(Asiad) S. Korea takes silver in team shooting event
NAGOYA, Japan, Sept. 23 (Yonhap) -- South Korea earned silver in the women's 10-meter air pistol team event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Wednesday, its fourth shooting medal of the competition.
A trio of Choo Ga-eun, Kim Bo-mi and Oh Ye-jin combined for 1,730 points for second place, ending up five points behind China but 11 points ahead of Japan at Aichi Prefectural General Shooting Gallery in Toyota, some 25 kilometers east of the main host city of Nagoya.
In shooting, team medals are awarded based on the aggregated scores of the three athletes for each nation in their individual qualification round.
Choo topped the qualification round with an Asian Games record score of 582 points. She will be one of the eight finalists competing for individual medals later Wednesday.
However, both Kim and Oh missed out on the finals after each scored 574 points.
This was a disappointing Asian Games debut for Oh, the 2024 Olympic champion and the Olympic record holder in this event.
