South Korea currently ranks second in the medal tally for the Beijing Olympics trailing only host country China.

South Korea has grabbed four gold and four silver medals as of Monday, the third day of the world sporting event. With the men’s archery team adding another gold on Monday, the nation’s target to rank in the top ten of the Olympic medal tally seems to be within reach.

South Korea was seeking to win at least two gold medals in archery and one in judo, but the odds of getting a gold in swimming were estimated at around 50 percent.

Judoka Choi Min-ho kicked off the race for gold by winning the 60-kilogram event on Saturday. One day later, swimming sensation Park Tae-hwan won Korea's first Olympic gold medal in swimming, and the women's archery team took first in the group competition, clinching their sixth consecutive Olympic victory.
