    What's the story

    The archery contingent of South Korea, also known as the Republic of Korea, has had a good run at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

    Ace archer Lim Si-hyeon led the proceedings in her debut Olympic campaign by clinching three gold medals.

    She secured first-place finishes at the women's individual, women's team, and mixed team events.

    Here we decode her campaign.

    Triumph in final 

    Triumph in all-South Korea final

    Lim captured the gold in the women's individual event by defeating her compatriot Nam Suhyeon in the first all-South Korea final in 20 years.

    Lim defeated Nam 7-3 in the set score at Invalides in Paris.

    She beat Puerto Rico's Alondra Rivera, Indonesia's Rezza Octavia, Great Britain's Megan Havers, Mexico's Alejandra Valencia, and compatriot Jeon Hun-young en route to the finals before defeating Nam.

    Gold in team event as well

    Lim was paired up with Jeon Hun-young and Nam Su-hyeon for the women's team event.

    The trio started well with a 6-2 win over Chinese Taipei in the quarter-final.

    The semi-final against Netherlands was a tight one but the Koreans prevailed 5-4.

    South Korea claimed another 5-4 win in the final against China to take the gold medal home.

    Mixed team event

    Si-hyeon and Kim Woo-jin represented South Korea's mixed team in the 2024 games and claimed the gold medal.

    The duo started its campaign with a 5-4 win over the Chinese Taipei pairing of Tai Yu-hsuan and Lei Chien-ying in the 1/8 elimination round.

    They then beat Italians Mauro Nespoli and Chiara Rebagliati 6-2 in the quarter-final.
