A 52-year streak of Olympic success continued in Paris with Easton shooters capturing 30 of 30 medals awarded in the archery competition. Easton’s X10 shaft once again captured every Summer Games title, cementing its place as the most successful individual piece of equipment in any Summer Games sport.
With an epic finals battle for the men’s Gold Medal, the USA’s Brady Ellison and Korea’s Kim Woo-jin battled to the last millimeter, with both shooting a 10 in a tension-filled shoot-off. In the end, Kim won by a better of millimeters, with Ellison taking silver. Korea’s Lee Woo-seok took the men’s bronze.
Every medalist, and 123 shooters from 53 nations, used made-in-USA Easton X10 shafts.
