Just got an SMS from David - they have arrived in Istanbul having left Canberra at lunch time yesterday ... only waiting for the flight to Antalya now! :roll:

Midnight Express always come to mind when Istanbul is mentioned :o :D

You're assuming one reads Flame's posts - I get confused when I see his name associated with words instead of emoticons, and switch off! 8) :D

keep an eye out for results later tonight on the web.

oops make that Wednesday night (still a beginner)

[Clare Barnes]

keep an eye out for results later tonight on the web.

According to the only info I can find on the site AUS has not even entered... :-?

this has to be the worst site I have come across :(

[Marcus]

So you have not been to AV's yet? :D

[Flame]

:rofl:

Gave up ages ago

I have plans :D

[Clare Barnes]

Progress - there is now a program at:

http://www.turkisharchery.org/en/37.html

Interestingly they say the qualification round is a FITA 70m Round whereas the FITA calendar say it is a FITA.... :-?

Hey NSW - perhaps you can do your FITA 25m Indoor without changing anything? :D

[Flame]

29% awful must have done the trick :D

[frommy]

The "awful" % has gone up since my visit. Still nothing coming through.

[Flame]

I got this when I hit the awful button to many times

http://www.users.on.net/wwwsys/Images/Forum/error.jpg

:D

[frommy]

I think that means that "emoticons are not accepted", but my Turkish is a bit rusty. 8)

[Flame]

No it says frommy was here and broke it :D

[MerlinApexDylan]

Those wankers haven't even got any photo's going. :lol: That website is horrible. :x :o :P :-?

[Aarleks]

Its a shame. Last year the website wasn't too bad.

[unclepete]

Tough audience.

The content is pretty light, but the site itself (structure, layout, etc) is OK, which means I can find what I want without too much effort (or the empty page where it's suposed to be).

I'm only interested in the results, anyway. And maybe some pics.

[Harald]

Not quite sure how it works but at the moment it looks like
Recurve Men was won by Milad Vaziri Iran with 285 points before
Arshar Petrosyan with 2000 points and Dimitri Sordia had to splitt 3.d with three of himself with 0 points. The rest of them all got 0 points so I guess it must have been mighty windy, or mybe the first two is the only one that have shot yet. Bet's that ranking order gonna change..... :roll: :roll: :roll:

[frommy]

One of the girls shot 5000. :roll:

Didn't know Clint was shooting it.

That should scare the **** out of most of the competition.... :D

[frommy]

Thanks Robert. We have known that for the past 3 hours. :o

Interesting to see that Valeva (Italy) is not competing.

Great to see that Clint has stayed on in Europe to give Dijan some competition.

Now bring on the mens recurve scores, soon, please. :(

[fred]

Tim 7th
Dave 12th
Simon 62nd

Team 7th

Well done :P

[Clare Barnes]

Tim 7th
Dave 12th
Simon 62nd

Team 7th

Well done :P

If you're getting the same pages on the Turkish site as I am I would question those being the final results....

Okay, there is a possibility that the weather was **** and they shot atrociously for the individual scores to all be less than 500 :o , but the teams results list shows AUS finishing 7th :D ...... and 12th :-? .....and ......you guessed it.....62nd :roll: !!!

[Flame]

Hope Dave rings home :D

[grantwomack]

Yep, atrocious weather!!!

[Clare Barnes]

It was 40 degrees and humid on the practice day, so blue skies and no wind are not always a guarantee of great shooting weather.....but 500 still seems just a touch low! :wink:

[frommy]

I agree Clare. Something wrong here. The women all shot in the 600's.

[Robert de Bondt]

Thanks Robert. We have known that for the past 3 hours. :o

May be you should have posted some then :fist: :D

[unclepete]

It's about 2am there, so I don't expect that site to change for a while...

Anybody have alternative sources of information?

Dave: 644
Simon: 614

Good positions to be in. Though Simon seems to need a boost of confidence or something going into the games.

[frommy]

What about Frangilli at 53? :roll:

[James Park]

A ranking position of a power of 2 or one more than a power of 2 is not as good as one away from a power of 2. It means that pretty soon you get to shoot against a very high ranked archer.
For example, A ranking of 64 means that you get number 1 straight away. A ranking of 32 or 33 means that 2nd round you get to compete with number 1. A ranking of 16 or 17 means that 3rd round you get number 1. A ranking of 8 or 9 means that 4th round you get number 1.
Now, in order to win the thing you do indeed need to knock off these top archers eventually, but it is best to be away from them as long as possible, so that you get as high a finish as possible, and also so that there is the greatest chance possible that someone else will have a fluke and knock them off.

[Clare Barnes]

What about Frangilli at 53? :roll:

Finishing 4th in the World Field Champs just last week is nothing to ignore though ...... he now has a whole month to get back into Target archery.

[Clare Barnes]

I think they are on their 10th end
So they should end with:
Tim: 650
Dave: 644
Simon: 614

Pretty good calls I must admit...glad they kept shooting consistently! :D

Tim 645
David 645
Simon 614

[Marcus]

So Jim, Dave landed in the right spot then?

[MerlinApexDylan]

Good positions to be in. Though Simon seems to need a boost of confidence or something going into the games.

What about Frangilli at 53? :roll:

I'm an Canadian, Australian, Korean.. and sometimes American archery fan. I could care less where Frangilli is placed. :lol: :P

[frommy]

[quoteI'm an Canadian, Australian, Korean.. and sometimes American archery fan. I could care less where Frangilli is placed. :lol: :P[/quote]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Jim, so am I correct in that this will comprise the next round:

Barnes v Fisseux of France
Cuddihy v Papapanagiotou of Greece
Fairweather v McGlyn of USA

Brian

[Clare Barnes]

So Jim, Dave landed in the right spot then?

Coming 9th you shoot against:

56, 24, 8, 1, 4, 2 assuming you win them all ....

Coming 11th you shoot against:

54, 22, 6, 3, 2, 1 again assuming you win them all ....

Depends when you're ready for the top guy....or whether the top ranking round archers are really the top matchplay ones....

...and whether the better ones get knocked out along the way....

...basically there is lots of luck involved wherever you finish, but you need to be shooting very well to just reach the top 8...or have HEAPS of luck! :o

[Clare Barnes]

Jim, so am I correct in that this will comprise the next round:

Barnes v Fisseux of France
Cuddihy v Papapanagiotou of Greece
Fairweather v McGlyn of USA

Brian

And

Deonne against Lewis of Sth Africa

Jo-Ann against Esebua of Georgia

Clint has a bye

[MerlinApexDylan]

Go Aussie girls. 8)

[Clare Barnes]

No scores known, but I gather Jo-Ann lost her first match and Deonne lost her second one.

[James Park]

So Jim, Dave landed in the right spot then?
No, 8 or 9 are not as attractive as 7 or 10.

[Clare Barnes]

Tim and David won their first matches, Simon lost his against the American, McGlyn.

Later: Tim and David both through to 1/8 round (last 16).

Still later: Both Tim and David join Clint in their respective 1/4 finals tomorrow. :D

[DrRalph]

Excellent!

[Killjoy]

Go! Go! Go!

[MerlinApexDylan]

Tim and Dave are on Fire. Good to see, I hope they both medal. To bad about Deonne. All americans on the mens side are now out and I saw only one on the womens side. Nichols.

[Aarleks]

Yeah, nice results so far. Great to see two of our people through to the 1/4s.

Go Tim and Dave!!! 8) 8)

[Clare Barnes]

http://www.turkisharchery.org/en/116,Eng_17_Team_Recurve_Men.html

An interesting way to list the teams results - we must remember to send more than 3 archers in future! :-?

Using only the top 3 scores from each country I think AUS finished about 6th.

[unclepete]

Still a good showing by the Aus team :D

Go for it, guys!!

[Clare Barnes]

Tim lost 113 - 115 (huge score to lose with :( ) to Van Alten and finished 5th overall.

David beat Tsyrempilov but then lost to Frangilli in semi, so is against Zabrodsky later today in the bronze medal match. :D

Clint is in the compound gold medal match! :D

[frommy]

What about Frangilli at 53? :roll:

Finishing 4th in the World Field Champs just last week is nothing to ignore though ...... he now has a whole month to get back into Target archery.

Clare,

It is a pity he did not take the whole month. :wink:

Well done Tim. Go David, and Clint.

[Aarleks]

Well done Tim! :D

C'mon Dave and Clint!! 8) 8)

Excellent results for Australia yet again. :beer_drink:

[Clare Barnes]

Well done Tim! :D

YEAH!!!!!!!!! Good Job Dave!!!!!!! Well Done... :D

Fantastic Shooting Dave :D

[Clare Barnes]

Clint silver :smilecolros:

Apparently weather was atrocious during medal matches with wind, rain and lightening during bronze medal ones. :o

[MerlinApexDylan]

Great going Dave and Clint, would have been nice to see Tim Medal also. :) :o

[MerlinApexDylan]

The team ranking is a joke. :lol: :fist:

[Clare Barnes]

The team ranking is a joke. :lol: :fist:

It's a world ranking event so I assume it will be done properly before they actually post the draw! :-?

[Axilla]

You need some sleep, Clare :)

[Aarleks]

Well done Clint and Dave. That is fantastic. :D :D :bday:

Very nice work! 8) Two medals for the country in one day. Brilliant stuff. :bday: :bday: :bday:

[CMB50]

Well done to Dave, Clint and the entire team. Another nice warm up before Athens.

Even later: Beat The Netherlands, now against Turkey in the gold medal match later tonight/early morning tomorrow. :D
