The women's team final of the 2007 International Archery Tournament ended at Beijing's Olympic Green Archery Field on August 21, with ROK winning the crown after an easy victory of 218-211 over Russia.

The ROK team consisting of Sung Hyun Park, Eun Young Choi and Tuk Young Lee was widely recognized as the strongest combination in this tournament. Leading in the ranking round with overwhelming superiority, they successively eliminated Uzbekistan, Ukraine and Georgia in the following elimination round and beat Russia by a wide margin of seven points in the final to win the women's team event. Judging by their performance in this tournament, ROK invariably clinched an easy win over all the opponents they had met since the beginning of the tournament.

The performance of the Russian team consisting of Tatiana Boroday, Victoria Dubanova and Natalya Erdyniyeva was about up to the average. They ranked seventh in the ranking round, but managed to give an outstanding performance in the following elimination round by successively eliminating Japan and Poland and edging out the USA by a narrow margin of one point to enter the final. In their final against ROK, they were beaten due to inferior strength and had to be content with a siver medal.

In the semifinal between the USA and Georgia, the American team, made up of Khatuna Lorig, Jennifer Nichols and Karen Scavotto, beat the latter 211-210 by a narrow margin of one point to win the bronze medal. Georgia finished fourth.
