So my time at the world championships has come to an end. It's been a real tough ass week but completely worth it. The first day at the unmarked I shot really strong shots and shot only 2 points below my PB and ranked 7th. Marked was even tougher. It was a really hard part of the course with steep slopes and a lot of walking (and I mean, A LOT) and even had difficult weather, and because of this my score wasn't exactly where I wanted it to be but I think overall my score was pretty decent and I ranked 7th. The eliminations was probably my better day. I started off with a wee wobble (bit of the old nerves) but apart from that I shot absolutely awesome and won my first match! My second match I shot even stronger and handled my nerves really well, having a strong mental game along with strong shots, but unfortunately I lost out at the last minute after a dodgy 10m bunny! Other than losing to a former world champ I'm actually so proud of my individual performance and I am now ranked 7th in the world I think 😂 as for the team matches me, Sophie and Rebecca were ranked 2nd meaning we got an automatic bye into the semis, which we unfortunately lost 😂 in the end the three of us finished 4th in the world for junior women teams. I wasn't really happy with my shooting in both matches; I was honestly gutted to lose but the experience had taught me a lot about what I need to work on, and I guess despite today I am really happy with my shooting ☺️ overall I have actually enjoyed my first worlds, I've met some incredible people and have learnt a lot and I honestly can't wait for the next one! I just want to thank everyone for all the lovely comments, it means so much to me and even though I've not had chance to reply to all of them they have meant a lot ☺️ also a big thank you to Merlin Archery for all their support - especially at the last minute trip I had to make the day before I flew out 😂 and also a big thank you to the parents, who've watched my scores all week and supported and have kept sending me wee supportive texts before my matches ☺️😘😂
