Previous World Archery Indoor Championship Coverage

Four Americans were in the individual semifinals on Friday and half of them advanced to shoot for World Championships on Sunday. Both of them will also be going for World Championships in their team events on Saturday bringing up the possibility of double World Championships.

Men’s Compound

Jesse Broadwater became the second of the two Americans who led the way in the ranking round to fall in the elimination rounds. He lost 6-5 to Sergio Pagni in the semifinals on a match that went to a single arrow shootoff. America still is represented in the final though as Reo Wilde came from behind to win 6-4 against Stephan Hansen. The two will now trade opponents on Sunday with Wilde shooting for gold and Broadwater for bronze.

In the team event the US used some strong shooting to top Sweden 240-233 smoothly in the semifinals. They’ll now take on Denmark in the final on Saturday. 

Women’s Compound

Christie Colin continued to shoot well as she won 7-3 in the semifinals against Jeanine Van Kradenburg. The two tied on three of the five sets but Colin won the other two for the four-point win. Colin will now take on Sophie Dodemont in the gold medal final on Sunday.

The women’s team is in the final after a more narrow 232-229 semifinal victory against South Africa. That sets up a matchup with their neighbors Mexico in the final on Saturday. These were the top two teams in the ranking round so it’s no surprise they are meeting in the final.

Men’s Recurve

Brady Ellison wasn’t able to give the US a third finalist as he lost 6-2 to Viktor Ruban in the semifinals. Ellison will have to settle for a chance at bronze where he’ll take on Taylor Worth on Sunday.
