Running target is an event where shooters aim at targets moving sideways like prey. In the standard event, the target's speed is constant, while in the mixed event, the target's speed varies randomly.

With the men's 10m running target team sweeping the gold medals, the shooting team has already achieved its goal of winning two gold medals at this competition.

The shooting team is aiming for additional gold medals in the women's 50m rifle three positions (on the 27th), men's 50m rifle three positions, and women's 10m air pistol (both on the 29th).

Jeong Yujin, who led the running target team to gold, also won bronze medals in both the standard and mixed individual events.
