Kim Woo-jin and Lim Si-hyeon joined forces for the mixed team gold medal in archery at the Paris Olympics on Friday, South Korea’s third archery gold and seventh gold overall in France.
Kim and Lim defeated Germany by the set score of 6-0 at Invalides in the French capital.
Kim and Lim had earlier helped the men’s and women’s teams win gold medals in Paris. They joined sabre fencer Oh Sang-uk as two of three double gold medalists for South Korea here.
Kim and Lim will each have a shot at winning their third gold medal in the individual competition.
The mixed team event was added to the archery competition at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Kim Je-deok and An San of South Korea won the inaugural gold medal then, and Kim and Lim followed suit Friday.
This was Kim’s fourth career Olympic gold, tying him with three others for the most by a South Korean Olympian.
