[Ansteorra-archery] Korea wins the Gold again

[Eadric Anstapa]

I think few people are surprised that the South Korean men also won their team gold.

The US men placed fourth.  They actually came in third based on points in the Semi-Final round.  However these competition are not based solely on points.  They are shot as head-to-head elimination rounds.  When the US team faced the Ukraine team to compete for the Bronze the Ukraine team outperformed them in the clutch and took the bronze.
