Korea will win nine gold medals and rank 10th in the medal table at the Paris Olympics, a U.S. sports data analysis firm projected Tuesday.
The latest version of the Virtual Medal Table by Gracenote also had Korea winning four silver and 13 bronze medals.
In its June projections, Gracenote said Korea would win eight gold, five silver and 16 bronze medals.
The stated goal by the Korean Sport & 토토 Olympic Committee is to win five gold medals and finish around 15th in the medal race.
Gracenote said three of the nine Korean gold medals will come from archery — in the men’s, women’s and mixed team events.
The company also predicted two team gold medals for Korea in fencing — in the men’s sabre and the women’s epee events.
Individually, Gracenote predicted gold medals from An Se-young in women’s singles in badminton, Lee Do-hyun in men’s sport climbing, Seo Geon-woo in men’s taekwondo and Park Hye-jeong in women’s weightlifting.
