Kim Woojin (Korea) v Matias Grande (Mexico) | Match | 2025 Archery World Cup

Kim Woojin to get the gold medal match underway. This is the second match in a row where we see Kim Woojin start with an 8. Matias pretty much exactly in the same spot. You can see the wind going through his hair. Not easy circumstances to shoot in. No damage done though. Both in the 8s. That wind has picked up. Look at the flags at the back moving around all over the shop. It looks relatively still on the shooting line. Kim Woojin did in his semi-final and took two arrows to find the middle of the target. Pressure on Grande already. But he finds the middle and 26 apiece. Conditions changing here in Shanghai. Arrow to arrow and it's causing a big issue for these archers making for great entertainment for us. Matias Grande 3-1 down. Shoots first in the third and that looked a little bit more confident. Not the cleanest shot that I've ever seen from Kim Woojin but it should be much cleaner on the target. Now has the wind settled down on the range? It certainly doesn't look so by those trees. Has it settled down or has Kim Woojin worked it out? I think an indication from behind the target and it's still blowy out there. Yeah you can see those beach flags going as well. Nine for the points in set number three and that's a great group from Kim Woojin. Whatever was going on before has either changed or Kim Woojin's worked it out. Yeah so if you have adjusted to the wind and it suddenly drops off then obviously you have to readjust or aim off but with this gusty wind I'm guessing that they have their sights set for no wind and just aim off whenever it's needed. Grande starts set number four with a nine. Key thing here to remember is that Kim Woojin just has to match the set score that Grande puts down and he can claim his 13th individual stage win. Only 13. Oh he's on the verge of making Shanghai a fabulous venue in 2025 for the Korean team on Rico Sunday. A 27 from Matias Grande. A seven is all that's required for Kim Woojin to take the stage here in Shanghai. He pops it into the 10 for a perfect 30. What a finish from the master. It took him two sets to work out the conditions here in Shanghai but as soon as he did there was no beating him. Kim Woojin of Korea is the champion here in Shanghai.
