[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suhwan] South Korea's archery bid to sweep all events in two consecutive Olympic Games has been thwarted.


On the 31st, Kim Woojin lost 4-6 (28-28, 27-29, 28-27, 28-28, 27-28) to Dang Tzu-chun (Taiwan) in the men's individual quarterfinals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics archery competition held at Yumenoshima Park Archery Field in Tokyo, Japan, failing to secure a medal.



Having already swept four gold medals in the mixed team, men's and women's team, and women's individual events, South Korea could have achieved the feat of sweeping all events in two consecutive Games following the 2016 Rio Olympics by winning the men's individual gold medal as well.
