Kang Chae-young won the gold medal by beating Zhu Jing-yi (China) 7-3 (29-29-28 29-29-30 29-28) in the women's recurve final at the 2025 Gwangju World Archery Championships held at Gwangju May 18 Democratic Square on the 12th.
Kang Chae-young, who won three times in the women's and mixed team events at the World Championships, quenched her long thirst by harvesting the individual gold medal for the first time in her career.
Kang Chae-young, a member of the women's team gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021, was not selected for the national team after being pushed out of competition for a while and returned after four years to achieve a great achievement.
Kang Chae-young beat women's archery star Ansan (Gwangju Bank) 6-4 in the semifinals and made history with an unshakable arrow in the final Korea-China match.

Ansan won the bronze medal with a 6-4 victory over Indonesia's Diananda Koirunisa in the third place match.
Ansan won a total of three medals by combining the silver medal in the mixed team event and the bronze medal in the women's team event.
Lim Si-hyun (Korea National Sports University), who won three gold medals at the Paris Olympics, lost to Koirunisa in the quarterfinals and unfortunately failed to win.
The Korean recurve team has won six medals (gold 2, silver 1, bronze 3) in this competition. If Choi Yong-hee (Hyundai Steel) wins the bronze medal in the men's individual compound event, there are seven.
This finished the competition as the No. 1 overall ranking, beating Mexico, which had two gold medals and one bronze medal.
