World number one Korean Female Kang Chae Young wins first World Cup title in Moscow

Kang is the sixth Korean recurve woman to win the Hyundai Archery World Cup Final.

Twenty-three-year-old Kang Chae Young beat Chinese Taipei’s Tan Ya-Ting, 6-4, to win recurve women’s gold at the 2019 Hyundai Archery World Cup Final in Moscow, Russia.

“This is my first World Cup Final and I’m just very happy I was able to have a good result,” said Chae Young. “It’s the first time I’m shooting as well as I am right now. I am in disbelief. I’m just honoured to be here and I’ll work hard to keep this top spot again next year.”
