Romania (0 wins, 3 losses, 0 draws) is still looking for some measure of success at the Paris Olympics. Romania held their own against Croatia on Thursday, losing 11-8, but were able to make up for it despite being at a 6.5-goal disadvantage.

Italy (3-0-0), on the other hand, is unbeaten, with an average margin of victory of just 3.0 goals per game (GPG), including a narrow 11-9 win over Montenegro on Thursday that they failed to close out as 3.5-goal favorites.

KIM WOOJIN (+105) is on his way to winning the gold medal in the men’s individual event. He is the best archer in the world — South Korean archers regularly top all competitions.
