Jean-Charles Valladont (after the defeat of the French against the Americans): “In the second set, I didn’t have time to shoot my last arrow because we were long together on the shooting range, and at the last moment there was a little lack of communication between us which so I didn’t know where I was at the time. We did three ends, on the first we only lost by one point, that puts a little doubt. The second I made a very bad arrow and we tangled the brushes, the third we unrolled as best we could, with a little emotion being at the foot of the wall. We did a decent end but they had confidence … It’s no wonder they picked us up so quickly. The strategy to have is to draw the positive. Today (Monday), we really miss it, my colleagues did very well for their first arrows in counted shooting (Valladont had participated in the mixed Saturday), for them, it bodes very well for the individual. “
“We are devastated, yes, because we must not make mistakes like that”
Pierre Plihon : “They were better. There was a end that we could take and there was this lack of communication, where I had to give Jean-Charles time and I was so absorbed in the shot that I completely forgot the stopwatch. It gave the Americans confidence, behind they are 58 (out of 60 possible), they shot really well, and we weren’t good enough to beat them. We are devastated, yes, because we must not make mistakes like that. “
Thomas Chirault: “We lost, it’s done, we have to move on. You have to take the positive points out of these three ends. Jean-Charles had the chance to participate in the mixed and manage this arena, he had a little experience here, Pierre and I are going to use this experience to start the individual part (from Tuesday on) in the best possible way. “
