Max Green was the Australian archer competing in the London 2012 Olympics. He had been training hard in the lead up to the Games and was considered to be one of the top contenders for gold. His performance in the qualification phase was outstanding, but his performance in the final was nothing short of extraordinary.
The final began at a slow pace as Green and his opponent, Korean archer Lee Ji-Sung, both shot below their usual averages. As the match progressed, it became clear that this was going to be a battle between two of the best archers in the world. Every shot counted and the score margin remained narrow. As the match went into the last round the score was tied 48-48, with Green having the final shot.
Green had a single arrow left and had to make the shot of his life to stand a chance of winning gold. As the crowd fell silent Green took aim and released his arrow. It soared through the air and landed dead center in the 10-point inner ring. His shot netted him a perfect score of 10 and a come-from-behind victory. To this day, it stands as the highest scoring shot ever recorded in competitive archery.
But what made Green’s shot so special? Many factors contributed to its success. Firstly, his composure was exemplary. Green remained calm and focussed the entire match and was able to block out the pressure of the crowd. Secondly, his technique was flawless. Green held his form throughout the shot and had the perfect balance to execute a clean release. Finally, his consistency was impressive. Not only had he hit the 10-point inner ring, but he had done so consistently throughout the match.
Green’s perfect 10 was the stuff of legends and he was rightly rewarded with gold. To this day, it stands as one of the greatest shots in the history of archery.
