Yesterday's South China Morning Post

Post by Bill Poole »

In the national day section of Hong Kong's South China Morning Post is a half page on the olympics.

Entitled:
"Chinese athletes plan to dethrone US at 2008 games"

hmmmmmm....... Americans!.... we're NOT going to let that happen, are we?

it includes the paragraph:

"China's medal haul in Athens was unexpectedly bolstered by the 4 golds it took in shooting, but the pundits are not sure of a repeat performance, saying it is difficult to predict who will emerge on top in this discipline"

Ooooo...K...... lets make it even MORE difficult for those chinese pundits to predict....

elsewhere in the paper, I gasped when a familiar name popped out at me in a sports page article about chinese athletes failing drug tests.... looks like they have (until now) a long-jumper with a name spelled the same (in english anyway) as one of their best pistol shooters.

Shoot good

USAS and OTC need our support.

Support them or support a shooter direct.


Also I am going to take this out to the range today. Hope my groups are smaller that the 1"-1/8" as before.

As previously mentioned by other posters:

None of the events are Olympic events.

The CISM is open only to military members.

The CISM events are somewhat different from AP and FP; some similarity and skill set crossover to RF.
