Archery

Malaysian archery trio has failed to advance to the Olympics men’s team semifinal after losing by five points to Italy today in their Olympics debut. What stood out in their 213-218 loss to the Italians was their lack of exposure in the highly-charged atmosphere of the Olympic Archery Field where the Olympic record was broken twice before the semifinals, said national coach Lee Jae Hyung.In the 24-arrow team knockout shoot divided into four bouts, Malaysia scored 54-55-51-54 while Italy had 54-55-55-54.
