That moment with Simon has inspired me in my archery to this day. What a wonderful view in the reflection of his sunnies on the last shot. Your a champ Simon.

He's extremely confident, doesn't even say a word the entire duration of the match. Same with the man from USA. He just lines up his shot and fires. That's the great thing about this sport. The competitors aren't screaming or shouting either. They're focused.

I watched this final live at the range.Fairweather's performance on the day in the conditions coupled with the expecation was BRILLIANT...........I have always enjoyed projectile sports like archery and shooting!!! I screamed out as much as anyone. "Aussie Aussie Aussie...Oi Oi Oi...Aussie Oi..Aussie Oi...Aussie Aussie Aussie...Oi Oi Oi........

All thanks to Ki Sik Lee

It helps take the vibration out of the bow. The only thing that calculates is the sight at the front of the bow. Each competition you enter you go through equipment inspection.

I assume Lee Kisik left Australia for America for the greater perceived prestige, and maybe more money, who knows. Well, the US got a men's team silver in London, which isn't bad, but I think some people were expecting more for the amount of resources and effort put into it, either a team gold or an individual medal.

I want those shades which fairweather Has.

As far as I know they help the archer, either by aiding in the balance, probably helps with calculations of wind speed or direction and therein lies my point. Imagine having a pool cue with all kinds of little devices that calculate the angles and directions for you, imho, it takes away from the sport. Like I said, there is still a level of skill involved.

Do you know what the 'gadgets' are for? If not I suggest you research, once my coach put me onto them, I couldn't shoot without them, I felt a huge difference

Yes there is, the target is just printed paper, its pinned to a 'target butt'

I want to know that too, the song is great.

Yes, it's an awesome feeling...to 'robin hood' is even better, though losing an arrow is a downside to that happening lol

Nup gold medal showdown should have been between Legolas and Katniss. Legolas would have beaten Hawk-Eye to qualify and Katniss would have beaten Merida from brave.

does anybody know's the song???

what's name of music in this video?

Fairweather's finger tab..

It would take her half an hour to figure out how this bow works.

name of the song ?

With dead centre the initial commentor probably ment the centre of the target. In most competions its just as anyother spot on the target but in the olympics theres a camera mounted. you ruin a camera if you hit dead centre,which has been done a number of times. A robin hood is actually when you hit another one of your arrows, breaking the back of it and ruining your arrow, also nothing special

yeah i guess

looks like Dexter

if katniss was in here she'd pwn em

I prefer Japanese archery! These western bows have way to many pieces and gadgets sticking out of them. Great skill shown here none the less, however, I just think there is too much technology involved in what should be a simpler sport.

Japanese archers use the same type of bows and equipment this isn’t anime where there are still samurai’s in Japan

@@Jduong7 Kyudo is a more traditional form of archery still very much practiced in Japan and other countries. Other countries also still have more traditional forms of archery where they do not rely on these more contemporary bows with all the bells and whistles. Nobody spoke of animé and samurais smarta$$!

The camera shots really suck
