It's Monday morning and the second stage of the Archery World Cup has come to a close. A huge congratulations goes out to all of the participants and medal winners.
Stage one in Shanghai ended with several surprises, pointing to the monumental shifts taking place in world archery such as the rise of the Korean women's compound team with their win against the United States (231-216). Stage two in Antalya has continued this trend, having treated us to another share of excitement and surprises.
A few finishes of note:
The Columbian Women's compound team won a historic first gold medal against the US with a score of 228-226. An interesting development as the World Cup moves on to their home turf of Medellin, Columbia for stage 3 in July.
On the recurve men's side of the competition, both Jake Kaminski and Brady Ellison fell earlier than expected with Kaminski losing his 1/16 match against Khairul Anuar Mohamad (Malaysia) with a score of 4-6; and Ellison losing his quarter final match to Italian, Mauro Nespoli with a score of 5-6.
Chinese newcomer Cui Yuanyuan defeated well decorated champion Yun Ok Hee (Korea) for the Women's recurve individual gold with a commanding score of 7-1.

Stay tuned for more excitement in Medellin coming in July!
