PARIS — Chad archer Israel Madaye nearly missed the scoring rings completely on an errant shot but he hit a bullseye with South Korea's passionate fans. Madaye, a flag bearer for his central African nation, scored just one point of a possible 10 with one of his arrows during his debut Olympic match against South Korea's Kim Woo-jin on Tuesday. Scoring as little as one point is rare at this level of the sport. He bounced back and scored 25 points on three arrows in the third set and won over the South Korean fans. They posted encouraging messages on his Instagram account. He wrote back, Thank you Corea."
