Previous 2014 World Archery Indoor Championship Coverage
This was the 12th Indoor World Championships held and this will go down as the first where the US failed to win one of the individual titles. While the US has not won much in the recurve competitions (just one women’s title) they had won ten of the 11 compound men’s titles and six of the 11 women’s titles. They had competitors in both the men’s and women’s final today and both finals were tied 4-4 after four sets of arrows. Both of the fifth sets went against the US though with Reo Wilde dropping set five 30-29 and Christie Colin losing her third set 29-28.
Jesse Broadwater was vying for a bronze and a third place finish in the men’s compound on Sunday as well. His matchup with Stephan Hansen was tied 5-5 after five sets and he lost a one arrow shootoff for third.
The only US winner on Sunday in the final matches was Brady Ellison who took home a bronze after defeating Taylor Worth in the final 6-2. It’s the second straight indoor bronze for Ellison who also finished third in Las Vegas in 2012.
The next archery coverage on WeSupportTheUS.com will be in April when the Outdoor World Cup begins with the first stage in Shanghai from April 22nd-27th. Indoor archery won’t be back until November when the Indoor World Cup begins in Marrakesh, Morocco on November 8th and 9th.
