Wind frustrates Russian archers despite qualifciation at European Games

Russian Federation archer Natalia Erdynieva has spoken of her frustration with the wind despite advancing to the women's team quarter-finals in Baku.

Erdynieva and her teammates overcame Switzerland 6-2 in the last 16 this afternoon, and will play France on Thursday for a place in the semi-finals.

"In the first and second series of the ranking round we made mistakes, but we were sure we could win and we picked ourselves up," Erdynieva told reporters.

"I was shooting and the wind was blowing the arrows about. In the end I stopped looking at them, because they were not going as expected, they felt light in the wind."

In the ranking round earlier in the day, Russia finished second behind Germany.
