PARIS — South Korean archer Kim Woo-jin captured the men's individual archery title on Sunday, marking his third gold medal at the Paris Olympics and completing South Korea's domination in archery with a total sweep of the gold medals. Kim's precise performance in a shoot-off against American archer Brady Ellison clinched him the prestigious title at the Invalides venue in Paris.
According to Yonhap News Agency, Kim Woo-jin's victory in the men's individual archery not only highlighted his exceptional skills but also solidified his status as one of the most accomplished Olympians from South Korea. With this win, Kim joins Lim Si-hyeon as the second South Korean archer to secure three gold medals at the ongoing games, following his earlier successes in the men's team and mixed team events. His triumph in the individual category adds to his historic tally, bringing his career total to five Olympic gold medals.
This victory places Kim among the elite South Korean Olympians, as he becomes the third man from his country to win an Olympic individual archery title, a feat previously achieved by Oh Jin-hyek in 2012 and Gu Bon-chan in 2016. His performance in Paris not only underscores his prowess but also continues South Korea's legacy of excellence in Olympic archery.
