I for one have never ever been interested in Archery in the slightest. This is the first time I've seen it and it has been great. Looking forward the mens final now.

Yea it's been really good so far, very tense matches. The set system makes for much better viewing I think.

Van der Ven looking good for Bronze, thought he was on course for gold till he lost.

Edit: Jinxed him, Dai takes the bronze

Oh wins the gold in 4 sets 29, 29, 29, 28. Brilliant stuff.

Korea secure 3 out of 4 golds in the archery.

Gotta say I cant stand the single arrow shoot off to decide tie breakers. Totally unfair way of deciding a match - they should do another set imo. Am I the only one who thinks this?

Not really, Ive participated in matches with the same tie-break procedure, suits the new Olympic format too...

This format has been great. Really good for spectators. Some fantastic shooting even with 5m/s cross winds. Real test of skill. Just wish I could afford some X10 Pro's

Have to make do with with some Navigator FMJ's
