South Korea Beat India to Recurve Men's Team Archery Gold

South Korea won the recurve men's team archery gold at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, beating India in the final, with Chinese Taipei taking bronze.

The result restored some order for Korea in the recurve discipline after a mixed day for the traditional powerhouse, having already been beaten in both the women's and mixed recurve team finals earlier on the programme. India's silver continues what has been an outstanding campaign for the country's recurve archers at these Games, adding to the gold won in the women's team event and the silver claimed in the mixed team final on the same day.

Korea has historically been the dominant nation in Olympic recurve archery at the Asian Games, and the men's team gold ensures the country ends the team competition with at least one title despite India's breakthrough results elsewhere in the discipline. Chinese Taipei's bronze continues a solid campaign for the team, who also featured on the podium in the men's compound events earlier in the week.

With all three recurve team finals now decided, India has walked away with a gold and two silvers from the event, a historic return for a country whose recurve archers had never previously reached an Asian Games team final before this edition. The individual recurve events remain to be contested as the archery programme in Nagoya heads toward its closing days.
