Team warming up with a song (Can’t work out how to post actual video, sorry)
Here are the competitors in the quarter finals of the mens competition.
The event was not very well organised, and after every round when a person had missed the target, they all had to run back and search for their arrows. Needless to say, the target was not hit too often, I would say about every fourth arrow was a success. It took about two hours for the fog to clear and then about an hour and a half for the mens archery to be completed. I left at the beginning of the womens archery, and was expecting it to continue for another few hours. The clouds rolling in, made for some interesting shots with my Mamiya 7ii, but didn’t help the crowds of journalists. There were easily more journalists than competitors and probably only a dozen actual spectators. On may 25th (this Sunday) the final day of the event, and the opening and closing ceremony is held at TCV (Tibetan Children’s Village), and that is expected to draw a good crowd.
