France ended a six-year barren streak to win the men's team title at the Archery World Cup leg in Berlin today as South Korea proved utterly dominant in all other recurve finals.

The French claimed a first World Cup medal of the season and a first victory since 2011 in Antalya after a 5-2 win over The Netherlands in the team final at Lilli-Henoch Sportplatz.

Olympic silver medallist Jean-Charles Valladont, Pierre Plihon and Thomas Chirault trailed 3-1 after two sets before fighting back superbly. 

A change in order proved key as they scored two sets of 57 points to reverse the match and win 5-3.

Top seeds South Korea beat Russia 5-3 in the bronze medal match.
