On the third day of the Paris Olympics, SBS also delivered moments of glory in archery, judo, air rifle, and fencing sports, and its viewership ratings are soaring, not only ranking first in broadcast viewership ratings in the same time slot, but also exceeding double-digit viewership ratings.
Another gold medalist, Ban Hyo-jin's 10m air rifle match, was ranked first in the same time slot by SBS, recording a viewership rating of 0.9% in 2049, and the women's saber fencing round of 16 match in which Se-bin Choi participated was recorded at 8.4%, with SBS recording 8.4%. Once again, it maintained first place in broadcast viewership ratings.
The men's archery team won the gold medal by overwhelming France 5-1 (57-57 59-58 59-56) in the men's archery recurve team gold medal match held at Les Invalides in Paris.
Following the women's archery team, the men's archery team won another gold medal, making, as commentator Jeong Seok-moon said, 'all Korean archers who participated in this Olympics have become gold medalists.'
In particular, in the mixed match, the 'good partner' broadcasting chemistry of commentators Park Seong-hyun and Park Kyung-mo, Korea's only 'couple casters', is also raising expectations.
SBS commentator Jo Gu-ham, a silver medalist at the Tokyo Olympics, had predicted Mimi Heo's medal chances before the competition, saying, "Mimi Heo is the player that all athletes consider number one to avoid."
Ban Hyo-jin, who has three years of shooting experience, became the youngest ever gold medalist at the Korean Summer Olympics and the 100th gold medalist at the Summer Olympics in her first Olympics.
