The Olympics are coming to a close Sunday, and in their final match, the South Korean women’s volleyball team finished their underdog campaign in fourth place with a loss in the bronze medal match against Serbia, three sets to zero.
This was the last Olympics for team captain Kim Yeon-keong, who said after the loss that she was happy they got so far.
The closing ceremony of the Olympics starts tonight at 8 PM.
Carrying the flag for Team Korea will be the country’s final medal winner, Jun Woong-tae, who on Saturday won bronze in the men’s modern pentathlon.
It was Korea’s first medal in that sport, where athletes compete in five different events on the same day fencing, swimming, equestrian show jumping, and finally a combination of cross country running and pistol shooting.
In total this year at the Tokyo Games, Korea won twenty medals, including six gold, which was good enough for 16th place in the medal count.
