The initial medal target was set at five golds, according to the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee.

However, the gloomy forecast was proven wrong, and the team pleasantly surprised the public.

The team won 32 medals, including 바카라사이트 13 golds. This is the first time in 12 years that South Korean athletes have won more than 30 medals in a single Olympics.

Many of the medals were won in shooting, fencing and archery.

On July 27, the day after the opening ceremony, as competition began in earnest, Park Ha-jun and Keum Ji-hyeon won a silver medal in the 10-meter air rifle mixed event, earning Team Korea its first medal.

The following day, Oh Sang-uk won the men’s individual fencing sabre event, as anticipated, delivering Korea’s first gold medal. He later secured another gold in the men’s sabre fencing team event.
