Olympics | South Korea sweep all 5 golds in archery


PARIS, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- South Korea has collected all five archery gold medals at the Paris Olympics after Kim Woo-jin beat American veteran Brady Ellison 6-5 to claim men's individual title on Sunday.

China's archer Wang Yan lost to Lee Woo-seok of South Korea in the 1/8 elimination round, the latter went on to collect a bronze after defeating Florian Unruh of Germany 6-0.

"I've been through countless number of games, and this was the most nerve-racking one. I tried my best," said Kim after a tough win through shoot-off.

This is Kim's first Olympic gold medal in men's singles, also the last piece of his "puzzle" to collect a gold in all Olympic archery events.

"I did complete my 'puzzle', but it doesn't mean I can't make another puzzle, and I'm always looking for new challenges," said Kim.

Despite the loss, five-time Olympian Ellison seemed unbeatable in spirit.

"No matter where I ended up, I was gonna be happy with it, and I shot how I wanted to shoot," said the 35-year-old. .
