Gazoz wins first gold for Turkey
Turkey's Mete Gazoz won the Olympic men's individual archery on Saturday, his country's first gold medal at the Tokyo Games.
"In the gold match, you can't talk technique. You can win the match if you have strong mentality," said 22-year-old Gazoz, who is born into a family of archers. Italy's Mauro Nespoli claimed silver and Japan's Takaharu Furukawa bronze.
Furukawa also won bronze in the men's team event. South Korea's Kim Woo-jin, a two-time Olympic gold medallist, lost 6-4 to Taiwan's Tang Chih-Chun in the individual event quarter-finals. South Korea has dominated the Olympic archery tournament, winning gold in the two team events and women's singles, but will not complete a clean sweep."This is what life is. Not everything has a happy ending," Kim said.
