  • 6 years ago
It's been another golden weekend for team South Korea.
The national team athletes are looked to keep the streak going today as well.
Seo Bo-bin brings us the highlights and outlines what events to watch for.

The first medal news comes from the two Korea's unified canoeing team.
In the men's 1,000-meter dragon boat race, the Koreans won a bronze medal in the final event on Monday.
The 16-member dragon boat team finished in a time of 4-minutes-36-point-459 seconds.
This is the third time the unified Korean team has won a medal at an international sporting event. The first two medals also came from this year's Asian Games, both from the unified women's dragon boat race.
With this, the schedule for the unified Korean team is all done for this year's Asian Games.

South Korea's women archers beat Chinese Taipei 5 sets to 3 in the recurve archery event.
The South Korean women have been number one for six straight Asian Games going back to Bangkok in 1998.
In the compound mixed team event, South Korea had to settle for silver, losing to Chinese Taipei by one point.
South Korea will compete in the men's and women's team compound finals on Tuesday.

In other sports, the South Korean women's handball team is going to the finals after defeating Thailand 40-to-13 in the semifinals on Monday.
South Korea will face the winner of the other semifinal between China and Japan on Thursday, and if they win it'll be their second win at the Asian Games in a row.

More sporting events are coming up later in the day with the men's baseball team preliminary match at 8:30pm Korea time and the women's long jump finals at 8:40.
