China's archer Wang Yan lost to Lee Woo-seok of South Korea in the 1/8 Elimination Round, the latter went on to collect a bronze after defeating Florian Unruh of Germany 6-0, reports Xinhua.

This is Kim's first Olympic gold medal in men's singles, also the last piece of his "puzzle" to collect gold in all Olympic archery events. "I did complete my 'puzzle', but it doesn't mean I can't make another puzzle, and I'm always looking for new challenges," said Kim.
