National team coach Gap-seok Gap said, “It is difficult to talk about specific events (where medals are expected) due to the vast difference in player skills, but our goal for this Olympics is one gold medal, two silver medals, and one bronze medal.”
In Korean shooting, Cha Young-cheol's first Olympic medal was when he won a silver medal in the men's 50m rifle event at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Yeo Gap-sun of the women's air rifle won her first gold medal, and Lee Eun-cheol of the men's rifle was the first male athlete to win a gold medal.
Although she failed to win a medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Kang Cho-hyun won a silver medal in the women's 10m air rifle event at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, becoming a national star.
The 2004 Athens Olympics was an event in which ‘shooting emperor’ Jin Jong-oh appeared.
Jin Jong-oh won his first Olympic medal at the event with a silver medal in the men's 50m pistol, and Lee Bona won silver and bronze medals in the women's 50m double trap and trap, respectively.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Jin Jong-oh was responsible for all of our national team's medals, including a gold medal in the men's 50m pistol and a silver medal in the 10m air pistol.
The 2012 London Olympics is the best-performing event of all time.
Jin Jong-oh won two gold medals in the men's 50m pistol and 10m air pistol, and Kim Jang-mi won a surprise gold medal in the women's 25m pistol.
In addition, Kim Jong-hyun won a silver medal in the men's 50m rifle 3-position event and Choi Yong-rae won a silver medal in the men's 50m pistol event, ranking first overall among shooting participating countries.
At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Jin Jong-oh achieved the feat of winning his third consecutive title in the men's 50m pistol event, and Kim Jong-hyun added a silver medal in the men's 50m rifle event.
This competition, held eight years ago, was the last gold medal in Korean shooting.
At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021, the only medal was the silver medal won by Kim Min-jung in the women's 25m pistol.
The top goal of Korean shooting is to connect the ‘gold vein’ in Paris.
