The South Korean team of Lee Woo-seok (Kolon), Oh Jin-hyuk (Hyundai Steel) and Kim Jeduk (Yecheon County Office) defeated India 5-1 (60-55 57-57 56-55) in the men's team archery recurve final at the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games at the Fuyang Throat Sports Center in Hangzhou, China on Saturday.
It was the first gold medal for the men's team in 13 years since Guangzhou 2010. Earlier in the day, the women's team won their seventh consecutive Asian Games gold medal. It was the first gold medal for both the men's and women's teams.

After the gold medal ceremony, Chung met with the athletes individually to shake their hands and congratulate them. He also took a commemorative photo. When the athletes tried to hand him the gold medal, he resisted.
"You did a great job in harmony, let's go to Seoul and eat meat," Chung told the athletes.
According to the federation, Chung will stay until the men's and women's individual events on Sunday morning.
Chung has been in charge of Korean archery since 2005.
Hyundai Motor Group has supported archery for 38 years, from the time Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Emeritus Chung Mong-koo took over as president of the association in 1985 to Chung's presidency, contributing to the development of talented archers, cutting-edge equipment and expanding the archery population.
Mr. Chung has traveled to major events such as the Rio de Janeiro 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games to encourage and support the athletes.
