Netherlands are just amazing.. another medal to their collection! Sjef Van Den Berg, Rick van der Ven and Steve Wijler (this guys will win something important one day..) won the gold at the Indoor World Championship!

Ok, Korea decided to stay at home and it isn't the Olympic format, but it's a very good result

 

In anyone want follow the individual finals (whit Van der Berg that we'll compete for the gold):

Amazing match between  Fumiyo Mikai and  Audrey Adiceom  After 21 perfect arrows (10s) and an amazing shoot-off 10-10 the French girl won the bronze medal

Very close match for the gold medal between  Elena Richter and  Aida Roman whit an incredible 30 points tie in the 1st set! After an awful last end for Roman, Richter won the match 7-3

Finally it's time to start another outdoor seasons whit the compound qualification.

It's nice see that Roberto Hernandez finished 10th in men's event, maybe he's back at top level.

In some hours individual and team elimination matches with start.

Some news from the 1/48 of men's and women's recurve event...

No big surprise in women's event, all big athlete receved a bye for the 1/24.. so, it was boring   Just a nice curiosity,  Nguyen (#72) advance to the next round when she will face a Chinese.

Opposite situation instead in men's event where some big name was eliminated.. awful day for  Van der Ven, after an awful qualification he was ruled-out by  Sun. Biggest defeat of the 1st round prize goes to  Ilfat Abdullin eliminated for 6-2 by the #100 (!!)  Stefanovic and, speaking about big seeded heads,  Mestvirishvili is in 1/24 too.

Awful day for the Rio 2016's silver medal  Valladont, eliminated at the shoot-off against  Choudary.
