My 'wild archery' idea is probably closer to the early Rambo films... how much cooler would it be if the disciplines were officially called 'Robin Hood', 'William Tell', 'Jack Rambo' and 'Dothraki Screamer' ..... As far as GB is concerned will this lead to a repeat of 1314 and see football banned to encourage men to concentrate on honing their archery skills? mpjmcevoy and Rich 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,510 Posted May 10 Author #32 Share Posted May 10 women completely outclassed by in the quarterfinal. They only scored three 10s out of possible 18 compared to France who managed ten 10s. Not sure who the 3rd archer was in the shooting order, but they had two 7s and a 6. That's never going to cut it in a team competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmon Mary 20 Posted June 15 #33 Share Posted June 15 Full house at the Final Qualification tournament in Antalya! Both teams through. The Women you hoped for, but never expected the Men to do it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the boys have suddenly hit a rich vein of form and may even be the slightly better bet. Sadly Penny 24 is not currently a patch on Penny 23, but she's young. Penny 28 might be spectacular.

Disappointing to hear, I was starting to follow the archery in 2023 with news of the successes of Ella Gibson and Penny Healey were having. And then had to be educated about the different varieties of archery event, with there being no compound events at the Olympics in particular. Good news about the boys anyway, effective timing! mpjmcevoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
