Kim Woo-jin won his third gold of the Paris Games after a thrilling shoot-off in the men’t individual final against the USA’s Brady Ellison.

Both men were in remarkable form at Invalides, with Ellison winning the opening set and then Kim taking the second.

A similar pattern unfurled in the third and fourth – Ellison winning then Kim – taking it to a deciding fifth set.

But in the decider, both men showed why they’re the best of the best, getting 10s with each of their three arrows, forcing the final to a one-arrow shoot-off.

Kim went first, hitting a 10 with his arrow. Ellison stepped up and, while he also scored a 10, his arrow was just three millimeters further away from the center than Kim’s, giving the South Korean the dramatic win.  

The result means South Korea has completed a clean sweep of golds in archery at these Games, winning every one possible across the five disciplines: men’s and women’s individual, men’s and women’s teams and mixed teams.

Kim had personally already picked up golds in the men’s team and the mixed team events. He also becomes the first archer to win five gold medals at the Olympics.

Earlier, Kim’s countryman Lee Woo-seok won bronze.
