As an unexpected downpour swept through the archery competition at the ongoing Gwangju 2025 Hyundai World Archery Championships, players quickly took shelter under umbrellas designed to mirror the iconic target’s colorful rings.
The eight-day tournament, which began on Sept. 5 in Gwangju, runs through Friday. This year’s championships feature over 700 participants, including 501 athletes from 76 countries.
