Currently, only Brown is guaranteed a shot at Olympic glory.If the women finish first, second or third in Turkey, then Park Lorig - a six-time Olympian - will be allowed to join Brown in Rio.Those three women finished first, second and third after the final stage of U.S. Olympic trials May 30 in Florida.In competition last year, the men earned the right to send three archers to the Olympics.
