Men's team competition
The
Korean baseball
team, which had finished last four years earlier, improved
their result drastically in their second Olympic baseball
appearance. They lost their games against perennial powers
Cuba (which was the Cubans'
21st straight Olympic win) and the
United States as
well as
Australia, but
defeated defending silver medallist
Japan as well as the other
three teams in the competition. Their third-place finish in the
preliminary round pitted them against the Americans in the
semifinal, which Korea lost 3-2. In the
bronze medal match, the Koreans again defeated
the Japanese to take home the medal.
