South Korea captured its 10th consecutive Olympic gold medal in the women’s archery team event Sunday in Paris, extending the winning streak that began in its capital 36 years ago.

The trio of Jeon Hun-young, Nam Su-hyeon and Lim Si-hyeon defeated China 5-4 in the set score after a nail-biting shoot-off at Invalides in Paris.

The women’s team event in archery was added to the Olympics in 1988 in Seoul, and South Korea remained undefeated after holding off China.

South Korea leads all countries in Olympic archery with 28 gold medals and 44 medals overall.

South Korea survived a scare in the semifinals earlier Sunday, needing a late rally and then a shoot-off to fend off the Netherlands.

The final also went to a shoot-off after South Korea blew a 4-0 lead, and Jeon and Lim each hit a 10 with their last arrows to push South Korea to the top.

In archery team events, each of the three shooters takes two arrows per set, for a total of six arrows. A set win is 한국을 worth two points, and a tie is good for one point. The first team to reach five points wins the match.

In case of a tie after four sets, the teams go to a shoot-off, where archers take one shot each to determine the winner.
