Wow, there are some pretty precise timings there - I wonder if they can stick to them :big grin:

The men's ranking event was this morning, and saw the first world record of the London 2012 Games! Im Dong-hyun of South Korea broke his own 72-arrow World Record of 696 by 3 points - what's even more amazing is that he is legally blind in one eye!

The women's ranking events are on this afternoon from 13:00 - 15:00 but I'm not sure if they're televised.

I know, the tennis OOP looked the same and I wondered if there was some new rule about matches lasting precisely 2hrs and whoever was leading after 120mins was declared the winner!

I think it's incredible because sight from a single eye means you don't have 3-D vision and can't judge distance, depth or trajectory! The venue looked great too - so weird to see iconic venues adapted for other sports.
