[4] In the men's team recurve, Dielemans, alongside his compatriots Van den Berg and Van der Ven, firmly disposed the Spaniards with a 5–1 score in the opening round, before conceding a 2–6 defeat to the eventual champion South Korea during their quarterfinal match. [5] [6] In the men's individual recurve, Dielemans proved more challenging in an attempt to overthrow London 2012 silver medalist Takaharu Furukawa of Japan, succumbing his Olympic debut to an opening-round defeat at 1–7.
