Khairul Anuar Mohamad v Brady Ellison – recurve men gold |Den Bosch 2019 Hyundai World Championships

so up now it's time to settle another world a title here in Den Bosch it's time for the recurve men's individual gold medal match Malaysia's chiral Anwar Mohammed goes up against Brady Ellison of the USA Muhammad came through the ranking around 16th Ellison well he's a man on fire at the moment he is came to be ranking as the number two seed Mohammed beat Williams of the USA in the quarterfinals and then Shana of Bangladesh in the semis Ellison took out Farouk our of Japan in the quarterfinals before beating Mero Nespoli comfortably in the semi-finals so this is it for gold in the recurve men's individual let's go back down to the range [Music] gentlemen here they come viral animal Mohammed followed out by Brady Ellison Mohammed is the world number 22 at 27 years old Ellison is the world number 330 years old the stats only point in one direction this is Ellison's to lose but stranger things have happened here as we look at the World Championship podiums it's all on the USA side he's won plenty of international medals Brady Ellison but he's never taken the individual world title he's 2019 who's here oh well all the pressure on him mean that chiral Anwar Muhammad has a chance there's coach PCE and who's who better to be in Brady's box than him they've been together for over a decade and he found Brady when he was actually a teenager shooting calm down yeah a Korean coaching abroad on both sides because this is lee ji hyung who is coaching in malaysia so two korean coaches behind at the shooting line one on the side of malaysia one on the side of the USA this for gold brady ellison will get us underway two eights in different spots on the target here so it finds the center of the target coach PCB said I control and you could see that focus in his eyes getting closer to the ten and a little adjustment from Malaysian $0.27 is the target Anwar go even closer attend to level things up ten is what Karl Anwar Muhammad of Malaysia gets and he stayed in touch with Grady Ellison 27 apiece one one in set points after the first set kind of just setting the tone for what's gonna be an amazing match I am so excited well a 10 apiece Ellison shooting his second arrow into 10 and 1 Mohammad needed a 10 to share the set points and that's just what he got he looks pretty calm and trying to just stay going through his process by the looks of things and trying to not to be over roared by the fact that he is in a shot of becoming a world champion I don't know how they're controlling their nerves right now this is the biggest metal on the line for them in in their careers here so I think it just speaks to their mental toughness and how much preparation they've actually put in before they've come to this day different story though for Ellison I think he he came here was knowing he's got a really good chance of taking the world title Mohammed perhaps very very pleased to be here Ellison will shoot first again with everything level in the gold medal match Alison took a bronze of the World Championships back in Turin in 2011 one of the years he dominated the World Cup circuit Mohammed has no pressure on him at all good shot from Brady Ellison hesitates just at the end there and he doesn't really follow through as well as Brady does yep well looks like he's dialed into the sentir a 29 for Brady Ellison Mohammed needs a 10 again to level the score in the set all right against it this is incredible stuff from the Malaysian athlete kneading tends to share the set points in the first two sets and he nails them it's two apiece after two sets I definitely thought the scores were gonna increase after that first send I think the guys were both just sighting in and getting a little bit comfortable but I'm not gonna be surprised if they continue to shoot tens at the rate that they're already going Ellison has never won an individual world title here he gets his eye in and shoots the X ring but this next one is right next door suggesting that he's really dialed in here so he's never won a World title himself the last USA champion was Rick McKinney in 1985 the last of his three world titles he was also the last USA Archer to make the final so as of making history of sorts right now for the USA but really he wants that gold medal and wondering now what's going through his head whether he thought that he would be ahead at this stage after two SEC's I spoke with cooks coach physically before this match and he said Brady's feeling very confident and very vulnerable and he's excited to have a good match Ellison will shoot first in the third set of the gold medal match here in Den Bosch yep a suggestion at the end of the previous set was that he dialed in that 10 confirms it Mohammed perhaps opening the door a little bit here Hamid an opportunity all square with one arrow to go in the third set below the back elbow there but that's his closest arrow so far he's got so much control over his bow and even though he had a slight wobble there he was able to pull it back together and shoot a perfect shot this is a gold medal match happening right in front of your eyes there is of the greatest order and has the greatest amount of drama that's in a row at the gold medal match of the World Championships it's absolutely incredible and what's making it more incredible is that Muhammad is shooting second through the shots second every time and he's happy to get 10 - level things up and he's done it this is the last 10 and there was a bit of a wobble from Muhammad as well but he puts it into the middle of the target his confidence must be sky-high now he's staying in touch with the forum man the season 3 set down three points each Brady Ellison he's in a real battle here he's trying to keep his focus and he'll shoot first at the start of the fourth set as these two men Jule it out for the gold medal [Music] yep he just needs to control his pressure and do the same so a ten to take the set points for Ellison yep and finally there's some space between these two athletes Muhammad can only get a 28 but again for the fourth set in a row his third arrow has gone into the 10 ring he's shot a 28 there but Ellison went one better with a 29 and collects both set points in the fourth set to go 5-3 up in this gold medal match Allison checking his arrows as we look back at those two tens he's having to shoot a very high quality match and if he does take this world title he'll be making history for himself and the USA but I think he's going to give his opponent a very warm handshake they're both just shooting amazing right now they're hitting the middle like it's like it's easy and it's definitely not under so much pressure I don't know how these guys are doing it but this is so much fun to watch yeah trying to keep his cool Aziz Ellison here the advantages with the American for the first time Muhammad will shoot first as he is trailing and Ellison has an advantage in points and he has the advantage that he'll know what he has to shoot to take the world title he just has to match Muhammad in this set [Music] can he apply some more pressure with a ten here sorry snatched him it'll do [Music] ten puts a little bit of pressure on the American and that has gone into the 8 a 9 here from Mohammed and he draws level onset points oh he's got a knowing he's got a 9 and listen can't get that 28 and we're going to be at 5 set points apiece and it's in dying to finish Ellison shooting two nines and an eighth in the fifth set when he had the whole thing in his hands it's five set points each Ellison has handed back points to Mohammad Anwar there with a twenty six out of a possible 30 his lowest score so far in this gold medal match but things all level so we're going to go to a shoot off what happens here in a shoot-off is quite simple Archer closest to the middle wins if both archers are going to shoot a 10 then they're gonna again yep then we go to score between at those arrows and then the measure this is an absolutely thrilling finale here in Den Bosch the add to the tension as always the targets are being replaced down at the end of the range as we can see weld Archery's Oz on the right replacing the target on target number two local crew doing the job on target number one this takes a little bit of time and obviously a bit of patience and some accuracy and then they've got to calibrate the measurement system so the scores can be calculated properly especially we need a measure and the crowd slow clapping to build the tension even what what earth is going through these athletes lines are for that crazy regulation gold middle man it was just such a good much athletes haven't been really making mistakes at least I don't think so but I I don't even know what to say this is this is crazy they must be under a lot of pressure but they need to calm themselves right now remember they know how to make great shots and execute it when the time comes the Hyundai archery World Champion in recurve men's individual is going to be decided in a shoot-off potentially just one arrow from each Archer Ellison from the USA against Muhammad from Malaysia Ellison will shoot his arrow first the pressure is on southern death and the gold medal at stake in the extra water shot from Brady Ellison Anwar Mohammed [Applause] boy oh boy did he give brilliance and the Battle of his life as Ellison claims his first world title he is the high on life world archery champion of 2000 of 19 he wanted it so badly this is what really really needed is what he wanted he's worked so hard for and he's done it today he's got a tear in his eye so is the coach the emotion pouring out he was put through the mill there by chiral Anwar Mohammed it was all him to lose it all the pressure was off Anwar in some respects and boy did Anwar performed so well it wasn't the elephant shot badly he shot really well and Anwar was right up to the mark in that match right the way through to the shoot off [Applause]
