The volunteers!    Recurve Juniors Women   Mariana SANCHEZ (MEX) On whether she has a lucky charm “I have a bracelet with the Mexican colours that I received at my first national championships.

All my teammates will shout ‘good luck’ and it will help me do my best.”   Sayana TSYREMPILOVA (RUS) – Qualified for individual and team gold medal match “I feel very good about the performance today. Everything went really well and I hope to win the gold.”   Oyuna BOLOTOVA (RUS) – Broke the world record to qualify for team gold medal match “We were not expecting to break the world record in the team competition. Not at all! We have just realized that we did it and are really happy!”   Compound Juniors Men   Ben CLELAND (USA) – Qualified for individual bronze medal match and team gold medal match On his performance “I was not happy with my individual performance, but as a team we shot really well.”   On whether he follows a ritual before the competition “Before a competition I just try to sit down and focus all my energy in shooting 10s.

It was a lot of fun actually.”   On whether he has a lucky charm “I have these purple shoes. I customized them on the Nike website because I have a purple bow and they match it. They help me shoot better. Actually I have had this bow for about a year. I had to get a new bow and I didn’t want to buy a new one because they are expensive, so I found a used one. It’s the only one I could find that was my size.”   Jaime van BARBIERI (AUS) – Qualified for individual gold medal match On his performance “My performance was good. I felt I shot better than I did yesterday.”   On whether she has a lucky charm “My lucky charm is a bracelet that I found the other day. I was going to Wal-Mart with my teammates and we found it on the street. They told me to wear it. I’ve been shooting better since then. I’m definitely going to keep this bracelet.”   Compound Cadet Women   Clara NIETO TALADRIZ (ESP) – Qualified for individual bronze medal match and team gold medal match On today’s competition  “I shot well in my first round today. I was really concentrated and my scores were high. Then I lost my concentration because I wanted to shoot too well… And I lost.”   On what she does before shooting in competition  “I try to concentrate a lot and visualise a perfect shot”.   Page PIERCE (USA) – Qualified for individual and team gold medal match On today’s competition “It was actually a good day, I’m happy with the performance, individually and in the team round.”   On whether she has a lucky charm “Actually I wear a necklace. And before the competition I talk to people so my mind isn’t totally in what I’m doing and I don’t get too nervous.” (Ben CLELAND who is sitting next to Paige remarks that she should actually concentrate on the shooting and they both start laughing.)   Vanahé ANTILLE FITA Communication
