49 China vs South Korea 3

The archery target was an important part of the archery competition. The material used to craft them was very particular, that is, in order not to damage the arrow. It was also required to be hard and firm.

In the early archery competitions, even in the 2008 Olympic Games, the target used was made up of straw and linen. However, this material was easy to penetrate which led to great controversy. After that Olympic Games, the more solid eva foam sheet was used more often to create the target. Like this time, the Youth Olympic targets were made of this material.

This foamed sheet could withstand almost twice the penetration force than before, and it was precisely because of the use of this material that an arrow penetrating through the target in an archery competition was almost extinct.

But just now, Tang Yan actually shot through the target!

According to the rules of the archery competition, there was still a score for shooting through the target, and the number of points was merely determined according to the position of the hole through the target.

The referee ran to the target at this time and read out Tang Yan's score.

The arrow passed through the yellow area in the center of the target.

This was a 10 pointer!

Tian Zhenzhe was revealing a look of curiosity.

In theory, even if Tang Yan adjusted the recurve bow from 50 pounds to 80 pounds, it was unlikely that an arrow would pierce through the target. But the problem lies in the target itself.

In the first game, Tang Yan shot two 10 pointers at the center of the target. Because the target for the second game wasn't replaced so when Tang Yan shot this 10 pointer in a similar location as before, this occurred.

After all, even water droplets could wear away rock if it constantly fell on the same spot let alone an arrow moving with 80-pound of force hitting a plate a few centimeters thick. The shot was reasonable.

Of course, all of this had a premise. Tang Yan using 80 pounds of force.

The staff at the scene quickly replaced the target with a new one.

Tang Yan didn't loosen up and shot another 10-pointer.

4 arrows all 10 pointers, Tang Yan used his excellent performance to prove his consistency.

With the 10 pointer, the Chinese team once again managed to tie the game with the South Korean team.

It was obvious that at the end of this game, the mood of the Korean team members had obviously changed.

No one could keep a calm heart seeing something so shocking, let alone a group of teenagers who were only 17-18 years old.

When they found out that one of their opponents could shoot 10 pointers with an 80 pound draw weight and even shotthrough the target, their self-confidence was inevitably affected.

Wu Quantai could feel the emotional change. He was trying hard to maintain his players mental state.

The third game started very quickly. Kim Chung-ji's play was abnormal. His 2 arrows ended in only 17 points, which was worse than his previous two games.

In the wake of this change, Zheng Zhun's performance in this round was pretty good. Two arrows for 18 points, which attracted a burst of applause from the audience.

Park Tae'an performed normally, maintaining his 2 arrows for 20 points.

Li Haoze also played a stable game, 2 arrows for 19 points.

In this way, after 4 arrows, the Chinese team tied the game for the first time.

In this case with Tang Yan having not yet played, the Chinese team was very likely to win this round before the end of the first half!

This time, Quan Zhiping really felt the pressure.

Wu Quantai cheered on Quan Zhiping as usual, and Quan Zhiping also patted his chest hard.

However, this kind of thing couldn't be adjusted by a few words. Under tremendous pressure, Quan Zhiping's play also fell short. Although it was not a major mistake, his score for 2 arrows was 17 points. The Chinese team had a huge opportunity.

Tang Yan could help the Chinese Team win this game by shooting at least 18 points.

According to the performance of Tang Yan before, the 18 points was simply a matter of shooting.

Tian Zhenzhe was sitting in the rest area at this time, watching Tang Yan enter the competition venue, his whole person was already unable to control the excitement.

Beating the Korean Team, could happen right in front of his very own eyes.

On the other side of the Korean team, in addition to Coach Wu Quantai, all three archers were heads down. Quan Zhiping took the cross hanging around his chest and put it on his forehead, as if he was expecting God to curse Tang Yan.

Tang Yan looked relaxed and calm.

Although the 80-pound draw weight puts some burden on his body, under the influence of Li Guang's ability, it was within an acceptable range.

After he walked to the venue, he actively moved his body and took an arrow from the arrow pot.

The South Korean Team members were nervous and anxious at this moment, and Tang Yan had an unprecedented relaxation.

The relaxed mood made his performance more stable and outstanding.

Two arrows for 20 points

The Chinese team won 56 to 53. By 3 points!

The cheers of the audience blew up.

The most exciting thing was that Tang Yan who was enjoying his teammate's cheering at this time, had shot a perfect game so far enough to make him the absolute focus on the field.

Archery wasn't the national sport of Korea, but it was a competitive sport. Its outstanding achievements were derived from the national system, the government supported it, companies and colleges even universities used archery as a compensatory examination method. It was a bit like China in the nineties when they invested heavily in weightlifting.

Although this kind of mechanical cultivation was somewhat rigid, the archers trained were superior to average archers in overall quality.

In the third game, the three young players of the South Korean Team were obviously shocked by Tang Yan's performance, but after a half-time adjustment, their mentality adjusted back.

In the fourth round Kim Chung-ji scored a 19-pointer in the second round with 2 arrows, while Park Tae-an showed his strength. He had a perfect 20-pointer although both Zheng Zhun and Li Haoze both shot two 18 pointers. However, the gap of 3 points was enough for them to win this game.

"It's not over yet." South Korean Coach Wu Quantai looked at his team's play, staring at the archery venue whilst biting his nails.
