Ki Bo Bae, Choi Misun, Brady Ellison, Kim Woojin, Sara Lopez, Demir Elmaagacli, Reo Wilde and Sergio Pagni have all won the World Cup Finals before – and this year in the seventh year in a row in which Brady Ellison has qualified for the top-eight shootout. Sara Lopez has won the last two, and has the chance to make it three in a row in Denmark.
There is also a mixed team competition that sets up a match between the top ranked pair of the year and the host nation. Colombia will contest the this in the compound division, with Stephan Hansen returning as one half of the host’s mixed team to defend his gold from 2015, alongside Tanja Jensen. Korea will shoot against Jager and Weiss for the hosts in the recurve mixed team event.
