Olympic Snapshot
Sharp-Shooting Kid Wins Two Golds
Justin Huish Exhausted from the thrill of his individual gold medal the day before, Justin Huish (pictured) still came through to help the U.S. men's team win the gold medal. On his last three arrows, Huish, a 21-year-old who shoots with his ponytail hanging from under a backward cap, erased a three-point deficit for the United States, which went on to beat South Korea and win its first team gold medal.


Missed German Shot Gives S. Korea Gold
Imagine aiming for a gold medal and instead almost missing the entire target. That's what happened to German archer Cornelia Pfohl, and it helped South Korea stretch its championship streak in the women's team event at the Olympics. Germany led, 162-161, with nine arrows left in the gold medal match, when Pfohl shot a 1, the outermost ring on the target. The mistake opened the door for South Korea, which then took control of the match.
