Wild card for :BHU Bhutan :cheer:

Lenchu Kuenzang it is, according to local media.

 

Shooting-for-Bhutan-in-Rio-2016-Olympics

 

She is definitely going for a medal in Rio. "I'm aiming for a medal this time", is what she said after all. She has already been training since April and shoots a hundred rounds per day besides her job as officer in the Royal Bhutanese Police. If this isn't the recipe for gold yet, hold on to your hats because there's more to come: Lenchu is getting in all kinds of positions for one hour every morning during her yoga session, while every evening she spends an hour in the gym :bowdown:

 

Her coach has said her performances are getting very close to the top level athletes in the world and who is he to lie about that? Get your money ready and place your bets, because Lenchu is Kuenzang is coming for the gold :bowdown:

I'd like to switch my first and second choice if possible. :p Palau > Zimbabwe

Clearly you have been paying attention to the wild cards? :p

Palau will have 5-6 athletes, so it will be much easier to follow every one of them closely. Zimbabwe will have 30+, I'm still going to follow them, but not as closely I guess.

    • That's so they can play in both venues in Canada.  Will mean that the UEFA Path A winner has to go from Toronto to Los Angeles and then up to Seattle.   Someone was bound to draw the short straw in that group since 4 of the matches are Central, but 2 are in Santa Clara.  Unfortunately, that's Algeria.
