:USA  Week in Summer #11 - United States  :USA

July 1st - July 8th

 

NOTE: Still pumping away on my spreadsheet so I can include more sports in these posts and more detail. Everyday I find new information to add and such. Some of the qualification documents are a bit confusing to understand but I'm trying to get through it! See you next week!

 

Archery

No Archery news last week, the 4th stage of the Archery World Cup is July 16th - 22nd in Berlin, Germany!

 

 

Badminton

Beiwen Zhang sadly got upset first round against Aya Ohori. This is Beiwen's first ever loss to Aya as the past 3 times they have met Beiwen has come out victorious. This loss only dropped her World Tour Ranking from 3rd to 9th. 

 

Women's Doubles

5b428788cf34e_WomensDoubles.png.dea0fbeec18ce7a7cad8167c807d37b3.png

Ariel and Sydney Lee got badly beaten by Jongkolphan and Rawinda. This result is not very surprising though as the Thailand women are ranked 6th in the world for Women's Doubles

For this week I would like to add that Ashima Shiraishi made it to the finals at the IFSC Climbing World Cup event in Villars, where she took 8th. Kai Lightner also made the semifinals on the men’s side. Michael Finn-Henry also made it to the 1/8 Finals in the Speed event.

In the Quarterfinals she faced Akane Yamaguchi and beat her 2-1! Sadly in the Semi Finals Beiwen lost to Nozomi Okurhara 0-2. This didn't affect her World Ranking (12th) but did affect her World Tour Ranking moving her down 1 spot to 11th place.

But our next match didn't go over so smoothly as we lost to Cuba 2-3 which put us in a tough spot as we needed a win over Puerto Rico to get back our 1st place. We ended up beating Puerto Rico 3-0 allowing us to get to 1st place in the group!

:USA  Week in Summer #13 - United States  :USA

July 15th - July 22nd

 

NOTE: I decided to not include Athletics solely because of the fact their are so many event different events to include. I'll start to include them once I get a system down to shorten it. Someone amazing updated the 2020 Olympic Wikipedia page therefore it makes my spreadsheet building 100x easier. See you next week!

 

Archery

Archery World Cup - Stage 4

Berlin, Germany | July 16th - July 22nd

 

Last week was the final stage of the Archery World Cup and a very intense one as it was the final tournament to see who would be competing in the Archery World Cup Final in Samsun (Sept. 29th - 30th)

 

Recurve Men Qualification

5b551613407f8_MenQualification.png.bec1412c8ce9e14422681ee13cb67045.png

With the pressure on, Brady Ellison needs to get at least in the quarter finals to qualify on points for the World Cup Final. But, sadly he had the worst qualification round of all four stages ending the round 16th. In previous stages he placed (3rd, 4th, 3rd) after qualification. This was Alex Bourdage first Archery World Cup and surprisingly he performed better in Qualification than Jack and Matthew. At only 19 or 20 years old he did great! Jack Williams had a surprising qualification score after coming out of qualification in 9th place in Stage 3 in Salt Lake City. Like Brady, Matthew had his worst qualification of the World Cup ending up in 90th. Overall a disappointing qualification for 3 of the 4 men. 

 

Recurve Women Qualification

5b55188a5de42_WomenQualification.png.87fd5c6ee17220d1da46c79b59d1c2d4.png

Just like in Salt Lake City, Khatuna Lorig had a great qualification round and has been improving her qualification score almost every stage of the World Cup (13th in Salt Lake City)! Despite the 21st ranking Mackenzie Brown didn't necessarily do terrible compared to the first two stages of the World Cup Mackenzie has been improving, sadly she was not able to match her 5th ranking from Salt Lake City but nonetheless she did pretty good! Erin Mickelberry had an alright qualification aswell she was able to get 50th which is around her average qualification score for this years World Cup. Amy Jung was able to get 83rd which was a bit better then she did in Antalya. At only 17 years old I'm excited to see where Amy will go but we won't be bringing her to the Pan American Championship in August.

 

Jack Williams - Bracket Round

5b551a5c36b1b_JackWilliamsandBradyEllison.png.51c9177458104e7f36fd536c3a3c2783.png

With a 48th ranking after the qualification round Jack was able to get put against Jonathan Andersson (65) of Sweden. Jack had a great showing being able to beat him 6-2! In the Second Round Jack faced off against Thomas Chirault (17) from France. In a very close match Jack upset him 6-5 bringing him to the Third Round where sadly he had to go against Brady Ellison, normally I'm all for the rookie/underdog story but we needed Brady to win and he did so Jack lost 2-6 to Brady Ellison (16). The 18 year old had a great showing and I'm sure he will do great at the Pan American Championship. Jack ended Stage 4 in 17th place which tied it for his 2nd best finish in the Archery World Cup. This also moved his World Ranking up from 41 --> 35!

 

Brady Ellison - Bracket Round

5b551a5c36b1b_JackWilliamsandBradyEllison.png.51c9177458104e7f36fd536c3a3c2783.png5b551fd352015_BradyEllison.png.3ee37b5a871ff1d8b4773daa8932a129.png

Because of the disappointing qualification round from Brady Ellison he was not able to obtain a bye round so in the First Round he played against Ben Adriaensen (97) and beat him with a score of 6-2. In the Second Round Brady got more comfortable and beat Ibrahim Ethem Gulacar (64) from Turkey 7-1. Sadly in the Third Round Brady had to play teammate Jack Williams and he needed this victory in order to have an attempt to qualify for the World Cup Finals. Brady did indeed end up beating Jack 6-2. In the Fourth Round, Brady had to go against the 1st ranked player Mete Gazoz from Turkey and sadly lost to him 0-6. Although not all bad news because Brady Ellison was able to qualify for the World Cup Finals on points in 6th place! Hopefully he can get himself back together and have a great showing in Samsun.

 

Matthew Requa - Bracket Round

5b5520fea4edc_MatthewRequa.png.e6c5527f9d62bd5b03f5a9edc2137785.png

Unlike his 9th place finish in Salt Lake City, Matthew lost in the First Round against Miguel Alvarino Garcia (23) of Spain 4-6. Matthew will be heading to the Pan American Championship with our Men's team so I'm hoping he can really start to focus because we will need him to be on his best showing! With this loss it moved his World Ranking down to 41st.

 

Alex Bourdage - Bracket Round

5b5521b49e795_AlexBourdage.png.1bae528abd88aae087d2b0a2700dfcd4.png

It's surprise after surprise from Alex Bourdage. In the First Round he played against Kyraya Tomoaki (66) from Japan and beat him 7-1 which was surprising as Kuraya is ranked 107th in the World Ranking. In the Second Round Alex played a close game but ended up falling to Ryan Tyack (18) 4-6. Alex's world ranking is at 304th but I'm certain as he competes more and more he will quickly move up the rankings! 

 

Khatuna Lorig - Bracket Round

5b55229da9dcf_KhatunaLorig.png.1163ebad1fa6482e3775978a47d51266.png

With the 16th ranking after qualification Khatuna was able to get a 1st round bye, so in the Second Round she faced off against Nerea Lopez Sanchis (64) from Spain. Khatuna failed to show her true skill and got upset by Nerea 2-6. Even though it seems like a bad loss for Khatuna it hasn't been her worst performance in the World Cup previously in Antalya and Shanghai she placed 57th. The 33rd place finish is just a minor setback and I'm sure she will continue to improve over the next months.
 

Mackenzie Brown - Bracket Round

5b55236f389c2_MackenzieBrown.png.5af6592bab1885c598413e3a53046990.png

Our best female archer didn't do terrible in Berlin. Mackenzie got a 1st round bye and was able to beat Sarah Bettles (44) from Great Britain 7-3 moving Mackenzie to the Third Round where she played against Lei Chien-Ying (12) from Chinese Taipei. Sadly Mackenzie lost this match-up 2-6. This loss moved her World Ranking down to 14th but I know she will bring her A-game to the Pan American Championship in August.

 

Amy Jung - Bracket Round

5b5524548806e_AmyJung.png.ea62d03994bd761fcd68808ec1911975.png

The 17-year old fared well against Michelle Kroppen (30) from Germany loosing 4-6 in the First Round of competition. Amy's World Ranking is currently at 264th but as time progresses I'm sure she will be one to keep an eye on. 

 

Erin Mickelberry - Bracket Round

5b55253f9f499_ErinMickelberry.png.320504d0a4dbc1ae04a253a22edcf6a5.png

Erin Mickelberry went into the First Round with a ranking of 50th and got matched against Sietske Visser (63) and beat her 6-2! In the Second Round she lost against Zhang Xinyan (15) from China 2-6. Erin's World Ranking still manged to go up despite the Second Round loss now moving up to 117th place. 

 

Recurve Men Team

5b5525ea1ae08_MenTeam.png.a93a21f1ef8d6d3a6534d64025a42d6e.png

The USA Men started the Bracket Round with a 7th seed which meant a First Round bye which I'm sure helped them so they were able to relax before going against Germany (10) and beating them 6-0! In a very very close Quarterfinal match we lost to Kazakhstand (2) 4-5. This was our Men's team best performance in all four stages of the World Cup ending in 5th place! 

 

Recurve Women Team

5b5526cdb476b_WomenTeam.png.2e2c4dc4ca5c41eb761ea9d1ae7ecb34.png

The USA Women started the Bracket Round with an 8th seed which also meant a First Round bye. Although in the Second Round we lost a close game against India (9) 4-5. This tied for our worst finish in the World Cup Stages with 9th place.

 

Recurve Mixed Team

Berlin.png.78f32d4d0e861f8ba81594e208e49b1c.png

Instead of the Gold Medal duo of Mackenzie Brown + Brady Ellison Mixed Team we decided to run with  Khatuna Lorig + Brady Ellison Mixed Team like we did in Shanghai. It didn't go great but it didn't go terribly. We started with a 9th seed and had to play against Sweden (24) and we beat them 5-1. But in the Second Round we lost to Japan (8) 4-5 in a very tight match-up.

Jennie Gai competed in the Singapore Open last week but because of her ranking she first had to compete in the Qualification Round and she was able to win her match 2-1 which moved her onto the real bracket round.

 

Jennie Gai - Women's Singles

Possibly the hardest match so far of the 17 year-old's career so far was going against Yulia who is ranked 76th in the world. Sadly Jennie lost to her but was still able to win a set. Jennie's world ranking is 125th in Women's Singles

Beiwen Zhang - Women's Singles

5b55313a0785a_BeiwenZhang.png.69ed6d05d0b0e9d93c10ed92e71ad922.png

A very disappointing First Round loss for Beiwen Zhang though it actually moved her ranking up back up to 11th in World Ranking and 8th in World Tour Ranking. Beiwen has more competitions coming up soon so I'm hoping this loss won't affect her too badly.

 

Men's Doubles

Another tournament for Ryan and Phillip Chew but sadly another loss. I'm hoping in the upcoming tournaments they can start winning or at least taking a set.

 

Women's Doubles

Just like the Chew brothers, Ariel and Sydney Lee lost first round but the sister's lost even worse 3-21, 2-21. Even with the loss they are still not going down in rankings.

5th Place

Because of the loss in the Quarter-Finals we got brought down to the 5th place Bracket. In the Semi-Finals we got matched against Scotland (8) and beat them 28-0 moving us to the 5th Place Final. In the Final we met Argentina (7) but lost to them 7-33 which means we ended the tournament in 6th place a place behind our seed. We hopefully meet Argentina again in the 2019 Pan American Games. This 6th place finish is the best finish the United States Men's National Rugby team has every achieved in the Rugby World Cup Sevens! Our previous best position was 13th place in 2013, so woohoo for 6th!
