On the first day was supposed to shoot two rounds for the qualifiers but after we finish shooting one round, there was a thunderstorm hence the second round was cancelled and the first round score was taken. I shot a score of 202 which was close but slightly lower than average. At night, received a call from Vincent, my team captain that I actually qualified for the top 8, as the 8th seed!!! What a pleasant surprise.
The next day, went back early in the morning and was told that I was tied on score with the 7th place the previous day, so we had a shoot-out to decide who is the 7th seed. Tied again after the first arrow and won him on the second arrow, and I was the 7th seed. So instead of meeting the 1st seed, I will be meeting the 2nd seed for the individual knock-out round instead.
Quarter-finals: A very tight match as the lead changes hand after each round, eventually I won by 1 pt to knock out the 2nd seed and progress to the semis.
Semi-finals: Fought back from 4 pt deficit to tie at the third round. At the crucial 4th round, I lost by 1 pt. Just 1 pt and if I have gotten 2pt more, I would have gotten at least a second. 3rd/4th Placing
3rd/4th Placing
My team qualified for the team event as well. We got knocked out after the first round after losing by 4pts. Mostly my fault I have to admit, as after losing at the Semis I was shooting atrociously. Perhaps I am not mentally strong enough to lose by one point and still thinking of the last shot which I did not do that well.
I shall practise even harder this time round as in a month's time, I will be participating in the SAFRA open. This time round, I really wish to win something as it might well be my best chance to win something this year.
Still related to archery, after Legolas, I've found another Idol Archer: 李智雅 as 秀芝妮in 《太王四神记》
