[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] The run of male archer double gold medalist Kim Je-deok (17, Gyeongbuk Ilgo) has come to a halt.

On the 27th, at the Yumenoshima Park Archery Field in Tokyo, Japan, Kim Je-deok lost 3-7 to Florian Unruh of Germany in the second round (Round of 32) of the men's individual archery event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Kim Je-deok aimed for a triple crown in his first Olympic appearance but unfortunately fell short. He had previously won a gold medal in the mixed team event alongside An San (Gwangju Women's University), and also secured a gold medal in the men's team event with Oh Jin-hyek (Hyundai Steel) and Kim Woo-jin (Cheongju City Hall), making him a double gold medalist.
