BURGESS Charlotte (GBR) – Archer

On performance:

"It's great. We legged behind by half time, but we were determined to win, and we were motivated as a team."

On Objective:

"We aim for the finals. We work together and we are very strong as a term."

LIAN Guofu (CHN) – Coach

On Chinese Women's Team eliminated at the first end:

"It is a pity we got eliminated at the first end though the team shot six 10 points. The archers tried their best but some of the shooting was not dealt with very well due to their nervousness in fear of losing their advantage gained at the beginning. Though we lost the chance to qualify for the next round as a team, we will learn our lessons and try to exert our best performance in the Women's Individual Elimination in which three of the archers (GUO Dan, ZHUANG JuanJuan, and HE Ying) will all participate in the coming days."
