Beijing 2017 World Archery Para Championships – Day 4

Today was the first day of competition.

Marek led us off in the Recurve event at 08:30.

The Compound event started after lunch, at 13:00.

I was on target 4B, Kev was on target 5B and Jono on target 6B.

 

I shot a new Personal Best which qualified me at 44 out of 74 competitors.

Then it was on to the Matchplay rounds. Here I am lined up with my first Matchplay opponent waiting for the round to start.

For those that don’t already know Matchplay is an elimination round, where pairs of archers each shoot 15 arrows and the loser of each pair is eliminated.  I made it through my first 2 rounds of matchplay which means that I’ll be starting in the finals on Friday with the 1/16 round.

I don’t get tomorrow off though – the three of us will be shooting the Compound team event tomorrow afternoon at 16:00!
