South Korea won its back-to-back Olympic gold medal in the men's archery team event on Monday, giving the country a third gold from the sport in as many days in Tokyo.

Kim Je-deok, Kim Woo- 메이저토토사이트 and Oh Jin-hyek teamed up to defeat Taiwan by the set score of 6-0 at Yumenoshima Park Archery Field in the Japanese capital on Monday.

South Korea earlier collected gold medals in the mixed team event on Saturday and the women's team event on Sunday.

The country is now men's and women's individual titles away from sweeping all archery gold medals in Tokyo.

Kim Je-deok, 17, has joined the women's team member An San as a double gold medalist. The two won the mixed team title together, and then An helped the women's team to the top of the podium.

Oh and Kim Woo-jin also have two Olympic gold medals to their credit now. Oh is the 2012 individual champion and Kim was on the 2016 gold medal-winning men's team.

The men's team event was added to the Olympics in 1988, and South Korea has now won the men's team gold six times out of nine.

The team competitions in archery are now complete. The individual events begin with the round of 64 matches on Tuesday. (Yonhap)

  Korea's Coquillard Andre Jin, top, is tackled by Japan's Chihito Matsui in their men's rugby sevens 11-12 placing match at the 2020 Summer Olympics, July 28, in Tokyo. AP-Yonhap He may not look the part at first glance, but Andre Jin Coquillard calls himself "a prototypical Korean." Born in Seoul to a Korean mother and an American father, Coquillard, a member of the South Korean Rugby sevens team at the Tokyo Olympics, is just like all other Korean athletes in one important aspect. He hates losing to Japan, South Korea's bitter sporting rival. After South Korea fell to Japan 31-19 in the 11th-12th placement match Wednesday at Tokyo Stadium, Coquillard was in tears. With the South Korean national flag, "Taegeukgi," draped on his broad shoulders, Coquillard said he wanted nothing more than to beat Japan in the Olympics. "Losing always hurts, but losing to Japan hurts even more," Coquillard said, speaking in Korean. "Even if for just on...

  South Korea's Olympic football team head coach Kim Hak-beom sprays water onto the training pitch at the North Seaside Stadium in Kashima, Sunday. / Yonhap By John Duerden With all the soccer that has been played in the past five years, it feels like a long time since we had the 2016 Rio Olympics. It feels longer than five years since Son Heung-min cried on the field after a quarter-final loss at the hands of Honduras. South Korea will face the same Central American opposition in the third and last game of Group B and before that, there are games with Romania and, in Thursday's opener, against New Zealand, in the city of Kashima, a couple of hours outside Tokyo. The group is seen as a relatively easy one but none of the opposition should be taken lightly. The top two will go through to the last eight and a potential clash against host Japan.
