In the competition, I was extremely nervous. My nerves got the better of me in the semifinal round when I made a mistake, but I was able to clean up my performance in the final round against Nicolas Girard. To win tournaments now, you have to give it your all and hope that it’s enough. Schloesser gave his all and emerged as the winner, while Priyansh gave his all but unfortunately lost.
The Bangkok 2023 Asian men’s team champion, Schloesser, achieved a perfect score of 150 in his semifinal round against Mathias Fullerton, the eventual bronze medalist. However, in the final round, Schloesser shot a nine when it mattered the most, allowing Mister Perfect to shoot perfectly twice and secure the win. Despite not winning gold, Priyansh remained upbeat and expressed his excitement for qualifying for Tlaxcala.
In Antalya 2024, Elisa Roner had to win the compound women’s individual gold match to qualify for Tlaxcala. She defeated top archers Ella Gibson and Meeri-Marita Paas to reach her first World Cup final. Roner was overwhelmed with emotion as she expressed her joy at fulfilling her childhood dream after winning gold in Antalya.
The final day of Antalya 2024 is set for tomorrow with recurve team medal matches in the morning and individual matches in the afternoon. All events will be livestreamed on archery+ so fans can witness history being made!
