The Korean mixed compound archery team, consisting of Choi Yong-hee and Park Jeong-yoon, has advanced to the finals, securing at least a silver medal.
On September 30, the team triumphed over China with a score of 159-156 in the semifinals held at the Okazaki Central Park Multipurpose Arena during the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
In the first end, the team trailed 39-40, with Park Jeong-yoon scoring 9 points on her second arrow, leaving room for improvement. However, the team bounced back in the second end, achieving a perfect score of 40, tying the cumulative score at 79-79 as China recorded a 9 on one of their arrows.
The competition remained tight in the third end, with both teams hitting 10 points on their first arrows. The gap widened on the second shots, as the Korean team scored all 10s while China managed only one 9.
In the fourth end, the Korean team maintained their composure, scoring all 10s and outpacing China, which recorded two 9s. Choi Yong-hee showcased exceptional skill, delivering a perfect performance.
Looking ahead, the Korean team will face India in the final for the gold medal. India previously swept the compound events at the Hangzhou Games.
