Lee Woo-seok, a 29-year-old archer with Kolon Extenboys, claimed his second gold medal of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on the 3rd.

Lee beat Japan's Junya Nakanishi 6-2 in sets (29-26, 27-27, 29-29, 29-27) in the men's recurve individual final at the multipurpose plaza of Okazaki Central Park in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

The victory followed the men's team gold he won a day earlier alongside Kim Woo-jin, 34, of Cheongju City Hall and Kim Je-deok, 22, of Yecheon County Office, giving him two titles at the Games.

Lee, a gold medalist in the men's team and mixed team events at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and in the men's team event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, won his first individual gold at a major international multisport competition.
