the arrival hall, a question was asked "Who would Kim Je-deok compare with?" At this time, Kim Woo-jin "I didn't specifically refer to Messi and Ellison as Ronaldo."``` he smiled shyly.
Kim Je-deok hesitated for a while, and Lee Woo-seok, who was next to him, said, `Son Heung-min will do it"
All three men's national teams are certainly world-class players. Ace Kim Woo-jin is the world's strongest archer, and Lee Woo-seok, who lost after a shot-off in the men's individual semifinals, is a powerful world-class player who threatens the world's strongest.
Although Kim Je-deok failed to advance to the semifinals of the individual event, he was a key member of the men's team event at the Paris Olympics following the Tokyo Olympics. In addition, I am 20 years old now.
