I guess it was planned to do only the 1st half of the distance this time.
But in K4 W. - 12 boats, and there are 3 rounds to eliminate 4 boats before the final. Great.
I still believe in a surprise here (K1 W), the semi's times are pretty close, the wind is different than 2 days ago and it looked like an easy run for Csipes (just like for Carrington).
Quite stupid progression system, singles and doubles can't avoid the SF, so 2 runs on the day of the final.
F.e. 14 starters in C2-1000, 10 will make the SF, 5-5 each SF only to eliminate 1 pair in each SF that is approx 2 hours before the final.
Previous Men - Outdoor - Recurve - 72 rounds - 70 meters WR was 699/720 held by Im Dong Hyun from London 2012, if I'm right.
There are too many categories, too many WRs.
"British athletes, however, will have to settle for national glory and their image on a stamp rather than cash.
British Olympic chiefs are of the view that financial rewards do not significantly impact the motivation of athletes to reach the podium and it is their desire to compete at the Olympics that is their main driving force."
