I've never been to a world championship nor any large competition yet so I was just wondering which is more more highly valued a team medal or an individual medal? I know in gymnastics the all-around individual championship is the biggest honor, followed by the all-around team placement, and lastly the individual apparatus medals. So how would you rank the world archery championship medals?

team (same sex)
team (mixed sexes)
individual

Personally, I think a either team medal would mean more to me than the individual medal because I would forever be sharing the victory with a fellow countryman.

Individual would probably seem more prestigious because your accomplishment was based solely on you, though, if you were partnered with someone who was not so good, getting high ranked with that person says a lot about how much you can carry on your plate.
