Zavala   I'm beyond sadness, it was so close for her, yet her nerves got her in the end... I could already feel the first medal today.

 

Still, she's a great athlete and makes us proud, probably the best finish ever by a Mexican shooter.

 

Also a brave effort by Goretti Zumaya yesterday in 10m Air Rifle... she's only 19 and has prove she can compete with women older than her. Let's see what happens in Tokyo four years from now (also, to increase our number of shooters)

Who advances out of Canada/Australia?

Even if Canada does not advance what on earth was that!? Shooting is by far the weakest sport for Canada at the Olympics (besides handball)

At least we now know the answer to that silly bet question about Asia getting medals in all shooting events

 

10 points for me

I will always say we are better at Shooting than Canoe Slalom, because anyone can win a medal in Shooting if you make the Olympics, not so much for Canoe Slalom

Gotta ask again

 

What's the format for the trap semi's? 6 shooters, X shots and the best 4 go to the final/bronze medal match?
