This is not a misprint: Easton X10 arrows were the arrow of choice for every single archery medal winner at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games that recently concluded. The individual winners were An San of South Korea (above) in the women’s individual, and Mete Gazoz of Turkey in the men’s Individual. An San broke the Olympic record, and also became the sport’s first triple gold medalist by adding Team and Mixed Team gold to her medal haul. The South Korean women won their ninth straight Olympic Games, having never lost a match at the Olympics in Team competition.
Overall, 30 medals were awarded in archery during the 2020 Olympics — three each for men’s and women’s induvial competition, and nine each for men’s and women’s team competition. New for the 2020 games was the “Mixed Team” event featuring one male and one female per nation combining to compete as a team, which awarded six more medals.
