Korean athletes seem to have a knack for sporting events that require pinpoint accuracy.
This Sunday, the sharp-shooting trio of Jin Jong-oh, Lee Dae-myung and Kim Cheong-yong
bagged more gold for Korea at the Asian Games in the men′s 10-meter air pistol team event,
with an aggregate 17-hundred 44 points. The bright spark for Team Korea was 17-year-old
sensation Kim Cheong-yong, who racked up 585 points, helping the team′s victory after
winning his individual 10m pistol gold en route to becoming the youngest Korean Asian
Games gold medalist. Reigning Olympic gold medalist Jin redeemed
himself with 581 points... after a disappointing 7th place finish in the 50-meter pistol individual
event. And looking ahead... Swimmer Park Tae-hwan
will seek to defend his Asian Games crown against China′s rising star Sun Yang in
the 200-meter freestyle finals at 7 p.m. Korea time.
Korea currently just recently went down to 2nd place in the medal standings with 7 gold,
6 silver and 6 bronze... China just overtook Korea for the top spot with 8 gold, Mongolia,
a distant 3rd with 2 gold.
