The women's national team, which achieved the first mission, is now aiming for an individual gold medal. Korean women's archery has won as many as 10 individual gold medals in 11 Olympics, from the 1984 Los Angeles Games to the last Tokyo Games. I missed the 2008 Beijing Games only once. I don't let my guard down. The players are not excited about winning the team event, but are concentrating on the game. As he is showing off his skills, he can win the gold medal without difficulty if he is not shaken. The medal for the women's individual event will be decided on the 3rd.
