Fencing at EVO, aww yiss...

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Since it was introduced in 1988 the korean women have won every team event.

The women are even better.

Their women have won the team gold literally every time it's been held (from 1988 till 2012), and their men have won it 4 times out of 7 (now 5/8). Here's an article: http://www.2020archery.co.uk/blog/koreas-dominance-of-olympic-archery/

O-O

That is actually horrifying lol.

Edit - The article certainly adds perspective. Archery is more intrinsic to their culture and regiments. No wonder some of these other places don't stand a chance. Amazing stuff.

I've never followed archery at the Olympics. Has Korea always been this OP in the event?

What's that?

It's a service that allows you to access content from other countries, I was asking because Claro Sports is broadcasting every sport life for free but you need to use a VPN if you are not from México

How do the team bouts in fencing work? Do they go all in 3v3? That would be epic haha

 

[Oersted]

Man, how the hell are Koreans this OP at hitting the bullseye?

Fucking raining 10's all over the place, holy shit...

Some schools already teach at a primary level and at a professional level, they are not completely dependent on Olympia funding. Companies have their own teams.

That makes archery a viable career choice.

Been watching the BBC streams. It's embarrassing how much better they are. Do they not take commercial breaks that often on BBC?

Also, nerf Koreans in archery pls.

There aren't really commercials on the BBC. It's paid for with a licence fee.

Makes sense, clearly something American TV will never embrace.
