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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's archery for you kinda, although this tournament has been pretty crazy even for archery standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 783 Posted August 6, 2023 #214 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) 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. won twice as many medals as , , and combined ...

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".
