Korean women were by now dominant in the sport. They had won the individual gold medal at every Olympics since 1984, and the team gold medal every time the event had been contested, since 1988. Their team had world champions, world record holders, and Asian Games champions, but it was so strong that none of them qualified for the Sydney Olympics, as three βnewβ archers appeared in Sydney. One was actually not quite so new. Kim Su-Nyeong had won the 1988 Olympic gold medal and the 1989 and 1991 World Championship, and was considered the greatest womenβs archer ever. After winning individual silver at the 1992 Olympics, she had retired, but came back in 1999 and made the 2000 Korean archery team.
The matches saw all three Koreans advance to the semi-finals, where they were joined by surprising North Korean Choe Ok-Sil. Kim lost to her teammate Yun Mi-Jin 107-105, while Choe went out to Kim Nam-Sun 114-107. Kim Su-Nyeong defeated Choe in the bronze medal match to give Korea the medal sweep. The gold medal went to Yun, in a close 107-106 victory over Kim Nam-Sun. Yun would later win the 2003 World Championship.
