In a breathtaking finale at Paris 2024, the Republic of Korea's Kim Woojin clinched his third gold medal in the Paris 2024 archery competition on 4 August.

His victory over U.S. archer Brady Ellison in a dramatic shoot-off made Kim the first male archer to win three gold medals at a single Olympics, having helped his nation land the men’s team and mixed team events too. He is also the first to archer to win five Olympic golds.

The bronze medal was claimed by Kim's compatriot, Lee Wooseok, completing a stellar day for the Republic of Korea.

The final was tightly contested, culminating in a single-arrow shoot-off where Kim's precision sealed his victory 6-5. His achievement ensured a clean sweep of all archery gold medals for the Republic of Korea in Paris.

Kim expressed a deep sense of fulfillment: "Now I completed my last mission and I'm happier than any other time."

When asked about his record-breaking performance, the Olympic champion remained humble. "It was not just my personal achievement, but one for the entire Korea Archery Federation and the coaching staff. We [the men’s team] all prepared for the individual matches together, even though we were opponents. We were always united in making history."
