![]() At the Tokyo Olympics, although the women’s team, whose competition came first, were unsuccessful, they were not downcast, but immediately gave feedback to the men’s team about conditions at the event, which helped the men shoot every arrow more resolutely in their own competition. Head coach Lin Cheng-hsien says that the most important factor behind Taiwan’s outstanding success in archery-besides the demands the athletes put on themselves, the teamwork, and the positive atmosphere-has been that the men’s and women’s teams are constantly encouraging each other. Since 2004, Taiwan’s national archery teams have qualified to compete in every Olympics, and have won medals three times, including in 2021. They maintained that momentum to reach the finals. Relying on their energy and rapport, they came from two sets down in the 1/8 eliminations and shot five tens in the fourth set to tie it up, then eventually won by scoring 28 points on three shots in the shoot-off. “Awesome!” On the Olympic archery range, Taiwan’s men’s archery team members Wei Chun-heng, Deng Yu-cheng, and Tang Chih-chun shout and bump fists to cheer each other on.
