Prasad, who turns 26 next month, looked in his elements as he led his formidable opponent 139-138 at the end of the fifth and penultimate series, before Im displayed superb concentration and accuracy to reverse the course of the pre-quarterfinal in the last series. The Korean, who won the individual silver in the World Championship last year, levelled the score at 147 picking up nine points with his first arrow in the last series even as Prasad had to be satisfied with a nine pointer. Both archers then hit ten pointers with the next arrow, as the fight went to the wire at the historic Panathinaiko Stadium. With the fate of the tie depending on the 18th and last shot, the Korean struck a nine, but Prasad apparently became a bundle of nerves and managed only seven points to bow out of the competition. in-depth coverage > Olympic Games 2004 > |
