What a disaster>Lim Sihyeon shot a world record of 694 points to lead the women's recurve qualifying in the first session of competition at Paris 2024, while her Korean team also set a new Olympic record.>“It’s my first Olympics, so I wanted to give it everything,” Lim said. “I prepared for it. And then I just tried to enjoy it. The result followed.” Lim's score surpasses the previous world best of 691, set by Kang Chae Young at the Hyundai World Archery Championships in 2019, by three points. It also exceeds the Olympic record set by An San three years ago by 18 points.https://www.insidethegames.biz/index.php/articles/1147000/archery-lim-sihyeon-world-record-paris
I was looking forward to watching some archerysucks they didn't broadcast any of it
>>142969550> Broadcast boring as shit female handball> Archery being one of the rare cases where female and male events are kino are not.So much for the inclusive shit they try to push> inb4 it was basically a practice roundit would be fun to watch still
>>142969569Same, only interesting sport todayAudience wasn't allowed eitherhttps://www.leparisien.fr/jo-paris-2024/jo-paris-2024-pourquoi-ny-a-t-il-pas-de-public-aux-qualifications-de-tir-a-larc-25-07-2024-HQK7R3F7WFGFNOHDFJ6UMXL6CM.php
>>142969593They determined the seeding for the tournament, so not a practice round. Should definitely be broadcasted no matter how hard it is to follow them all shooting at the same time, unacceptable to not broadcast something in current year, let alone during Olympics.

Wish people would stop blaming stuff like this on french organisation when it's the CIO deciding stuff
>>142969865I think there are just way too many archers shooting way too many arrows to properly cover it. The knockout round makes more sense.
>>142969914Just have a couple of cameras and focus on the best performers. That's one way to hype up the sport to people that know nothing about it and are stumbling upon the broadcast
>>142969970Yep, non perfect broadcast is better than absolutely nothing
>>142969598>Audience wasn't allowed eitherWhat did they mean by this? Did they really believe 0 people would buy tickets?
>>142973779The article said they claimed it would be counterproductive, because it would be impossible to follow 64 archers at the same time.
Archery and shooting sports would be better if they were done using darts rules. Imagine how mental the crowd would go at a fat yank doing a nine bullet finish from 50m away.
>>142969550holy shit she SMASHED an san. so did the 2nd place korean. once you get up to that elite level, that sheer difference is pretty unbelievablealso 14 pts not 18 but whateverhttps://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/results/archery/women-s-individual/qual000100--

>>142969970>>142970056I could set you up 128 webcams that would have at least recorded *something* on sdcard for a few hours for sub $10k
>>142969865Just look at the order of those letters anon, that's the French wearing a different hat
why do men and women even compete separately? the 2nd place Korean woman in the ranking round also scored higher than any man
>>142969550She's gonna choke
I'm happy for her getting the wr at least.
>>142981880>>142981118>>142969550That’s the women’s world record, the real world record was broken in 2016 by a South Korean man (700 points).
>>142981952That 700 mens world record only held for 3 years before being broken, but it's still the men's Olympic Record Previous mens world record holders:>Im Dong Hyun set the mark at 687 points at the Games in Athens in 2004 and then steadily increased it until he hit 699 at London 2012. Kim Woojin stole the show – and the record – when he shot the first 700 at the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016.Both those guys are in this Olympics. The Korean one had high score in the qualifying round of the men (686)
How is North Korea handling this?
