Korea beat China to win women's team archery gold

South Korea continued their dominance over women's archery with victory over China in the team final. Korea and China were neck and neck at the halfway stage, both registering 102 points with their first 12 arrows. Going into the final end of competition Korea held a two-point lead over their Chinese rivals. Korea maintained their composure and needed just nine points with their final arrow to claim gold. Korea scored the all-important nine under pressure to beat their Chinese opponents, as they did in Beijing, to claim gold. China were once again forced to settle for silver by the narrowest of margins, losing 210-209.
