S. Korea denied 8th straight gold in women's team recurve archery, takes silver

South Korea lost to India 5-3 in the women’s team recurve archery final at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in Okazaki on Friday and settled for silver. The trio of Lee Yun-ji, Kang Chae-young and Oh Ye-jin ended South Korea’s run of seven straight Asian Games golds in the event since 1998. India’s Ankita Bhakat, Kirti and Kumkum Anil Mohod won the title after a disputed arrow call in the fourth set.

South Korea had won every women’s team gold in recurve archery at the Asian Games since 1998 before Friday’s loss.

The final was held at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square, about 50 kilometers southeast of Nagoya.

In recurve team events, each archer shoots two arrows per set, and teams need five points first to win the match.

South Korea and India were tied 2-2 after the first two sets before India took the third set 55-51 to lead 4-2.

In the fourth set, judges ruled Kirti’s first arrow a 9 rather than an 8, which gave India the deciding point for gold.

South Korea came up short in its bid for an eighth straight Asian Games gold medal in the women's team event in recurve archery on Friday, settling for silver after a narrow loss to India.

The trio of Lee Yun-ji, Kang Chae-young and Oh Ye-jin lost to India by the set score of 5-3 in the women's team final of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square in Okazaki, some 50 kilometers southeast of the main host city, Nagoya.

South Korea had won every women's team gold in recurve since 1998 but India's Ankita Bhakat, Kirti, Kumkum Anil Mohod ended that streak.

In recurve team events, each of the three archers per team takes two arrows per set, for a total of six arrows and a maximum score of 60 points per set for each team. Teams earn two points for a set win and one point for a tie. The goal is to reach five points first.

South Korea and India put up the identical scores in each of the first two sets. With the set score knotted at 2-2, India won the third set 55-51 to grab a 4-2 lead.

Then in the fourth set, after Mohdo's final arrow hit a 10, judges took a closer look at Kirti's first arrow to see if it had been an 8 or a 9. An 8 would have sent the match to a shoot-off, but it was ruled a 9, giving India the tie in the set and the clinching one set point for the gold medal.

然后在第四局，莫赫多的最后一箭射中了10分后，裁判仔细查看了基尔蒂的第一箭，看看它是8分还是9分。如果是8分，比赛就会进入加赛，但裁判判定是9分，这使得印度队扳平了比分，并获得了赢得金牌的关键一局。
