London 2012 Olympics: Rowdy schoolchildren called on to help prepare archers for Games Sara Symington, Archery GB's performance director for the Olympics and Paralympics, has invited schools throughout the county to come and heckle the British competitors to prepare them for the pressures of London 2012 as they shoot for Olympic places at the national sports centre on April 19-21. "Being at the Olympics is more than just making good scores," said Symington. It's about using the crowd to enhance performance. At Lord's, there's going to be more than 5,000 spectators cheering them on, which is fantastic, but many of them will have never seen an archery event before and won't know the protocol, so they'll just be cheering incessantly. For all those local schools who are willing and kind enough to be a part of it, they will do so knowing they are playing a big part in preparing our archers for the London Olympics and helping our archers to be in the mix for medals.
