Olympic Archery

Today was the second day of Olympic events for our group. We had a chance to view the women's single archery competition, in which the field of 64 archers went head-to-head (best score from a running total of 12 shots wins with the loser going home). Scores range from 0 (didn't even hit the target) to 10 (bullseye).

The pictures below kind of give you an idea of how far away these targets are.
Got a chance to see the number one rated womens archer in the world (from South Korea). The Korean fans were crazy ... the American fans were less than impressed.

Cool! Is Gena Davis there for USA? She used to be on the Olympic team I thought.

You mean the actress? No, if she was we didn't see her.
