OT: USA Archery

[vtcwbuff]

I'm flipping back and forth between a really ugly basketball game and an awesome display by the US men's archery team. They beat the world record holder and overwhelming favorite Koreans and will play fo the gold! Not only did they beat them but in hte final 6 arrow end, they kicked their ass!

I think all 3 American archers are JMU products (JMU is to archery as UConn is to WCBB). Unfortunately, JMU decide to no longer support archery.

The men just finished off the S. Korean men's team in a HUGE win. 224-219 closing out Korea with a perfrct 30 on the last end.

Big Upset as Koreans are the World Champions. I was glad to see NBC cover the match against Korea.

 

[Icebear]

Archery announcers making really ignorant comments about archery and how the shot is executed. McKinney as a past great should know better. Korea beats Mexico for the Bronze thanks to the opening shot of Mexico which was a collapse 5. Mexico shot trendous the rest of the way and showed real promise for the future.

USA-Italy Gold medal match kicking off.

 

[Icebear]

USA down 4 at the half way point. That is a huge deficit. They will need some help from Italy.

 

[Icebear]

USA closes to within 2. One end to go.

 

[Icebear]

USA down 1 last three arrows.

Can't be shooting 8's and win the Gold Medal. Lost by 1 point to get the Silver Medal.

Still not a bad showing.

Someone might want to put a "R" in the title though.
