Archery!!!! Who woulda thunk it!
Good job guys!
Iran outclassed Chinese Taipei 231-223 on Wednesday to win the men's team compound title at the Asian Archery Championships.
"I told our players always to think as if they were 8 to 10 rings behind, so they would keep on trying their best throughout the match," said Karim Safaei, president of the Iran Archery Federation.
"Chinese Taipei is a very good team. Their archers are very young and have good body strength," he added. "But our archers are very experienced.That is the key to our victory."
The Iranian players have taken part in as many as 28 national and international tournaments this year, according to Safaei.
"They can adapt to various weather and wind conditions," he said.
The third Asian Grand Prix will be held in Iran next month.
"We will try to achieve best results at the Asian Grand Prix on home soil and our final goal is the Beijing Olympics."
Malaysia nipped Indonesia 220-218 for the bronze medal of the men's team compound.
Earlier on Wednesday, South Korea rallied past Japan to win the women's recurve team gold.
Trailing 193-189 into the last round of the regular shooting, Yun Ok-hee, Lee Sung-jin and An Se-jin combined to overshoot Japan 28-24 to level it at 217-all, forcing the extra shoot-out.
Then the South Koreans continued the momentum to finish with 10-8-9 in the shoot-out, where the Japanese only managed 9-5-10.
Lee, the winner of Tuesday's women's individual recurve competition, was the only double titlist at the four-day tournament.
India beat China 215-212 for the bronze medal.
