However the sport of wrestling faces being removed from the programme. The presentation and visibility of archery has developed dramatically over the last decade, as well as the level of performance worldwide.

The United States will fight for two mixed team gold medals
The Mixed Team eliminations took place this afternoon at the Shanghai World Cup. The USA will fight for two gold medals, while Korea surprisingly will have a shot at the compound gold and “only” the recurve bronze.
Korea dominates recurve eliminations in Shanghai
The individual eliminations from the 1/16 round took place this morning in Shanghai. The scores became increasingly low due to rainy and windy weather conditions. Without surprise the Koreans dominated this division.
Khairul Anuar MOHAMAD: “I expected to reach this ranking”
The 21 years old athlete from Malaysia had a successful first day of qualifications yesterday, where he reached the 4 th rank, just behind the untouchable Koreans. He turned into the first good surprise of the Shanghai World Cup.
Contrast between tradition and surprises in the compound qualifications
The compound qualifications were marked by an interesting rivalry between the traditionally dominant United States and Korea, who have dominated recurve archery but presented full compound teams for the first time in this World Cup. Denmark’s Martin DAMSBO and Russia’s Albina LOGINOVA came out on top individually.
Shanghai: Recurve qualifications – Korea dominates
Korea dominated this first day of qualifications. In the men’s individuals, OH finished 1st with 1371 points. In the women’s side, YUN and CHANG took the top two places with 1368 points.
Danielle BROWN (GBR): “The organisation in Shanghai is second to none”
After a gold medal winning performance at the Paralympic Games and a second place at the Tokyo World Cup Final, 2012 was a special year for the British athlete. However looking back is not what’s on Danielle BROWN’s mind.
