Wednesday evening

Well, it's over! The Fullbore matches finished today - the Pairs in the morning and the Individual in the afternoon. Once again, it was a clear, sunny day with a variable breeze from the right, varying from 2 to 6 or 7 minutes. Once again there were target failures and inconsistencies. These delayed matter so that the medal ceremonies were held in pitch darkness. A short power failure added to the mystical sense of the Indian occasion.

I won't comment on my Juror activities for the day, except to say that they were busy and convoluted, with our ruling yesterday being over-ruled by the higher level Jury of Appeal. Once I get out of here, I'll offer some further observations on the fairness of the shoot as it affected all shooters.

Results are on various web sites, but here is a summary. In my view, Canada should have had at least the bronze in the Pairs, but two adverse rulings on dubious series of shots meant we ended up in 6th place. In the Individual things did not go so well today.

Pairs: 1. NZ 588.59; 2. Scotland 587.45; 3. England 584.48 .... 6. Canada 574.44.

Individual: 1. Patel (ENG) 396.42; 2. Corbett (AUS) 395.40; 3. Calvert (NIR) 393.35 ..... 21 Paton (CAN) 381.30 .... 25 Vamplew (CAN) 375.30.

We had some Aussie Fizz with our dinner tonight, the last one that the six ITOs will share - we have worked very well together and are still smiling at each other!

Once I'm a bit more rested and relaxed, I'll add some further comments.
