Archery WA World Championships 2023

First gold ever in any recurve event on the women's side for Germany. Also first gold in any recurve event since 1987 for Germany. Too bad that the Netherlands "messed it up", otherwise we could have had the first all-european podium since 1955.

Great job by "our" french coach. I hereby declare that no german federation is allowed to hire german coaches anymore ...

In all seriousness: I wish the german swimming/athletics federation would get some (remotely) top class foreign coaches. I also wonder how every country in the world seems to do better in fencing than former powerhouse Germany. I (with all due respect) don't see how countries like Egypt, Hungary or Estonia keep performing better (given their talent pool/economic strength/tradition).

This was the most likely scenario, but no less sad. Netherlands in 4th place. And they probably won't qualify for the Olympics anymore, because there are so many other, better countries. The Dutch archers rose above themselves on Tuesday, but are still empty-handed. Very sad that WA made such a mistake in communication, but the rules are rules, that's how it is.

 

Hopefully we can qualify one archer at the men's side on Sunday!

I rather would have a double 6-0 over a defeat with the smallest margin in the set twice, with a total of three arrows just on the line. The only other real chance will be the universal olympic qualifier (I don't see them hold off both GB and Italy at the continental), but some luck is necessary there. At least there is one more spot there :cry:

    • I remember a couple of years during the athletics worlds in Oregon one of the British athletes wasn’t able to enter the US due to visa issues. I feel like something similar will happen in LA, and I don’t envisage Trump succumbing to an appeal to let an unfortunate athlete in.
    • thats true. If anyone observes the US election map then he can see that Harris dominated in NorthEast states and the Eastern Coast, exactly where the big economic centres are based (New York, New Jersey, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco etc).   Also what i observe regarding politics in western europe is that Socialdemocratic/centre-left parties have become extremely pro-market and even neo-liberal and some traditional right parties have become euroscepticist and protectionist, exactly the opposite as it was in 70s-80s
    • How about this?   "2026 Winter Olympics Cancelled after USA Withdraw After US President is Banned From Italy Due To His Criminal Convictions"  
    • Yeah, Trump is very pro-Olympics. I imagine he's pretty excited that he will get to open the games   Visas for some nations have always been tough and I do imagine some qualified individuals will fail to enter the United States (regardless who is President), but the IOC will likely sweep it under the rug.
    • This is reaching the climax now. If Khelif's lawyers take this to court then they have to believe they can win the case. If the case gets quietly dropped before it goes to court you can assume they have no confidence in winning
