DO you have a stationary kit with you? A compass box maybe? If you do, take out a scale. put it out on the table and check out how much five millimetre is. Probably the thickness of your phone or of the sharpener in the same stationary kit. That was the margin by which South Korean archer Kim Wojiin won the men's individual gold medal match against Brady Ellison of the USA to confirm his third gold of the Paris Games.

With that, Korea completed the clean sweep of gold medals (six) at the Esplanade des Invalides. If you would have asked anyone who has followed recurve archery, this was expected. Koreans could be two sets down, or heading into a shoot-off, you can trust them to make a comeback. Kim Woojin was no exception.
