Olympic Archery

Man, watching the Mens Team Finals for the Archery was pretty nice.
The Koreans though had absolutely awesome form, very smooth releases compared with the Italians who had visible plucks.....

The score after the 3rd end though was only 2 points difference 172v170 so it was shaping to be quite close.

The technology for replay was pretty nice too with the super slow motion to see the arrow flex and everything. Not surprising to see that the Korean team was loaded up with the Samick gear either. The Italian team leader was also using it on his limbs at least..... Hoyt and Easton products quite visible in the limbs and X10 arrows while Soma stabilizers and Sureloc Sights also visible. Some variety of spin wings seen on the arrows while it looks like the Beiter button is still in use too. One of the Koreans is using another Korean company Win & Win.

What is surprising to see that one of the Koreans is using a kisser button...

The last end starts with 199 each, going to be a tight one.... The pressure is on....
And the last Italian, the youngest chokes with a 7~! He's only 20 years old so I guess the pressure really kicked him.

The Korean dude is using a cheapass Cartel armguard LOL....

Noticed that one of their X10's has outnocks on it too.....
Koreans take it with a 227 v 225 for Gold.
Man, I would have thought that it would have been a bit of a bigger gap.

Looks like Korea clears mens and womens team events.
