Shooter Warren Potent slept through a fire evacuation of Australias Olympic building which has forced a revamp of emergency plans.Potent was oblivious to the fire in the basement of Australias residence at the athletes village, which team hierarchy believe was started by a cigarette tossed into piles of rubbish by a local worker.Fire alarms had been deactivated at the time of Fridays fire, and Potent says he wasnt woken by door-knocking or phone calls to evacuate.I didnt know it even happened, to be honest, Potent told reporters on Saturday.We had our protocol in place but it doesnt actually work when Im asleep and the phone is on silent, unfortunately.Australian chef de mission Kitty Chiller, flanking Potent at a media conference, was troubled the 54-year-old wasnt evacuated with about 100 other members of the Australian team.Sorry Warren, Im glad you got a good little power nap there but its something that I will take back to make sure that doesnt happen again, she said.Chiller and her emergency support team have now elected fire wardens for each of the 18 floors of the Australian residence at the village.Overnight, firemen were stationed on all floors, and security guards in the basement, in a temporary measure.Australian officials were unaware that fire alarms had been deactivated.Obviously that is completely unacceptable that a) the fire alarm was disabled and b) that if it had to be, that we werent warned about that, Chiller said.There had been numerous people given approval to deactivate the alarms - now there was just one, she said.Australian hierarchy have since triple-checked the fire alarms were working after Chiller met with Rio 2016 organisers and the International Olympic Committee.There was no point in laying blame or saying `could have or should have at that point last night, she said.It was just making sure that all our team was safe and the building was safe for that night.Chiller last Sunday refused to allow the Australians to take residence in their building, number 23 at the village, because of safety concerns.The team moved in three days later after hasty repairs.It was just `really, of all the 31 buildings, it had to be building 23 after everything that has happened, Chiller said.I dont think you could write that script.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- There was nothing the least bit shaky about South Korean archer Kim Woojins world-record performance at the Olympics.He was in such a rhythm that a wobbly piece of plywood the competitors stood on to shoot failed to even distract him.Kim set a recurve world record with a score of 700 on Friday during the qualifying round of archery at the Rio de Janeiro Games.A perfect score is 720, with archers shooting a total of 72 arrows. The results of the qualifying round are used determine the seedings for the bracketed tournament next week.Of Kims 72 arrows, 52 were in the 10 ring, which is the highest score. He didnt have an arrow score below a nine.Still, he didnt have time to revel in his feat. Theres a team competition the following day and his focus was on medals, not records.Today, it doesnt feel that important, Kim said through a translator.His fellow competitors were impressed enough for him:-Really, really fantastic, David Pasqualucci of Italy said.-He was perfect. Its a big incentive for me, to go further, to go higher and higher, Marcus DAlmeida of Brazil said.-The fact he shot a 700 is amazing, said Brady Ellison of the United States, who finished second in qualifying with a score of 690. Shouldve been five or six points higher, too.In Ellisons opinion, thats because of a creaky surface. There was scaffolding on the ground and on top of that was a thin piece of plywood. It tended to shift each time someone moved in the long line of shooters.Its not enough to really, really hurt you, or enough to make a huge complaint about it. But I do believe it cost the whole field a few points, said Ellison, who combined with teammates Zach Garrett and Jake Kaminski to finish second as a team behind the South Koreans in qualifying. Kims (score) is just really impressive.In womens qualifying, South Koreas Choi Misun was on Olympic-record pace until a breeze picked up in the middle of the competition. She finished with a score of 669, which was slightly ahead of her teammates Chang Hye-JJin (666) and Ki Bo-Bae (663).ddddddddddddThe Olympic mark is held by Ukraines Lina Herasymenko, who scored 673 at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Ki has the womens world record of 686, which she set in 2015.We had bad conditions compared to this morning, but the result was good so I have some confidence, said Choi, whose nation has won seven straight Olympic gold medals in the womens team event. We have the best players, we have talent and skill. Its so windy that people can get overwhelmed, but we (did) well in the end.Kim certainly settled into the Sambadrome quite nicely, with the walls making any sort of breeze hardly detectable. There also were newly added Olympic logos on a green backdrop behind the target that gave the archers better depth perception.And Kim took advantage.He opened with a 10 and was just warming up.On his final arrow, he connected on a 10 to beat the previous mark of 699 for 72 arrows set by Im Dong-hyun of South Korea at the 2012 London Games. Im is the visually impaired archer whose story made headlines in London. He didnt make a strong South Korean team for Rio thats obviously led by Kim.I think three years, four years ago, only the compound bow can (score a) 700, Pasqualucci said, alluding to another form of bow used in other competitions but not at the Olympics. Thats not correct now. Its amazing.Kim was the overwhelming favorite heading into the Olympics and did nothing to dispel that belief.Today was just a ranking, said Kim, a two-time individual world champion. Tomorrow the match is more important. Want to focus on tomorrow -- not really be happy today.DAlmeida also is a medal favorite and wound up 34th in qualifying. He insisted the pressure of competing in his backyard doesnt add extra stress.Doesnt make a difference, DAlmeida said. Its difficult everywhere.---Follow AP Sports Writer Pat Graham on Twitter: http://twitter.com/pgraham34 ' ' '
