Next Chance to Challenge for Olympic Two-Time Champion...
Women's archery star Kang Chaeyoung (25, Hyundai Mobis) failed in her bid for a second Olympic gold. On the 30th, at the Yumenoshima Park Archery Field in Tokyo, Japan, she lost to Russia's Elena Osipova in the women's individual quarterfinals of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with a set score of 1-7 (28-28 25-29 26-27 27-29). With her hopes of advancing to the semifinals dashed, she will conclude the tournament with a gold medal in the women's team event.
Kang Chaeyoung faltered starting from the second set. She failed to hit the 10-point target even once and shot three arrows scoring 8 points. In contrast, Osipova showed no weakness, shooting two 10-point arrows each in the second and fourth sets. She secured three consecutive sets to advance to the semifinals.
