Schloesser (  /  ) will play the Russian lady who fainted due to the heat and wasn't impressed by the weather: "Nice Mexican weather, I grew up with this."

Good luck to Gaby Bayardo

Our girls did terribly today and ranked badly. They will face Korea early. 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...

Which even in Dutch is a so much nicer name than Schloesser!

I wonder if Furukawa has something under his sleave? His ranking result was disastrous.

Why? What does Schloesser means?

 

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. Bayardo does

I think I wouldn’t pronounce Schloesser correctly, but again, our users from the Rio de la Plata wouldn’t pronounce Bayardo properly

Finally got a chance to view this morning’s results for the men. Good round for D’Amour

 

Koreans were on top form as well, so hats off to them for that amazing performance

SB had a disaster QR, down by 22 points from her PB, Crispin actually had 5 points less than in Rio, but finished higher. Either would have gotten them a performance needed to qualify.
