Tang Yan"s movements attracted the attention of the audience and the media.They were eager to know whether Tang Yan, who was a blockbuster in qualifying, could still continue his myth in the face of bad weather conditions.
Tang Yan pulled out the arrow from the arrow pot, and after the bowstring was drawn, he began to pre-pull.
Because the pounds were adjusted to 80 pounds, his movements were significantly slower than usual, and the muscles on his arms showed the effort of this arrow.
Seeing Tang Yan"s move, the audience"s faces were all stunned.
In fact, let alone the audience, the archers of the South Korean Team were also look on intrigued.
"This.. he"s over-straining his muscles" Quan Zhiping saw that Tang Yan was slightly struggling and couldn"t help but say.
"Looks like it." said Park Tae-an nodding calmly.
"He doesn"t seem to be considering the long game, he will tire out faster or even directly hurt himself." Kim Chung-ji said.
"He"s willing to risk it for a gold medal, after all it would be a glorious achievement for them." Park Tae-an smiled and said, intensely following Tang Yan"s movements
"Tw.a.n.g!"
At this moment, Tang Yan released the arrow in his hand after aiming.
"Swoos.h.!.+"
The arrow made a whistling sound, which clearly showed its strength.
The audience in the stands was also amazed at this time.
This arrow had almost no parabola!
Archery was first introduced to the Olympics in 1900. It was included at the 1904, 1908 and 1920 Games, then had a 52-year hiatus from the Olympic Programme. In 1972, archery returned to the Games and it has remained an Olympic sport ever since. Archers had gradually dwelled on the 50-pound draw weight and shooting on a parabola path as the best way to compete.
The South Korean team also established its dominant position in the field of archery after the 1990s with its mastery of this draw weight and techniques to go with it.
However, this arrow of Tang Yan was not on a parabola path at all, although it had a certain arc it was infinitely close to a straight line.
"Boom!"
With the audience"s exclamation, the arrow hit the target.
After the arrow hit the target, the tail trembled fiercely and made a creaking sound.
10 points!
The audience saw the number of points displayed on the digital display screen and followed with a burst of cheers.
Li Haoze and Zheng Zhun in the rest area of the Chinese team also jumped up.
However, the South Korean team"s bench was in dead silence.
The three players of the Korean team and the coach Wu Quantai were all looking on focused and observing Tang Yan.
At this moment, Tang Yan shot the second arrow in the same way.
The result was the same as the previous one, and it also heavily hit the target.
Another 10 pointer!
The cheers on the scene climbed up one dimension in an instant, and the Chinese audience waved the Chinese flag in their hands.
Tang Yan, matched Park Tae-an with a perfect score of 20 points.
With this 20 points, the Chinese Team was on 56 points! The same number of points as the Korean team!
In the first game, the two sides shot to a draw!
The audience was immersed in an anxious game, but in the Korean team"s rest area, everyone"s face was showing solemn looks.
"He used more than 60 pounds?" Kim Chung-ji asked unconsciously.
"According to the trajectory of the arrow, at least 80 pounds." Wu Quantai said with a smile.
"80 pounds! How is it possible! He..." Park Tae-an stopped halfway, regardless of whether they believed it or not, Tang Yan completed the game under their eyes, and Wu Quantai was the Head Coach of the Korean team. His judgment wouldn"t be wrong.
"This...guy.. he"s not simple..." Quan Zhiping said very mutely.
"Yes, He"s not simple at all. For a shot like that it requires a lot of brute force." Wu Quantai noticed the changes in the face of the archers, and under the pressure of his own heart, said, "No matter how many pounds he uses, the bigger the pounds, the higher the physical exertion.
To last for six rounds will take a lot but since they are willing to carry out a tactic like this they must have some confidence of success. This goes to show you like I said, never underestimate your opponent or you will regret it.
Only celebrate and feel proud once the medal is around your neck. So go out there and earn that medal. Prove why you are on this team. There is no place for pride any longer. "
Wu Quantai"s words were like a rea.s.surance and a spark. The fire on the faces of the Korean team members slowly returned. The players followed each other and nodded.
Indeed, even if Tang Yan could shoot 2 arrows, it was almost unrealistic to shoot 12 arrows with 80 pounds of force. As long as they played stably, the Chinese team should still lose.
The order of the archery team compet.i.tions was submitted to the organizing committee before the game. Wu Quantai ate a loss on this, there was no room for adjustment. All he could do now was to calm the players" mentality.
After a one-minute break, the second game started.
The South Korean team had superb archery so after Wu Quantai"s appeas.e.m.e.nt, the players" minds stabilized. Not only was it not affected by Tang Yan, but their play improved compared to the first game.
Both Kim Chung-ji and Park Tae-an scored a perfect 20 points in the second game. Although Zheng Zhun and Li Haoze played a stable role, they were suddenly opened up by the South Korean team with a two-point lead.
The last archers of the second game.
Quan Zhiping glanced at Tang Yan, who appeared on the other side, and made a fist unconsciously. Obviously, with a confrontation against Tang Yan, he felt the pressure.
"Quan Zhiping! Focus!" Wu Quantai saw this and shouted to him.
After hearing the shout, Quan Zhiping nodded hard and focused himself.
The first arrow was a 9 pointer, the second arrow was 9 points, 2 arrows for 18 points such a performance was already quite good.
After it"s completion Quan Zhiping excitedly yelled twice.
Wu Quantai was also very excited. He gave him a big hug when Quan Zhiping came off.
The final result of this round for the South Korean team was 58 points.
At this time, the Chinese team"s 4 arrows was 38 points, to tie it Tang Yan needed another 20 points.
Tang Yan took a deep breath and then took up the bow and walked to the white line.
The bowstring was pre-pulled and his actions were the same as the previous one.
The rhythm was the same.
But this time he pulled the tail of the bowstring all the way back on the side of his face, gritting his teeth as he fought to maintain his position.
Blinking at the target in the distance, and after aiming, he released his right hand.
"Tw.a.n.g!"
"Whoos.h.!.+"
There was a burst of air, the arrow was like a meteor.
"BOOM!"
"What?!" The live commentator was also shocked.
In the player"s rest area, Wu Quantai and Tian Zhenzhe both jumped up.
