Of course, he's Chinese

I had a lot more respect for the archers when I realised just how far they have to shoot over. I've had a go at archery a few times and it was over a pitiful 10 or 15 metres at most, and I thought that was bloomin' difficult. I wouldn't say I'm following it but watching them hit a 10 at the exact moment they need it is great.

me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me.

I shoot for the same club as Larry Godfrey and have known Simon Terry for about 5 years. I've also shot alongside Naomi Folkard and Amy Oliver quite a few times.

It's a shame that I don't shoot recurve, and that I'm very average!

no idea who any of those folk are but they must be good for you to have mentioned them . I'm below average as i've not shot for over 10 years . I want to try archery again. Do you know any places in london i can just give it a go and join if i like it?

They are 4 of the 6 British archers in this Olympics.

So far Larry Godfrey is into the last 16 after a great qualifying round and two dominant wins in the knock-out rounds while Simon Terry is shooting later this afternoon in the round of 64.
Naomi Folkard lost in the round of 32 after a good win in the first round and Amy Oliver is shooting in the round of 64 tomorrow morning.
