They will have a bye in the first round and then they need to win at least 2 matches to be in position to finish in top 3. The top 3 finishers are the only ones that qualify spots for the Olympics.

CHENG and KIM were tied at 111-111 at the end of the 12 arrows. KIM was leading 84-82, but a triple 9 in the last end gave an opening to CHENG to tie the match with 10-9-10. The tie break then required each archer to shoot the maximum three arrows each before the gold medallist finally emerged. Perfect 10s by both archers in the first two shots took it to the very last arrow, in which the flawless shooting of KIM secured him the glory, shooting another 10 to CHENG’s 9. What a great and fitting end to the week of action in Beijing. The archers will now have less than a year to brush up their skills ready for the big event at next years Olympics.

We have been promised translations in Hebrew and Greek and would hope that we can also obtain a translation in Standard Arabic to be able to share the KSL knowledge in these regions.

Catalan: is a Romance language, the national language of Andorra and co-official in the Spanish autonomous communities of Balearic Islands, Valencia (under the name Valencian) and Catalonia. Spain has the majority of active Catalan speakers. It is spoken or understood by approximately 10 million people who live not only in Andorra and Spain, but also in parts of southwestern France (most of Pyrénées Orientales) and in the city of Alghero in Sardinia, Italy.

This now makes for the tenth language and it is through the generosity of other archers and archery officials that we are able to come closer to realising our objective of sharing the knowledge of one of the great archery coaches in modern times with the rest of the archery world.

We have been promised a Brazilian Portuguese translation and also for French, which will make for twelve languages....FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

One of the major languagesstill missing is French. We are hoping that, through the kind efforts of a yet to be indentified generous French archer, this can be rectified in the not too distant future.
Vive la France!

We are pleased to advise that the KSL Shot Cycle has now also been translated into Swedish by courtesy of the efforts of Claes Colmeus from Sweden. We also understand that the Swedish National Coach has emailed all Swedish archers and recommends them to read the KSL Shot Cycle.

Kisik Lee will be flying to Italy to conduct a BEST seminar for Italy's top federal coaches in the Sports Center Saini in Milan on December 16 and 17, before he flies back for a well deserved two weeks Christmas break back in Australia with his family.

Our web site has been relatively inactive during the last month, which has been mainly due to restructuring and redesign of the website. This, as you will appreciate, takes a lot of time.
We would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to Jonathan Ohayon, who has given so freely of his time and talents to create this outstanding web site. We are sure you agree.
We are always amazed by the generosity of our fellow archers, all over the world, who contribute to this website through translation of the KSL Shot Cycle in their native languages; the translation of Total Archery now in Spanish. It is through this that we are encouraged to continue to bring the latest coaching information from one of the world’s top coaches to archers world wide. We are a non-profit organisation and bring you this website for the love of the sport.

We are very pleased to be able to bring you the KSL Shot Cycle now also in the German language through the kinds efforts of Andreas Hinrichs. We just received the translation without any preamble or requests and are very much indebted to Andreas and those archers who give their time freely to translate the shot cycle in their language so that their countrymen and women, who may not be as fluent in English, may also benefit from this important piece of coaching information. Coach Lee and myself wish to make this available to as many archers in the world at no cost and any translations in any language are very much welcomed.

We are happy to announce that the KSL Shot Cycle has now been translated into Hungarian through the kind efforts of Borbély László, a member of the Hungarian Olympic Committee.

Total Archery has now been translated into Japanese, Italian and Chinese; French and Spanish are in the making. Translation of an entire book is an enormous task, as everybody will appreciate. However, we consider the KSL Shot Cycle to be extremely important in the total scheme of things and we are very much indebted to people like Borbély László who want to share this important piece of information with their countrymen, who may not be as fluent in English as they are. We will be happy to host any other language translation of the KSL Shot Cycle on this website. Please contact us for further details.

We have just received advice that the Italian Archery Association will be adopting Total Archery, which has been translated in Italian by Spigarelli, as their text book. Copies should be available in the very near future.
