World Cup 3

[James Park]

World Cup number 3 for 2008 will be in Turkay.
The Elite Compound Program Committee is sending a full men's team (Pat Coghlan, Robert Timms, and Craig Tyson) and a full women's team (Kellie Holmes, Erika Anear and Hannah Anderson) to this one.

Astute observers will have noted by now that the approach we are taking is:
- Try to get either Pat or Rob into the final.
- Get a number of the next tier of male archers (Brendan, Bryce, Craig and Zoran) experience from attending one of the events. As well as assisting those archers to better understand major events, it also provides additional incentive to our top tier (Pat, Rob and Clint) to keep their scores up (otherwise they will be overtaken).
- Get our top ladies experience from attending an event. Some of our ladies have attended top level events in the past (Kellie, Erika, and Madeleine, from those we are sending to the World Cups) and some have had no experience of this (Fiona and Hannah).
- Try to win a few medals so that we can justify additional funding.

We continue to give our archers a very strong message that we want to see FITA scores in excess of 1380.
I am sure you will agree that since we started the program we have seen:
- Our compounders putting in a lot of effort.
- Much higher scores.

One step we have taken quite deliberately is to encourage practice of the team event. We did this at the Nationals and it will be a part of each workshop we run.

[James Park]

Our team leaves for Turkey next Saturday. They are shooting well.

[Enlightened One]

Go team!

Have a blast - you'll do us proud.

[tropicalshot]

congrats to all those that made the team

[dbjac]

Good luck guys! Shoot well, and have fun.

[Coghlan]

Due to family reasons I will be unable to attend WC3.

Good luck to those attending, and thanks to the Compound Committee for understanding.

I will look forward to WC4 :-)

Pat

[dbjac]

I'd imagine too soon to have announced a replacement? So, no mens team?

[Drift_Puncher]

Sad to hear pat, hope everything works out ok.

I am the 3rd person, have you not seen my shirt!! :P hah

[James Park]

As Pat noted, he will not be able to attend WC3.
Clint will be attending at (very) short notice, hence we will still have a men's team (and it will still be pretty competitive).
Thankyou to Mark Pepper for the very constructive work in managing to get Clint on flights when no seats were available (we haven't told Clint that it is surfing on top of the plane yet).

[Drift_Puncher]

does this mean i am not the 3rd member but again the 4th :(

[grantwomack]

does this mean i am not the 3rd member but again the 4th :(
I hear 2Dogs can help you out getting used to that position! ;)

[frommy]

Sorry to hear that, Pat.

Well done Clint for stepping up and ending the sabbatical.

I see that USA are not entering a compound team this event.

[frommy]

Whoops, forgot to add my well wishes for everyone to shoot well, recurve and compound, and enjoy, particularly those for whom this will be a new experience.

[Craig R]

Sorry to hear Pat. Hope things work out ok. Family first!

Good luck to the team and welcome aboard Clint.

Go Mens Compound Team Mathews/CX Nano Pro;) :D

[whiz]

I see that USA are not entering a compound team this event.

I heard that they changed their minds when they found out Clint was coming...

I am sure that Clare will agree with me that in order to maximise their team score they will need to shoot the team event in an order such that they get an orderly progression in bow colour from blue through blue/black to black. Any other approach would seem to be quite wrong.
They need to let the other teams know that they have done much careful experimentation and testing of this over the past month or so (which is quite true) and definitely shown it to be the case. This will have a useful effect on the other teams as they will inevitably have turned up with improperly considered colour coordination and will have no opportunity to change it at the event.

Did the last few trials you've conducted definitely show that accuracy (blue) was preferable at the start of the rotation then Jim?

[James Park]

Did the last few trials you've conducted definitely show that accuracy (blue) was preferable at the start of the rotation then Jim?
My understanding is that the ladies definitely did find that to be so and that the orderly progression certainly resulted in the highest score.

[Coghlan]

A pretty full team I believe left today for Turkey, good luck to all.

Apparently it's really windy there at the moment.

A shame Pat isn't there then !
However, a good representaion.
Will be keeping an eye on youtube's "archery tv";) .

[2Dogs]

Will be keeping an eye on youtube's "archery tv

No we won't, because nothing will turn up on it until 4 weeks after the event ;)

[Marcus]

Hush 2Dogs, that would have been 4 weeks of Ozzy staring at youtube getting nothing back.

[2Dogs]

That's true! :D

Actually 4 weeks later while watching it, we'll no doubt hear how well Pat Coghlan did at the event ;) :D

[NOCK HUNTER]

"Peter" Coghlan :D

[Craig R]

No we won't, because nothing will turn up on it until 4 weeks after the event ;)

4 weeks!:confused:

I dont think our blokes (Mens Compound) bronze medal match against GB in stage 2 is on Archery TV yet??

[renae farrugia]

Apparently it's really windy there at the moment.

Well i guess the Women's compound team would be used to that. That's like the only weather we get at most clubs in Victoria. LOL

Despite that Goodluck girls
And goodluck to the mens team :thumb: :archer:

[James Park]

Clint, Erika and Hannah feature in the pictures from day 0.

[Marcus]

Is it me, or is that cameraman struggling to keep his camera level?

[Steve B]

I think he is not struggling Marcus I think he can't keep it straight

[whiz]

I just like that I can recognise people that I've met from other countries at archery events now. Can't wait for a few more photos to come up. Also knowing that Archery TV will be on youtube eventually makes the entire event so much more real. Even if it does take a month to turn up.

[Marcus]

If my maths are right then Compound Men start at 4:45pm Eastern time and the recurve men/compound women at 9:45pm

[frommy]

Also they are only about 6 hours behind us so we get the results at a decent time.

I just had a look at this, Marcus, and in fact they are 7 hours behind us.

[Marcus]

I just had a look at this, Marcus, and in fact they are 7 hours behind us.
yep, but my maths above were based on 7 hours as well. ;)

[frommy]

I could not find any time schedule on the website, only the same schedule as you had previously posted. The beauty of inside information. ;)

[Marcus]

Nah the beauty of downloading the right files. ;)

The womens compound has 30 entries

World Rankings for them are

1: Bouillot FRA
2: Van Natta USA
3 Loginova RUS
4: Kazantseva RUS
5: Buden CRO
6: Salvi ITA
8: Goncharova RUS
10: Simpson GBR
11: Soemod DEN
15: Hunt GBR
17: Gales GBR
20: Guedez VEN
22: Flores VEN
23: Laurila FIN
26: Marcen SLO
28: Bolotova RUS
31: Dos Santos BRA
34: Zorman CRO
60: Anear AUS
95: Sudano VEN
98: Kucukkayalat TUR
106: Huage DEN
185: Tzanoglou GRE
222: Zempou GRE
280: Anderson AUS

Remaining are unranked. So a pretty tough field with most of the top 10 competing.

[James Park]

Very strong ladies teams from Russia and GB.

[crystaldawn]

Good luck team.... and have fun....

Just wondering is there any Recurve teams over there ?

[James Park]

They seem to be a bit slow in getting the scores for the first end on line. (Assuming it has actually started).

[Marcus]

5 ends in
1: Sitar 291
2: Elzinga 291
8: Timms: 288
11: Freeman 287
39: Clifton 277
60: Tyson 270

[dilligaf]

It certainly a tight comp when there is only 4 points between 1st and 14th

[2Dogs]

Nice and Windy over there.

Grays bow has been misplaced by the airline, hope he gets it returned in time.

I really hope he gets it back soon.

Still no scores yet, it's been an hour. :mad:

I really wish FITA would put some effort into quicker results.

Looks like Fn Clifton's Lanny DVD's got scratched again :D

[frommy]

That was a really nice score by Drift_Puncher in the second bracket. 38th (333) in the 1st, then 6th in the 2nd (347) to put him in 26th.

But what are these guys from Holland smoking? :confused:

Craig did bloody well as well in pulling back on the second bracket, with Clint and Rob being consistent.

Go team Oz.

That's great work for the girls to shoot so well in such a major event - excellent experience, and also fantastic for Hannah to perform so strongly in her first International major!

:thumb:

What results do we have for the guys ATM?

[James Park]

I notice that Craig has a chance for significant fame - his first round match is against Morten Boe from Norway (a pretty good shot).

[Craig R]

I'm sure Craig will give it a red hot go against Boe.

Good luck to all the guys and gals:thumb:

I noticed that Kellie is still in the elimination round. And the girls are still in the teams event.

Is this correct??

I thought maybe because Kellie was crook that was it for her and the girls team.

If not, kick ar se!

[Marcus]

I can't see why that would knock them out of the teams, just rank them lower than they should be. Hope she can shoot. More importantly I hope she's alright.

[Ed]

According to the website they have been drawn against Turkey on 30 May so they are certainly still in. Let's hope Kellie comes good - they have a real chance.:thumb:

Not a good time for Park to shoot a 106.

[apexrob]

RM/CW will be starting in around 30mins, i'm just about to head down to the grounds and watch.

[2Dogs]

More like your heading to the Pool for a Bat :rofl:

[2Dogs]

Erika has a pretty good draw...time to take advantage :thumb:

Hannah's first match will be tough, but I'm sure with "God" on her side she will prevail :D

[crystaldawn]

Not a good time for Park to shoot a 106.

It is a pity there was no Aussie ladies recurve team given the chance to get some experience over seas with the olympic team not able to go.. we may have surprised a few people....... there were 4 of us who DID Qualify for OLYMPIC selection....we all shot over the 630...

[2Dogs]

Why waste $ on a bunch of stick flinging chicks, when we have much radder Compound guys we can waste it on :rofl:

[Debstar]

Why waste $ on a bunch of stick flinging chicks, when we have much radder Compound guys we can waste it on :rofl:

when you have a go at whos wasting money on what.. remember how hard it was in the past to get ANY funding for international championships.. i myself has spent a LOT of money representing my country numerous of times and please before anyone jumps down my throat i don't regret any of it... i trained hard... (and played hard) i didnt have any "trinket trips" to expose me to international tournaments.. i did the trials and qualified and made the teams..and spent MY money getting there..

Yes things are very different these days.. i wish i had the opportunities current archers have.. doesn't mean i don't wish them well.. the AIS have provided us ALL sticks and wheels with much needed funding and support.. but for now sticks are still the Olympic discipline like it or not.. so lets all get behind our current team and our reserve team.. both should be respected and represented in upcoming trials and championship..

Where are the Reserve team for the world cup? both woman and men? looks like we may need them?? whose fault is it that they are not there?? why where they not??

At the end of all this.. i don't begrudge either discipline for representation for our country.. however i do wonder how the money is distributed.. and as a paying member i have a right too... as does everyone else..

i know this was a "lighthearted" post.. but i do know personally how hard it is to train, and if you are not a fully funded archer and its your dream to represent your country you should be given all the support that is out there..

[Marcus]

Ah Erika's out 108-113. :(
Well done! Alot of the scores were way down that round.

[frommy]

Well done ladies. :thumb:

[2Dogs]

Well that's tonights entertainment over.

Can the Girls do a Team Event with one Member out?

[Marcus]

I don't think they can. :(

[primal]

yeah well done

[frommy]

Hey, don't overlook the fact the Sky is into the quarters.

:thumb:

[frommy]

Matt out in the first round, but both Michael and Sky went through to the 1/8 round, where Sky beat Michael.

Next Kim (AUS) v Im (KOR) and Kim (KAZ) v Park (KOR) very confusing. Plus the other two matches.

Well done indeed Michael, and go for it Sky.

:thumb:

[2Dogs]

That's a bitch about the teams event.

I couldn't see a problem where the two of them rotated and took on the other Girls Full Team

[Marcus]

It strikes me that at major events such as Commonwealth Games and Olympics a reserve should be on hand. In Madrid Madaleine went down just before the ranking round, luckily the teams consisted of 4 shooters then. Now if one goes down the teams are done. Worth serious consideration given the cost of these events.

[frommy]

Sky went down to Im 110 to 111. :(

[apexrob]

I know they've tried to get away from this at World Champs, where you're now only allowed three entrants per country (not sure if you can swap on the day or not).

Are they following through with reducing the number of members in team events down to 2?

I think you can swap out a team member pretty close to the start of shooting.
It's probably something that FITA need to look at carefully. If you get 2-3 people forced out and lose 3 teams that's a massive chunk of competition gone.

[Eberbachl]

Nice shooting everyone :thumb:

Especially good work from Rob, and also from Hannah and Erika for putting in a nice solid showing.

We're looking good for the future.

The way it stands at the moment is that only 3 members can be used. The members must be announced prior to the Qualification Round. They must take part in the QR and cannot be changed. (Article 7.5.3.2)

It's interesting that the Compound Girls have been drawn to shoot against Turkey even though Kellie did not actually take part in the QR - perhaps they are not using the Olympic Round Team rules for the World Cup.

[Erica Nigol]

well done to all that went, :thumb:
you did us pround, Go AUSSIE

ditto - wtg to everyone who shot. special congrats to hannah and erika :)

[Craig R]

Well the guys are out first round:(

Lost to Slovenia 226 - 217

Apparently very windy.

Bad luck fellas

[2Dogs]

Well.....at least we all get to bed early tonight.

Matchplay is still Sh1te!

Sad indeed whats going to happen if something should go wrong and they cant attend.

[James Park]

Sad indeed whats going to happen if something should go wrong and they cant attend.
It does of course depend upon what the objective is.
My guess is that at present the objective is to get the Olympic team practice and not to worry about the others. In that respect the current approach was just fine.
That is: why devote time to others when it is the Olympics that matters at the moment - no good reasons to do so (and a quite significant cost).

[Brocky]

Totally agree Jim, however why not send the 2 Olympic girls with an additional girl if that is the case, giving them as much exposure to the competition that they will be facing in China.

[2Dogs]

Nah, give the $$$ to the Guys :), at least they have a chance of winning something :D

[Marcus]

Totally agree Jim, however why not send the 2 Olympic girls with an additional girl if that is the case, giving them as much exposure to the competition that they will be facing in China.
Because they were injured. Also no point sending a third girl as they won't be in teh teams anyway.
Not a development year for the recurve squad. Too expensive these trips to just send people.

[James Park]

Brocky,
There will only be two girls in China, so the team event is irrelevant for them. They may just as well practice spectating.

[2Dogs]

Shhh Brocky hasn't worked that whole Olympic thing out yet ;)

[Brocky]

Because they were injured
Now that makes sense. Well lets hope they do do the right thing if needed ;)

[Brocky]

Shhh Brocky hasn't worked that whole Olympic thing out yet ;)
