Ulsan (KOR) – 5 September 2009

Recurve Mixed Team In the recurve division, the top-seeded individual man and woman, KWAK Ye-Ji and OH Jin-Hyek, will make a great team from Korea. They topped the mixed team qualifications with 2750 points, more than 50 points better than the next team, Chinese Taipei, ranked 2ndwith 2697. The French pair of Romain GIROUILLE and Bérengère SCHUH, a close 3rd with 2696 points, will be fighting for a medal. In the quarterfinals, top-seeded Korea will shoot against Canada (seeded No. 8 with 2664 points). The match will probably be very close between the Ukraine, who qualified in 5th with 2680 points, and the USA, No. 4 qualifier at 2682. The No. 2 seed Chinese Taipei will fight against Mexico, who qualified in 7th with 2668 points. Finally, the last game will be between the No. 3 France (2696) and the No. 6 China (2678). Compound Mixed Team In compound, the German pairing of Melanie MIKALA and Paul TITSCHER is at the top of the ranking with 2766 points. The Russian pair of Albina LOGINOVA and Vladimir FEDOSOV was a close 2nd in qualifications with 2765, only 1 point behind the German team. Erika ANSCHUTZ and Reo WILDE from the USA qualified in 3rd with 2760, ahead of Mexico, 4th with 2758. The fight for the gold medal is open in this division.
