Unruh must be sitting at home crying right now. Can't believe that Peters made the final, Unruh had a huge chance this week. Overall crazy results. Gazoz was the only "expected" individual medalist. Valencia (and maybe D'Almeida) winning a medal wasn't really shocking either, but apart from that the results were very unexpected and probably won't be repeated next year.

Peters wasn't expected to make the podium, but the result wasn't totally unexpected (He was 5th at the WC in Medellin) and IMO his world ranking (#31) is not reflective of his current level. Archery is a very unpredictable sport, anyone can beat anyone.

That's archery for you kinda, although this tournament has been pretty crazy even for archery standards.

4 out of the 8 individual semifinalists are from the Americas, 2 from Europe (if you include Gazoz) and 2 from Asia. Europe might win both golds despite only having 2 out of the 8 individual semifinalists. Always interesting to see the difference between archery and shooting. India (so far), China, the US, Hungary and Norway are doing much better in shooting than in archery. The Netherlands for example is almost nonexistant in shooting. Japan and Mexico also seem to be doing much better in archery.

 

Also interesting: I just looked at the shooting medal from the last olympics and i was shocked to see that India didn't win a single medal while South Korea only won 1 medal. :SMR won twice as many medals as :IND, :JPN:KOR and :GER combined ... :mumble:

Combined number of medals of :IND, :KOR, :JPN, :GER:FRA and :ITA: 3

Combined number of medals of :SMR and :SRB: 4

Interesting that it seems to be more unpredictable than shooting. I guess if archery would have more rounds it would also be more predictable. More shots = Less unexpected outcome.

 Marcus was the current silver medalist, leader of the world ranking and had won a stage of the World Cup that year. For me, he is among the medalists was fully "expected".

    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
