PARIS — South Korea has solidified its status as a leading force in archery by securing both the gold and silver medals in the women's archery individual event at the Paris Olympics. Teammates Lim Si-hyeon and Nam Su-hyeon will vie for the top spot in the finals scheduled for later today at Invalides.
According to Yonhap News Agency, A source from the Olympic archery team confirmed that Jeon Hun-young, another South Korean archer, would compete against Lisa Barbelin of France for the bronze medal before the gold medal match. South Korea's archery team has previously achieved podium sweeps in the women's individual event at the 1988 Seoul and 2000 Sydney Olympics. Prior to today's finals, the nation had already won all three archery gold medals awarded at this year's games in the women's team, men's team, and mixed team events. Lim, seeking her third gold in Paris following her contributions to the women's and mixed team victories, embodies the sustained excellence of South Korean archery.
