That's today's individual qualifiers (the Women's Individual 'ranking round') done. For the people not watching TV or radio or honestly, I don't even know if it's aired yet but I haven't been press-gagged or anything from my own blog: still in the game. It was just a ranking round so there's no medals or anything, but I placed, so I'm still going.

And, therefore, off until the 30th where I get to compete with 31 other people to go to the next qualifiers etc etc. You can count on me obnoxiously posting about each one, probably, though I'm not giving recaps, and I'm really not happy that I missed Im Dong-hyun setting the 72 arrow record because I was busy competing.

SOMEHOW I DIDN'T DIE.

	Of course you didn't! You were wonderful, we're all so proud of you Katniss :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I also did not have visible acne on the TV cameras, and that is because of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Make up is your friend not your enemy, and you don't even need that much. You're lucky to have natural beauty and that shows :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One also does not need to look party-ready to go shoot, but, I mean, it's nice not too look like an angsty teen in the face. And thanks, that is not a regular compliment! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You had light make up honey, not party-ready - come see me before the closing ceremony and I'll do you party make-up ;) I should be thanking you, you make my job easier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That was what made it so much more bearable. Lack of eyeliner and mascara; we're never going to make friends, I don't think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's okay as long as you are occasional mates it's fine ;) And, of course, if you ever need a hand you can call on me. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Placing in the ranking round really is no biggie compared to not dying, though. You're going to have a lot of ranking rounds in your life! You only have one life in your life, though! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, yeah, but not so many Olympics. I'm lucky I'm just now sixteen, because this is actually the first year I qualified by age regulations and so I can keep competing for a while even if I lose horribly, but. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Who knows, maybe you'll even still be competing in your 80s. ;) Nothing's going to surprise me where you and archery are concerned, Katniss. And you should even be getting your care package soon. (Reply to this) (Parent)
