Fullerton’s 717 top compound qualifying round in Yecheon

Sporting a set of bright red trousers – and red, white and blue Nikes – to match his US teammates, the score is a one-point competition best for Sullivan.

“I knew I was on pace,” he said. “I‘m super excited, I’ve just got to stay focused.”

Stage one winner Nico Wiener seeded 12th with 711 points.

Thirteen compound men and three compound women scored 710 or more. Han Seungyeon, with 711, had a point more than Luxembourg’s Mariya Shkolna and her own Korean teammate Oh Yoohyun at the top of the leaderboard.

“I’m happy the score came out as much as I tried,” said Han. “I was a bit frustrated in Shanghai because I didn’t achieve the results I wanted.”

Both Seungyeon and Shkolna’s previous competition bests were 704.

Jyothi Surekha Vennam, who won the season opener, qualified fourth with 707 and reigning Hyundai Archery World Cup Champion Sara Lopez fifth with 705 points.

Han’s top seed led the Korean compound women’s team to shoot a new qualifying world record of 2126 points (+6) combined.

Competition in Yecheon continues with compound eliminations on Wednesday morning, followed by recurve qualifying in the afternoon.
