South Korea won their eighth straight women's team archery gold, beating Russia five set points to one in the final.
They have now won the event every time since its introduction in 1988, although Russia won the World Championships in 2015.
But the favourites proved too strong, only dropping points in the final set.
Beforehand, Chinese Taipei took the bronze, beating Italy by five set points to three.
