World Cup Shanghai Final

Easton Shooters Win Every Medal in World Cup Stage Four Recurve


Recurve teams shoot matches of 24 arrows with cumulative scores. Mixed Teams shoot 16 arrows and individual archers shoot their matches in the Set System (5 sets of 3 arrows) at 70 meters. Each set is worth 2 points and the archers who earn 6 set points first win the match. In the case of a tied match (5-5), a one-arrow shoot-off closest to center is shot.

Recurve Men Individual



Joe Fanchin (USA) shot his second final in the Archery World Cup this season against 20 year old, Kairul Anuar Mohamad (MAS). After a neck-and-neck battle Fanchin shot a final ten with his Easton X10 winning the shoot-off and the gold.

Pedro Vivas Alcala (MEX) faced the young Mitch Dielemans (NED). Both Easton shooters performed solidly with Vivas Alcala winning the bronze.



 


Recurve Women Individual



Inna Stepanova (RUS) and Berengere Schuh (FRA), met twice before this final in Shanghai. The wind was not extremely strong - but was changing a lot - making the shots very difficult for the archers. Stepanova shot her Easton X10's well and brought home the gold.

Easton shooters Erwina Safitri (INA) Deepika Kumari (IND) faced off for the women's individual bronze medal, which, after a solid performance by both archers, Kumari's consistency paid off, winning her the bronze.
