In Compound Open Men, Korea's LEE Ouk Soo broke the previous world record of 338 points at 90 metres and set it at 343. On the women's side LEE Hwa Sook—also from Korea—broke a world record in women recurve standing. At 60m she set it at 323. The old record was 318. They both ranked 1st after the first two distances and led by a comfortable margin over the rest of the field.
Although there are very few archers in the Visually Impaired division, those that were there shot brilliantly. Piombo MASSIMILANO of Italy smashed the men’s world records for both the 60cm face (raising it from 185 to 269) and the 80cm face (262 to 294). Janice WALSH (USA) raised the women’s records for the division from 143 to 187 (60 cm face) and 241 to 254 (80 cm face). “It’s just great to be here shooting against my peers as there are so few competitions in which our class can take part”, WALSH said.
Zandra REPPE (SWE) and Danielle BROWN (GBR) both broke the 60m record in the Compound Open Women class, REPPE beating it by 2 points and BROWN by 9 points. When asked how they both felt after the shooting, REPPE said: “It was perfect weather for shooting good scores.” BROWN agreed but said "it had been a little too hot at times".
In Compound W1 Men, Jeff FABRY (USA) broke the world records for 70 metres and 60 metres (by 11 points and 1 point). “I had a great time shooting and I guess that’s not a bad score”, the American said.
Tomorrow all archers are up for the short distances. See our results page for all scores and rankings.
