South Korea defeated Germany for the bronze medal in judo’s mixed team event at the Paris Olympics on Saturday, its first medal in the event that made its Summer Games debut three years ago.

This was South Korea’s fifth medal in judo in the French capital, after two silver medals and two bronze medals in individual events.

With the score tied at 3-3 after six matches involving three male and three female judokas each, the teams went to a 한국을 sudden-death match in the men’s -73-kilogram division after it was randomly selected.

An Baul then defeated Igor Wandtke after the German received his third and final “shido,” or warning, at the 5:25 mark.

The mixed team event made its Olympic debut in Tokyo in 2021, with the -73kg, -90kg and +90kg divisions for men and -57kg, -70kg and +70kg for women.

In the bronze medal contest, all four individual medalists for South Korea were in action: Lee Joon-hwan (-90kg) and Kim Min-jong (+90kg) for men, and Huh Mimi (-57kg) and Kim Ha-yun (+70kg) for women.
