The competition continued. The third day's events were archery and 100 meters. In the morning, archery was done with hands, and in the afternoon, 100 meters was done with legs. It can be said that the program team was very considerate.
Archery directly adopts the individual ranking competition system. Each archer shoots 24 arrows, and the champion, runner-up and third place are determined by the total score.
In the Olympic Games, each archer is required to shoot a total of 72 arrows in the individual ranking competition. However, the production team took into consideration that no one was a professional athlete and was afraid that their hands would be crippled after shooting 72 arrows, so they simply compressed it to 24.
And to be honest, we are all rookies. There is almost no difference between 24 arrows and 72 arrows. Who can improve their skills so rapidly with just a few dozen arrows?
Sports are not that simple. Even a genius cannot achieve good results in a short period of time. It requires long-term hard training to turn reactions into reflexes and integrate techniques into one's bones and blood.
Although Zhao Si seemed to have easily learned table tennis and badminton, and played well, that was all thanks to his 20 years of diligent training, which had cultivated his excellent physical fitness and reflexes. And to be honest, Zhao Si didn't really learn them; he could just play, but he didn't have the skills.
Everyone is very interested in archery competitions, especially boys. No matter what their level is, at least this project looks very interesting. Which man doesn't have a dream of becoming a hero?
Holding a bow and shooting an eagle is so spectacular and shocking.
Looking at the eager crowd, Sunan asked Zhao Si, "Can you shoot arrows?"
Zhao Si nodded, "Yes."
Zhao Si knew archery, after all, hunting wasn't just about close combat; he also needed ranged weapons. His archery skills weren't great, not even as good as his brothers', let alone his master's. When an eagle flew by, his master and brothers could hit his eyes, but he could only hit his chest.
Sunan understood and gave up signing up. After yesterday's enthusiastic signing up for the long jump, Sunan had already realized that Zhao Si was an athletic freak. He could instantly learn and win championships in badminton and table tennis, which he didn't know, not to mention archery, which he knew. Sunan decided not to be cannon fodder.
However, Sunan did not give up completely. He secretly analyzed that under the current situation, their team of six would most likely win the championship. Since it was a team competition, he would naturally have a share of the championship. It was impossible for the program crew to be stingy and only prepare one trophy for a team of four people. So he felt that as long as he took good care of Zhao Si, he would naturally get the gold cup.
His requirements were not high, one was enough. Sunan sat happily in the stands, imagining himself in the midst of cheers and applause, holding flowers and a trophy high in his hands, and experiencing a passionate scene.
In the end, there were 40 contestants who registered, including 10 girls and 30 boys. It was obvious that everyone liked this event very much.
Archery is not like running and table tennis that everyone is familiar with, and it is also somewhat dangerous, so the program team set aside time for everyone to learn first and invited several professional coaches to teach skills.
The learning effect seemed to be quite good. At least everyone looked quite competent, not as dismal as the production team had previously imagined. In fact, the production team had already informed the guests of the competition items before the official recording of the variety show, and everyone had more or less found time to learn and practice. Only Zhao Si and Su Nan were delayed due to Gu Lingfeng's accidental injury.
The practice is over and the archery competition officially begins.
The competition once again prioritized women, with their archery range set at 18 meters. Under bright sunlight, the central lawn of the sports field was designated as the archery competition venue. Ten women stood in a row, wearing uniform archery equipment, each with a look of focus and determination.
There is a row of archery targets on the grass, and next to it is a large electronic screen. Everyone's archery results will be displayed on it in real time for everyone to see.
Nowadays, many professional competitions have adopted high-tech electronic target reporting systems, but the program team does not have such conditions and still uses primitive methods. Therefore, there are a few handsome young men on standby not far from the target. After one group finishes shooting, they quickly run up to look at the target, and then write it down in a small notebook and pass it to the data entry personnel.
In order to save time, all the girls shot arrows together. At a command, the bowstrings were released, and ten arrows flew out of the wind and headed straight for the target.
Uh... four arrows fell in front of me, two arrows fell halfway, only four arrows reached the target and one missed the target.
The results were somewhat dismal, with only three archers reporting results. The target caller scurried up to the target like the wind, and the results were quickly displayed on the big screen. Surprisingly, however, these three archers' scores were quite impressive, with one even hitting the ten-ring mark.
The boys who were originally worried because most of the girls missed the target felt that they were fine again. It’s just archery. If the girls can get a perfect score, it’s no big deal for them.
The ten-ring score gave the crowd a boost of confidence, making them even more eager to try. Only the girls competing knew it wasn't that easy. The bows and arrows were heavy, and some felt their hands shaking after just one shot. With 23 more arrows to go, they wondered if they'd even be able to lift the bows.
The one who shot the ten-ring shot was Zhang Yao from Team 10. She's a true athlete, having done very well in all the events she's participated in. The other two girls scored a 7-ring shot and a 5-ring shot, both also quite good.
The competition continued, with some getting better and better, while others remained utterly terrible. By the second half, with only eight arrows left, everyone's strength was running out, their arms trembling like sieves.
The final results were released, and as expected, Zhang Yao from Team 10 took first place with a score of 186. Second place went to a girl from Team 4 with a score of 163. Third place went to a girl from Team 8 with a score of 150.
Because of Zhao Si's wonderful performance and the hype of the program team, there are now a lot more people watching the live broadcast of the game than before. The program team is shameless and will not miss any opportunity to make money. Not only is the competition venue full of advertising banners, the program team also added a popularity award and opened a voting channel in the live broadcast room. In the end, the three most popular players can also get trophies.
Voting is very simple. As long as you top up your VIP account on Souxun Video, you can get voting qualifications. Ordinary members can vote 10 times a day, and super members can vote 20 times a day. Of course, if you want more votes, you have to spend extra money. 1 yuan is 5 votes, but you can only buy 10 yuan of additional tickets per day. Today is the first day of the opening.
The women's competition concluded, and netizens voted for their favorite contestants. Zhang Yao came in first, but her vote count wasn't high. The entertainment industry isn't about talent alone; it relies on popularity and fans. She's just a small sports blogger, and her fan base couldn't compare to a real star, even if that star is just an 18th-tier star.
The director was so happy watching the number of votes rising so fast. These were all real money. Although they would not go directly into his pocket, they were all counted as his KPI, and he would get a lot in the end. There would also be advertising revenue share, which made him feel happy just thinking about it.
