Extremely disappointed with Men's Archery team. They did really good at qualification and lost in both events so poorly. Not digestible.

Answer is needed from these archers please. If you are not of that world class level then its okay if you fail to qualify but if government is spending so much on you only because nation hopes from you, nation knows you are potential medal winners and you deliver absolutely nothing? Unacceptable! They are capable of winning an Olympic medal. Everybody knows it

If you recall, someone had quoted team official and told about India's decision to replace Rahul with Mangal on Monday evening itself. Also, Mangal had participated in the normal team event as well. So, once again nothing to do with today's condition. 

 

In qualification, gap between Mangal and Rahul was 5 shots and Mangal had shot much better in 2nd series compared to 1st. So, maybe team thought that Mangal will bounce back. Also, its not like Rahul had a spectacular performance in qualification or Individual events. 

 

THIS !!!

 

Cool down guys, it happens. Archery is a sport where performance on the day is very important. Luck plays a huge factor simply because every match is just so short. 

 

Consider this - every archer shoots a whopping 72 arrows in the ranking round, used only to determine the draws, but in an actual team match, each archer shoots a maximum of just 8 arrows. 9 if it goes to the shootout. That means that through out the 4 rounds, every archer shoots a max of just 36 arrows...and even then, we have sets. Winner is not decided just by a sum of all arrows (India scored 2 points more than Malaysia i believe, including the shoot-out)

 

Thats why Archery is so unpredictable...with the exception of course of the unmatchable Koreans. 

 

Also, does anyone have confirmation that the last shooter actually was Champia ??? Normally, Champia is the middle shooter...and had Rahul shot and lost, many would be complaining as to how Champia, our individual quota winner, was not selected. Despite his performance in ranking round, people would be saying that he's the most experienced and handles pressure the best (as demonstrated by his indiv quota) and thus he should have been selected

 

Some food for thought - other top teams to miss out include Mexico (who are assured a silver in this very world cup), Russia and Germany. And biggest of them all - the USA women's team.

 

So it was disappointing, but lets forget about it and move on. Does anybody have a link to the boxing scores or livestream ???

disastrous result. playing champia inspite of his form - what to say -this is how all Indian sports are run. So in archery we have actually taken a step backwards from London 2012.

 

Where's your optimism Partha??? Dont think its a step backwards yet, a medal at Rio from Deepika or the women's team or even Atanu would still make Rio much better than London...:)

India vs Australia... India lost 2-4...But q3 and  q4 India played like lion.. Happy with there performance inspite of the loss... Only if this hockey was from first quarter 

Brilliant 4th Qtr, could have scored more goals, just went to sleep in the 2nd Qtr, which cost us the game. Anyway good positive performance, whoever is the opponent tomorrow, just need to play positive hockey with a lot of energy.

We never got any medals in archery in Olympics.. So no step backward as such... While woman team is very strong and is capable of a medal 

He meant to say from the perspective of participation strength in Olympics. It got reduced by 2.

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.

    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams

    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
