Yes I agree. I m curious how Koreans have made archery a monopoly. Scores are huge. How do they do it. Its an anomaly

 

This cannot be true. Unreal.

Koreans at another level...it has to be some kind of systematic planning by Koreans right down from junior age level with world class facilities...maybe every kid there want to be an archer....

Dhiraj is 1 pt behind as well... either should have a great run at the end to help boost the mixed team chances with a good seed as well!

We are guaranteed 4th. China much below

Thats why i have a bit of doubt. Are they taking adhd medication like ritalin which helps them focus. God knows 

It's generational as well. They have been dominating since the 80s I think. One set of crack archers in both men and women for decades!

Where are you guys watching (as in live watching and not just scores).

And he is the youngest. Pant batting against Saf or aus in SENA when kohli Kela and Rohit eating peanuts in dressing room

Mega stuff from Dhiraj, made it to top 4

 

Top 3 not bad in Team

Finished third as a team, mostly because of Dhiraj finishing 4th, beating one of the Koreans.

What do you mean? It says - The top 16 Mixed teams from the Ranking Round qualify to the 1/8 Elimination Round

 

Do you mean direct entry to semis?

Praveen should be kicked out. Better archers than him
