Previously, the team had also led the rankings the day before, raising expectations for a gold medal. China took the silver medal with 1,740 points, while Indonesia claimed the bronze with 1,720 points.
The team event ranks competitors based on the combined scores of three participating athletes. In the final qualifying round, Lee Gun-hyuk (2nd place) and Yoon Seo-young (3rd place) advanced to the individual finals, while Song Jong-ho finished 4th and did not qualify. Each country can have a maximum of two participants in the finals. Lee and Yoon will compete for additional medals in the individual finals scheduled for 3:30 PM.
