With qualifying action scheduled for tomorrow and the finals on Sunday (December 2) at The Venetian, none of the compound finalists on either the men’s or women’s side are on the entry list and neither are either of the recurve winners.

Among those not taking part in the men’s recurve is world number two, Steve Wiljer.

The Dutchman, the winner the last time out in Strassen in Luxembourg, has given himself no chance of making it two from two in Macau.

Meanwhile, in the women’s recurve competition, 14-year-old sensation Casey Kaufhold of the United States is also not on the entry list.

The teenager was another of the winners in Strassen in what was her first senior event overseas, though perhaps understandably at such a young age, she has chosen not to travel the long distance to China.

In the men’s compound event, neither of the finalists from Strassen, including the world number two Stephan Hansen of Denmark, are taking part and the same can be said for the women’s event.

Neither Slovenia’s Toja Ellison, winner of the gold medal last time out, or Russia’s Viktoria Balzhanova, the silver medallist, will be in Macau.

For those that are taking part, however, qualifying action will take place tomorrow to establish who will shoot in the finals on Sunday afternoon.
