West Henrietta, NY – Team USA dominated the competition at the World Archery Championships in Mexico City, Mexico, as Scott Archery and Custom Bow Equipment teammates Kris Schaff and Braden Gellenthein each brought home medals for the United States.
Gellenthein, ranked fourth globally by World Archery, secured a bronze medal finish in the men's compound competition, easily overthrowing France's Pierre-Julien Deloche (147-143).
"Shooting with Kris and Steve (Anderson) for the team round was incredible. These guys are consummate pros and the communication, focus and friendship that we displayed was equal to the best I've ever shared on any team," Gellenthein said. "We never had a poor match because we always stepped up for one another and that's what it takes to win a World Championship."
Schaff, Gellenthein and Anderson faced off against Italy in the gold medal match and bested the team by a large seven-point margin (228-235). This gold medal win marks the seventh USA compound world title in 12 of the last World Archery Championships.
"Shooting for Team USA was a huge blessing," Schaff said. "To be wearing the flag on your shirt and knowing everyone considers you a threat to win is a huge accomplishment for the country."
"Braden Gellenthein and Kris Schaff, individually, are as tough as they come in competitive archery. Together with Steve Anderson, it's no wonder they were able to capture a team Gold Medal!" said Darrin Christenberry, Pro Staff Manager for Scott Archery and Custom Bow Equipment. "It goes without saying that Braden continues to prove he is one of the best in the world!"
