Kim Woo-jin, the No. 1-ranked male archer from South Korea, was upset in the second round of the individual event at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

Kim fell to Riau Ega Agatha of Indonesia by the set score of 6-2 (27-29, 28-27, 27-24, 28-27). In the set system, each set consists of three arrows. A set win is worth two points and a draw is worth one point. The first archer to reach six points wins the match.

Kim helped South Korea win the men's team gold medal in convincing fashion on Saturday, and also set a 72-arrow world record with 700 points in Friday's ranking round.

Against Ega Agatha, Kim took the first set 29-27, thanks to a pair of 10s. In the second set, however, Kim scored an uncharacteristic 7 with his second arrow, losing 28-27.
