The story
South Korea won the women's team title in archery at the Sydney Olympics on 21 September 2000. The gold medal represented South Korea, with the competition recorded at Sydney International Archery Park.
How it unfolded
Olena Sadovnycha and Kateryna Serdyuk and Nataliya Burdeyna (Ukraine) took silver; Cornelia Pfohl and Barbara Mensing and Sandra Sachse (Germany) took bronze. The winning squad included Kim Soo-Nyung, Kim Nam-Soon, Yun Mi-Jin.
The wider picture
The Olympic archery competition used recurve bows at 70 metres. Individual and team titles were decided in separate elimination brackets, so a team medal did not replace an archer’s individual result.
