    Guh.


    Marco Galiazzo is 6 months *younger* than me, and he just won an olympic gold medal in archery.


    In fact, looking at
    http://www.athens2004.com/en/OlympicMedals/medals it would appear the Glorious Republic has yet to net a single medal. Not even one frickin bronze.

    FFS, NORTH KOREA has three medals by now. Hell even Mongolia has a bronze medal.

    The state of coaching(like a lot of things) in this country is chronic. Absolutely, totally, completely and utterly *pants*

    If I ever do manage to put in some decent scores, I'll pull a Valeva on it and go shoot for someone with coaches. Simple as.

    i have it written down somewhere at home but if i remember correctly, for the 2000 olympics, the average age of the mens archers was 28, and had average FITA PBs of 1321. Simon Fairweather was 30 when he won. then again the gymnastics ladies often do be <16 :P
