The compound bow event brought another Team Easton gold medal sweep. In the women’s division, Erika Jones (USA) took the gold with a decisive 8-point win. In the men’s event, Peter Elzinga’s (Netherlands) long-awaited victory was sweet and well earned.
Elzinga comments, “To finally win it all is really special to me. I’ve come in second a couple of times, but
nothing compares to coming out on top.”
