All Seniors and Junoris to be there training. Here are the names of those who scored for the last week fufilling the 12 sets. Keep up the good job. Nevertheless, scores are not the thing that we are looking for, form is as important. Billy Clarene Dolly JiaHe Kenney Leng Kia How Tong Ann Wei Lin Yao Song Yi Jing Nat Jing Teck Yikang The rest please concentrate on your shooting and update the list .

Dear all , I hope everyone is doing their best training up consistently for the coming competition - POLITE Juniors, please make sure that you are completing the 12 sets per week quota. I checked the list just this afternoon and i am very disappointed in it. Some of you guy's hand writing is ugh... and some did not finish the 12 sets. That is for the first week of training for the holidays, nevermind about it already - Chance given. Now for the second week, i want to see all competitive archers doing their 12 sets. Work hard to it. It is not the scores i want to see. I want to make sure that you all clock in a certain number of arrows a week. Nonetheless, form is also a very important part to archery, if seniors come to you and teach you to change form, please be receptive to it. Remember to help book field for this Saturday's training -juniors and seniors. Those who need help installing clicker, you can come approach me . I will be at the field on weekdays from morning till 2

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 (Bernama) -- Inexperience to compete at the highest level like the Olympics had cost the recurve archers dearly in Beijing, said national archery coach Lee Jae-hyung . The trio of Mohd Marbawi Sulaiman, Wan Mohd Khalmizan Wan Abdul Aziz and Cheng Chu Sian, the world number five failed to make the quarter-final losing to Italy 213-218. Jae-hyung who returned today said the intimidating atmosphere at the Olympics proved too much for the archers who were making their debut. "It had nothing to do with their mental. They had managed to overcome fear and were not afraid of their oppponents," said the coach from South Korea. In the individual event, Chu Sian made it to the quarter-final while Mohd Marbawi and Mohd Khalmizan crashed out in the first round. Chu Sian who upset Olympic record holder Lee Chang Hwan of South Korea to make the quarter-final lost to Bair Badenov of Russia 109-104. "The Olympics cannot be compared to the Asian and Commonwealth Games

(Picture is not related to the article.) The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly By KIM SEONG-KON SEOUL: Movie buffs still remember Sergio Leone’s monumental film The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly , which portrays three outlaws determined to find a cashbox containing $200,000 hidden in an unmarked grave. A huge success, the film was the first of the so-called “spaghetti Westerns”, making Clint Eastwood an overnight celebrity. Eastwood was “the Good”, Eli Wallach was “the Bad”, and Lee Van Cleef was “the Ugly”. The same metaphor seems to fit appropriately for the South Korean athletes who participated in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. To the eyes of the Korean people, only gold medalists are considered good, and silver and bronze medalists are bad and ugly. Considering this, it is interesting to note how our silver and bronze medalists shed tears of grief and regret after winning such glorious medals. Our newspapers displayed photos of a grief-stricken, sobbing Korean athlete who won a bronze
