2012 FITA Archery World Cup


The 2012 Archery World Cup was the seventh edition of the annual Archery World Cup, organised by the World Archery Federation. As 2012 was an Olympic year, the World Cup consisted of three, not four legs. The first leg was held on April 14–15 in Shanghai, China, the second leg on May 5–6 at Antalya Centennial Archery Field in Antalya, Turkey and the third leg on June 23–24 in Ogden, Utah, United States.

The best individual and mixed performers in each discipline over the three legs then joined host representatives in qualifying for the World Cup Finals, which were contested on September 22–23 in Tokyo, Japan.

After failing to be selected for the Korean Olympic team, Kim Woo-Jin defeated defending champion Brady Ellison in a one arrow shoot-off to win the men's individual recurve world cup final for the second time, while fellow Korean Ki Bo-Bae defeated top seed Deepika Kumari to add her first world cup victory to her Olympic title.

In the compound discipline, Braden Gellenthien and Jamie van Natta produced the second consecutive United States clean sweep, while the United States topped the nations ranking for the third consecutive year.
