ANTALYA, Turkey (AA) – A Turkish bow woman is bringing home the gold from the 2018 Archery World Cup.
Recurve archer Yesim Bostan won the gold on Friday during the second leg of the competition in Antalya, a Mediterranean resort city.
Over 360 athletes from around 50 countries are competing in the seven-day tourney, which ends tomorrow.
Bostan bested U.S. archer Paige Pearce Gore, 147-145.
“I had the honor of waving our flag and singing our national anthem,” said Bostan.
“This was something I really wanted.”
Tomorrow, a Turkish team will vie with Taiwan for the bronze.
