CLARK, KOMPAS — In the past three decades, female archers have become increasingly reliable in winning medals in the recurve category. This would appear to be the positive effect of the achievements of Nurfitriyana Salman Lantang, Lilies Handayania and Kusuma Wardhani, who won silver in the Seoul 1988 Olympics.
On the other hand, among the men, only Riau Ega Agata Salsabila has consistently won medals since the 2011 SEA Games. Nevertheless, a new hope for male archers emerged in the 2019 SEA Games at the Parade Ground, Clark, the Philippines, on Sunday (8/12/2019). Male archers won two golds, namely in the individual recurve and team recurve.
