Indoor World Championships, Day 4 – Quotes of the day
Izmir - March 16 2007
Anastasia Anastasio – ITA, Gold Medallist Compound Junior Women
I won the Outdoor World Championships last year in Merida, Mexico so it is great to win the Indoor as it confirms that I am one of the best. But this also meant that I felt a little bit more pressure as people have higher expectations of me. I want to continue to win more medals and next year I’m looking forward to the World Field Championships in Great Britain.
Eleni Ioannou – GRE, Silver Medallist Compound Junior Women
Obviously I am disappointed not to win the gold medal but I was very nervous at the start of the match. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the noise of the crowd. This won't be my last competition with a compound bow for now.
Kevin Marbacher – SUI, Silver Medallist Compound Junior Men
I was much more nervous shooting on the stage compared with my earlier matches but I tried to concentrate on my shooting and not let the scores during the match affect me. I am happy with my 2nd place but I know that I can do more.
Ayur Abidduev – RUS, Gold Medallist Compound Junior Men
