Four years after suffering a stunning defeat in the Round of 32, American archer Brady Ellison redeemed himself in Rio.
After falling in the semifinal round to eventual gold medalist Ku Bon-chan of South Korea Ellison bounced back, beating Sjef van den Berg of the Netherlands to take bronze. Ellison completed the win in four sets, winning those by scores of 27-26, 26-27, 30-28 and 28-25 to take a 6-2 victory (archers are awarded two points for a set win, one apiece for a tie).
The individual bronze is Ellison’s second medal of these Olympics, as he, Zach Garrett and Jake Kaminski combined to take silver in the team competition.
