This paragraph is from NPR.ORG:

On the first day of full competition in the London 2012 Summer Olympics, Team USA won its first medal of the games, as the men’s archery team took silver in a tense final against Italy. The Americans reached the final after stunning the highly regarded South Korean team in a comeback win earlier in the day.

Italy won on its last arrow, when a score of eight would have meant a loss and a ten a gold. The arrow hit the line between the 9 and 10, and in archery, that meant 10 points — and the gold medal. Led by world No. 1 Brady Ellison, 23, the three-man American team also includes Jake Kaminski, 23, and Jacob Wukie, 26.
