South Korea fell short of grabbing its fifth medal in shooting at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday, following a loss in the bronze medal match of the 10-meter air pistol mixed team event. Lee Won-ho and Oh Ye-jin lost to Sarabjot Singh and Manu Bhaker of India 16-10 to take fourth place at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre in Chateauroux, south of Paris. The shooters each fired single shots, with a perfect score being 10.9 points. Two points were awarded to the team with the higher combined score, with one point given to each team in case of a tie. The goal was to get to 16 points first. The South Korean team won the first series to go up 2-0 but never led again the rest of the way. Lee, in particular, struggled with five consecutive scores in the 9s. Down 14-6, Lee and Oh won the next two series to cut the deficit at 14-10, but on their 13th shots, Lee and Oh had just 9.5 and 9.0 points, respectively, to bow out of the match. Lee had also finished fourth in the men's 10m air pistol individual event. Oh won t he gold medal in the women's 10m air pistol on Sunday. Despite the loss Tuesday, South Korea has already exceeded expectations in shooting here. After settling for only one silver in Tokyo in 2021, South Korea already has two golds and two silvers in France with the competition barely four days old. Source: Yonhap News Agency
