The Republic of Korea men beat Italy and set a 24-arrow Olympic record of 227 en route to their fourth Olympic Team gold medal. The Men's semifinal and medal matches provided an incredible afternoon filled with nail-biting matches that came down to the very last arrow at the Olympic Green Archery Field on Monday, August 11.
In the gold medal match, the ROK and Italy were tied going into the last three arrows when Mauro Nespoli (ITA) shot a seven, handing the gold medal to the ROK (227-225). For Ilario Di Buo' (ITA), the loss was a flashback to the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games when the ROK defeated Italy in the gold medal match. Di Buo' is the only remaining archer from either team.
