Jun was in a bronze medal position in the late stages before being passed by the eventual bronze medalist, Giorgio Malan of Italy. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Jun won bronze to become the first South Korean to win a modern pentathlon medal, but he came up short in a bid for his second straight medal. Seo cracked the top 10 in his Olympic debut. Ahmed Elgendy of Egypt took the gold medal, and Taishu Sato of Japan got the silver medal. Source: Yonhap News Agency
