Question:
I know, this is not something that often covers archery, and this only does in the lightest way. Saw it mainly for the fun image they used on the index page – http://espn-i.starwave.com/i/page2/topstory/020226_bottom.gif and the column isn’t great – http://espn.go.com/page2/s/halloran/020226.html but it started me wondering – does that Korean lady (I forget her name for the moment) still have the world record for a FITA recurve of about 1380-something? And isn’t that about half a dozen points above the mens world record? Any ideas/comments/flame mail? Tom

Isn’t that what one should expect? M

Beats me. That’s what I was wondering. Tom

the scores in the last olympics are somewhat exemplary – check the tables I put into the JOAD FAQ here: http://texasarchery.org/JOAD/JOADFAQ.htm > > And isn’t that about half a dozen points above the mens > > world record? > Isn’t that what one should expect? > M > Beats me.

Ladies shoot 60m while Gents shoot 90m. There’s the difference. Give and take 20-30 points. MA
Response:
BUT the table is at 70 meters for BOTH sexes….the scores I cited are all at the same distance, I think, for the qual round which was 70 meters. In that table there are the top 10 men and the top 10 women. I even did it in pink and blue so you can more easily see that FOUR of the FIVE HIGHEST scores were turned in by PINK ladies, which makes the boys BLUE<G>…. apples to apples in that comparison, I hoped…. > Beats me.

Yeah, I noticed. In Sydney Ladies shot in the morning, when it was quite calm. At afternoon the wind was pretty nasty. The original post was about FITA- scores. M

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…. ;-) The ladies practice (probably) a lot more at 70m than the gents (‘cos it’s their longest distance), so of course they’re better (at 70M). You only have to look at the FITA 18M and 25M World Records (on the FITA website) to see that the guys are way out in front. That’s more apples to apples, IMHO ;-) <RBG> -Mac

So you don’t think the men practice at the only distance that *really* counts, the distance at which all the finals in championships take place? I must say I disagree. Bu then again, our practicing range is 60 meters long if we "stretch it", so I don’t practice much at 70 myself
