The Korean team, which has been gaining momentum by winning three gold medals at the beginning of the 2024 Paris Olympics, will aim for additional medals on the 29th, the third day of the opening ceremony. There are

many events in which Korea can expect good news, including the men's archery team event, the youngest Korean shooter Ban Hyo-jin (17, Daegu Physical Education High School), and the pride of judo, Heo Mi-mi (22, Gyeongsangbuk-do Sports Council). The

men's archery team, consisting of Kim Woo-jin (32, Cheongju City Hall), Kim Je-deok (20, Yecheon County Office), and Lee Woo-seok (27, Kolon), will compete in the men's archery team event held at Les Invalides in Paris, France on the 29th (Korean time), aiming for their third consecutive Olympic victory.

Korea, which won the men's team event at the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo Games, is a strong contender for the championship this time as well. Although it falls short of the women's archery 10-peat, the men's archery is also a great challenge.

The possibility is high considering the composition of the players.

Kim Woo-jin and Kim Je-deok have already won the team gold medal at the Tokyo Games three years ago. Lee Woo-seok has also participated in the Asian Games twice, so he is familiar with the atmosphere of international competitions. The

Korean players were already in good condition in the ranking round. Kim Woo-jin scored 686 points in the ranking round, ranking first overall. Kim Je-deok came in second, and Lee Woo-seok came in fifth. Since the women's national team achieved the great feat of winning the team event 10 times in a row the day before, the male players are also expected to enter the competition with confidence and motivation. In judo, where she previously participated in four events but did not receive a medal, star player Heo Mimi will compete in the women's 57kg class and go on a medal hunt.

Heo Mi-mi raised expectations for this competition by winning a gold medal at the World Championships held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) last May.

Heo Mi-mi is a descendant of independence activist Heo Seok, who was arrested by the Japanese police and imprisoned for posting an anti-Japanese protest. At the request of her grandmother, she renounced her Japanese citizenship and chose to come to Korea last year, and has been performing well on the international stage, so expectations are high in Paris. Attention is also focused on the youngest member of the Korean team, shooter Ban Hyo-jin (17, Daegu Physical Education High School). Ban Hyo-jin shot 634.5 points in the women's 10m air rifle finals held the day before, setting an Olympic record and earning a spot in the finals by taking first place overall. Ban Hyo-jin stood out by winning the competition held in Daegu just two months after taking up arms. She also showed off her extraordinary skills by taking first place in the national team selection. The table tennis team's hopes for an Olympic medal for the first time in 12 years since the silver medal in the men's team event at the 2012 London Games, Lim Jong-hoon (27, Korea Exchange) and Shin Yu-bin (20, Korean Air), will clash with world No. 1 Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin (China) in the mixed doubles semifinals. In the women's sabre individual fencing event, the eldest member and ace, Yoon Ji-soo (31, Seoul City Hall), will challenge for a surprise gold medal. Yoon Ji-soo stepped onto the Olympic stage as the youngest member three years ago and won a bronze medal in the team event, but this time she will challenge for the championship in the individual event.
