Italians are better than Americans at other things too.

Italy beat United States by a single point to win archery team Olympic gold in dramatic fashion at Lord's.
Michele Frangilli, Marco Galiazzo and Mauro Nespoli built up a four-point lead, but the US hit back to halve the halfway deficit entering the last end.
The US then set Italy a target of 219 and with their final arrow the Italians scored the 10 they needed for victory.
 "The USA team really wanted that gold but they just weren't good enough on the day. The Italian team's depth of experience really pulled them through when they needed it. To have shot that 10 under that pressure, Michele Frangilli is going to be the hero of the Italian team."

Americans Jacob Wukie, Brady Ellison, Jake Kaminski piled on the pressure in the final end but the Italians kept their cool to win 219-218, with Frangilli keeping his cool to seal victory.
