South Korea's invincible archers set a new 24-arrow world record Sunday en-route to their sixth consecutive Olympic women's team gold medal.
Double Olympic champion Park Sung-Hyun combined with teammates Yun Ok-Hee and Joo Hyun-Jung to fire eleven 10s and nine 9s in the 24-arrow women's elimination round for a 231 point total.
It set them on the way to the final where they beat China. France took the bronze.
The previous world record of 228 was set by South Korea's Yun Ok-Hee, Yun Mi-Jin and Lee Tuk-Young at the World Cup in Shanghai in 2006.
