The Americans took advantage of two 8s by the Indians to finish the third end of six arrows at 56-54 (168-167, India's favour). The Indians thereafter seemed to have a lapse in concentration in the final end of six arrows as they shot three 8s which enabled the Americans to go ahead 54-51 for a final score of 221-219 in their favour. This was India's second successive silver medal in this tournament. Last year the Indian team, consisting of Mangal Singh, Rai and Talukdar, lost to Italy in the final.
