New World Record already set at London Games.

In the team event, Dong-hyun, Kim Bubmin and Oh Jin-hyek set a new landmark.

South Korea's archery team is regarded as the best in the world and has won 15 gold medals since 1984.

Dong-hyun, who won team golds at the past two Games, broke his own 72-arrow mark of 696 by three points.

Then, alongside Kim Bubmin and Oh Jin-hyek, he helped score a 216-arrow total of 2,087, passing the world record by 18 points.

in related news, first ticketing snafu also reported:

Spectators trying to get in to watch the archery were turned away amid confusion over ticketing.

The London 2012 website advertised the event's preliminary rounds as unticketed, which some members of the public interpreted as open to the public.

But Olympic organiser Locog said it had not advertised or sold tickets for the ranking event and had always made it clear preliminary rounds were not open to spectators.

New Olympic drinking game.



Have a shot every time NBC makes you sorry that RCA didn't pull the plug on the network in 1939.
