Permaul indicated, "My qualifier was underwhelming. It seems on the international circuit, it takes more time to acclimate. The next step is to at least shoot the minimum score (640) for the Olympics."
DeAbreu said, “I Found it difficult to get in a groove as I had a minor injury to my draw finger, going forward, I’ll create a more specific training routine and try to free up more time allocated to training mentally and physically.
