 Marcus was the current silver medalist, leader of the world ranking and had won a stage of the World Cup that year. For me, he is among the medalists was fully "expected".

The world rankings don't mean much, GB has the top 2 positions in the women's world ranking ...

What a day of archery amazing! 

Was hoping for all Koreans to lose and a Valencia v Horackova final which I got. In Men's I wanted Pangestu v Marcus final but even Gazoz was fine he's been in fine form in last 2 years.

 Fail to top the World Archery Championship medal tally for the first time since 1995.

 

 Having never won a gold at world archery championship before, top the medal tally for the first time ever with 3golds!

Interesting that it seems to be more unpredictable than shooting. I guess if archery would have more rounds it would also be more predictable. More shots = Less unexpected outcome.

The set system also does lead to less consistency.

Canadian coach is so positive 

Canada actually didn't have any coaches at Worlds. Some sort of issue, don't know what it was. That was in fact, their mental health coach.

Retelling the  David and Goliath legend.... by *nitin sanker*

 

Since 1995 for 14 world championships , there was one country which won every championship , beyond all sports, the pride of korea was her archery team unmatched , unrivalled , unbeaten  , a synonym for metronomic excellence , supported by the best coaching system in the world and with unmatched budgets ....

 

Then there was this team which never had won a gold medal in archery in 92 years.  They were famous for having the most nervous hands in archery, faltering at the last leg time and again,  with 7 silvers and 2 bronzes over 40 odd championships .... many of them were trained at satara by a constable and  former ward boy pravin  sawant at a small archery center set up with pawned jewellery from his wife ...

 

But come 2023 when the dust settled in Berlin the shining resplendent truth was revealed ......

 

Yes yes yes ...korea was in second place for the first time around 30 years  .... India finished first at the 2023  world archery championship ..  *Remember this day* ....
