13/12/2006 10:39

Im Dong Hyun added a second gold to the super South Korean archery team by winning the men's individual title with the support of the "red devil" cheering squad here on Tuesday.

Im, the 20-year-old veteran, outshot Japan's "dark horse" Tomokazu Wakino in the final 108-101, boosting himself from a bronze medalist in the Busan Asiad to the winner in Doha.

Wakino, who had never made the last eight in a major international event, finished happily with a silver medal.

Kuo Cheng-wei from Chinese Taipei, a debutant to the Asian Games, beat Rahmat Sulistyawan of Indonesia by 109-100 and grabbed the bronze medal.
