THE HAGUE, June 16 (Xinhua) -- China have secured a full quota of six in archery, three in men's event and three in women's, for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at the 2019 World Archery Championships in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands.

According to the qualification standard, the top eight finishers in the recurve team's event of each gender win three places for Tokyo 2020.

China defeated India 6-2 on Sunday to win their first-ever world championship in recurve men's team event, therefore securing three spots in men's event at the Olympics.

"I'm very honoured to be on the stage of the world championships and I'm very proud to represent China by winning this honour," Wei Shaoxuan was quoted as saying by the official website of World Archery.

World no. 1 South Korea frustrated hosts the Netherlands 5-3 to win a bronze.

In the women's team event, Chinese Taipei made a breakthrough winning maiden world title as they upset world record holders South Korea 6-2 in the final. Semifinalists China secured full quota for Tokyo 2020 despite a bitter 5-4 loss to Britain in the bronze final.

In addition to China, Chinese Taipei, Britain and South Korea also secured full quotas. Australia, India, Kazakhstan and the Netherlands won men's team places. Belarus, Germany, Russia and Ukraine won women's team spots.

The 2019 World Championships is the primary qualification tournament for Tokyo 2020, followed by continental Games, continent-specific qualification tournaments and a final qualifying tournament, which is to be held just weeks before the Olympics begin.

The archery competitions at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games begin on July 24.
