That's the only way to describe what happened today.
It was a long afternoon as the shooting didn't finish until 18:15 local time(with daylight quickly becoming in short supply). Day one of the competition consisted of the two long distances....for Molly that was 60M and 5oM. What I witnessed today will not be soon forgotten. Two personnel best scores shot at a world championship....that's right a PB at BOTH 60M(310 out of 360) and 50M(319). Molly is ranked in 23rd place overall so far(in a field of 73). This simply spectacular. She is very proud of herself(needless to say). I can vividly remember her flashing me her score, with her fingers, on one end during the 60M round....a 56(out of 60 of course). The competition is incredible. The top girls do not miss gold(a 9 or 10) at these distances, simply amazing.
For those who know Buttercup he is doing fine. He had a very rough start in the opening round or two but got back on track and is currently in tenth, just 17 points from first place. For other archers check the FITA site as the results are posted there www.archery.org
Tomorrow consists of the two short distances....for Mol that is 40M and 30M. Theses two distances are shot at a smaller face than what was used today(80cm face vs a 122cm face).
That's all for now.
