SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean Olympic archers will be hoping to avoid striking out in Rio after they announced plans to conduct open training sessions in a baseball dome to harden themselves for potentially hostile environments at the Aug. 5-21 Games.

The Nexen Heroes, a Korea Baseball Organisation (KBO) club based at Gocheok Sky Dome, said on Friday that the archers would be taking aim amid crowd noise and other sound effects before the two weekend games, according to Yonhap news agency.
