Summer Paris 2024 - Day 2

[BobbyMorri]

Back to the Archery Range for me.

The Dutch have been solid. They were seeded 12th(ala bottom) but smashed the French and now the 4th seed India to make it to the semis.

I Can't think they have shot outside the red.

alas, the Koreans will rarely shoot outside the yellow, which is whom they should face next. Looking forward to seeing them in action.

The rear of South African's bike in the cross country was mangled, but she was still running with it to keep going!

Horrible final arrow of the opening set for Chinese Taipei. Had the South Koreans on the ropes and failed.

7 and a 6....

Cost them the opening set against a country that hasn't lost in how long?

Partially made up for it in the second set, 10 and 9.

And they win the 2nd set. Oh how costly it might be...

 

[BobbyMorri]

Geech, Korea are struggling.

They are very lucky to be even.

Great set by Taiwan after the first.

 

[BobbyMorri]

That is the Korea I loved in Tokyo.

5/6 Yellow. Set 3 to Korea

Its Crazy that the 3 time gold medalist from Tokyo, An San, didn't qualify for Paris, such is the competition in Korea

Woah that fall in the CCC was nasty. Camera hasn't gone back to it.

For the love of god, someone please get Cadel a glass of water.

 

[BobbyMorri]

56/60 in the 4th Set. GSM South Korea. Taiwan did well, but the last arrow in the 1st was the chance.

Nerrvy first 2 sets. Better range in the last 2.

Looks like she was out cold. Bike hit her in the back of the head maybe?

 

[FreoGirl]

watching the skateboarding on tv and having huge regrets about all those cold early mornings taking son to swim training when I could have dumped him at the local skate park

For the love of god, someone please get Cadel a glass of water.

Greatest rider we ever had but probably one of the worst commentators

 

[BobbyMorri]

Korea are beatable. tricky conditions and Mexico and China have shot well.

heck, the Dutch just stole the 2nd set.

This Korean team just doesn't seem as composed.

 

[BobbyMorri]

TURN THE TELLIE ON!!!!!

DUTCH UP 4-2!!!!!!

3 10's IN A ROW!!!!! NEEDED 29!!!!!!

CLUTCH!!!!!!

 

[JP Sauce]

Heavens!

 

[BobbyMorri]

Now the Koreas do 3 10's in a row.

Make that 4. 59/60....

Dutch has shot poor in the last set. 3 arrows each. Will Korea keep the steak alive.

Seen the replay. Lecomte went head first into the ground just in front of a log. Definitely out cold before the bike hit her afterwards. From reports she has regained consciousness but is in hospital.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Dutch couldnt find the yellow after finding 3x10's in the 3rd set.

Korea are in the final. 10 in a row still on

 

[BobbyMorri]

Korea v China Final.

1 and 2. The best 2 teams.

Should be very very close.

 

[BobbyMorri]

I will stay on this thread.

Mexico wins the 3rd place easily. 3rd best team on the day. First medal for Mexico in this event. had a 17 year old on their team.

2nd longest steak on the line at the Olympics. off we go!!!!!

 

[JP Sauce]

Shoot off for gold!

 

[BobbyMorri]

Korea 4-0 up, just needed a draw in the nest 2....

in the 4th, needed a 10 to win the gold, and it is an 8,
