Chinese Taipei did even worse but their draw position is better because in different half with Korea. I understand a a straight single knockout is the standard format for this event, but it does feel like Korea's overwhelming dominance creates a skewed draw where it is actually better to rank 11th than rank 8th because you get to avoid Korea until the final. Perhaps a final group stage would even that out, I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChandlerMne 637 Posted July 23, 2021 #54 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I wonder if Furukawa has something under his sleave? His ranking result was disastrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure what Bayardo means in Spanish, but I guess something related to berries (bayas in Spanish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure what Bayardo means in Spanish, but I guess something related to berries (bayas in Spanish). Schloesser doesn't really mean anything, but it's a bit of a hard to pronounce name. Not really 'hard', but slightly uncomfortable, it doesn't roll off the tongue nicely.

Olympian1010 7,523 Posted July 23, 2021 #58 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Finally got a chance to view this morning’s results for the men.

Either would have gotten them a performance needed to qualify. ofan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
