The archery world descends on Medellin, Colombia this week for the second Archery World Cup event of the year. In the first event in Shanghai US athletes grabbed one individual and two team medals. The individual medalist, Zach Garrett with a silver in men’s recurve, is not one of nine athletes who will be appearing for the second time this year.  In that group of nine is Steve Anderson, ninth in men’s compound, and Crystal Gauvin, fifth in women’s compound. None of the six athletes other than Garrett who aren’t competing in Medellin after taking part in Shanghai reached the round of 16, though Khatuna Lorig did win a mixed recurve gold in Shanghai. Lorig and her fellow three women’s recurve competitors from Shanghai will all be absent in Medellin as a new group of four competes.

Wednesday will be qualifying for the individual and team competitions in the morning and then the individual competitions will all narrow down to the top 32 via knockout matches in the afternoon.
