RIO DE JANEIRO: Malaysia coach Lee Jae-hyung has defended his archers after Malaysia’s poor showing at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

Malaysia were way off target, with all their archers – national No. 1 Khairul Anuar Mohamed, Muhammad Akmal Nor Hasrin and Haziq Kamaruddin – wiped out in the men’s individual event at the Sambodromo on Wednesday.
