Some of the best commentary on any archery match... ever. Usually it's Europeans being professionally underwhelmed or compounders complaining about the set system. Good to see some good ole' recurve shooters making jokes and being casual while commentating. Amazing archers, as always.
Young, unknown, and no world ranking usually don't get gold, but maybe this is because this is Korea. I guess now we know who these young Koreans are. Netherlands was unbeatable in the tournament until this point. Well done to both teams.
my goodness.. they're barely 20 and good enough to get gold! how does south korea achieve this/ there are archers all around the world who started just as early as the koreans, and even trained by korean archers, but ... they still aren't as good as korean archers.. what do they have?
Well, since the very ancient times the Chinese called the Koreans by the characters '東夷'. The '夷' character is an elaboration of '弓', which represents the bow. During the Goguryeo-Sui war, the Chinese conducted a second invasion into Korea with 1,133,000 men (the biggest invasion in world history with the exception of Operation Barbarossa). The Koreans had only 10,000 Calvary Archers + some support militia, yet the Koreans won the war with their castles and Calvary archers. Emphasis of archery runs through their mythology, history, and blood.
I looked it up.. Goguryeo-sui war was between 598-614 AD. And indeed, if the ancient chinese appreciated Korean's (東夷- dongyi) archery, who knows how many years prior to their first conflict have Koreans been shooting bows. If it was 2000 years or more, it is enough for it to be embedded in their genes.
That miss was quite something though. Even a very lowly 7 would've won the koreans the set and put them on top in terms of points. No denying that the dutch shot very consistently, and it was a clutch win even in the set victory counting system.
Well, ironically, they introduced 'set system' to stop the dominance of Korea. When they were using 'most points won' system in old days, Korea's dominance was even worse!

@Onesta No way. They have to be brought up in Korea to be able to achieve those result, not just train there.
Woww Korea so young.
can an archery guru here enlighten me on what stabilizer damper / muzzle that Sjef used at the end of his rods pls? i thank u in advance
The guy wear glasses is cute
This is what I don't like about the set system. The Dutch got the most points but the Koreans won the match. It shouldn't be that way.
That miss was quite something though. Even a very lowly 7 would've won the koreans the set and put them on top in terms of points. No denying that the dutch shot very consistently, and it was a clutch win even in the set victory counting system.
