The adventures of an American archer dreaming in Beijing. Details on the Semis and Bronze Medal Match. Sep 13th, 2008 at 2:01 PM. What words can I possibly share with you, to convey the absolute madness and melodrama of today's two matches? In archery, ties are decided by up to three shootoffs. Ours was determined fairly quickly. The Korean lady faltered again, shooting a seven. I can remember thinking, "The door is wide open! Just shoot a strong shot and you've got this! If nothing else, I am incredibly.

The adventures of an American archer dreaming in Beijing. Rough Practice and Opening Cermonies. Sep 6th, 2008 at 5:01 AM. I had a really rough practice today. I'm not sure if it's the constant. Pushing in the chair, or all the sneezing from the first couple days as. Caught up with me, or if the firm beds are doing a number on my back, but. For no apparent reason today, my ribs popped. The pain was sharp, acutely. Persistent, and I was gasping half the morning during practice. Talk about. Life that I'm pr...

The adventures of an American archer dreaming in Beijing. Beijing Paralympic Opening Ceremonies. Sep 7th, 2008 at 10:45 AM. No words can describe what it is like to be a part of an Opening Ceremonies. Athens will always have a special place in my heart, but Beijing’s Ceremonies were nothing short of unbelievable. The Paralympic Ceremonies were just as beautiful and as moving as the Olympic event, yet they were especially incredible because of the emphasis the Chinese put on disabled performers. The firew...

http://ringsandarrows.livejournal.com/8270.html
The adventures of an American archer dreaming in Beijing. Quarter-finals, a photo, and two videos from yesterday! Sep 12th, 2008 at 6:07 AM. I don't know how I did it, since I was having a day of stellar. Shots and awful ones, all mixed together. Go figure. I was shooting down to. The wire again, in many ways, and apparently if I hadn't shot a nine on the. Last arrow, I would have tied or lost. Gee. good thing I shot a nine, huh? They've started calling me Little Miss Drama Queen, cos I give everyone.
