Archery: Destination Kraków for Brits

The European qualifier for Archery will take place in the coming days at Plaszowianka Archery Park in Kraków, Poland. It is part of a multi-sports club.

The first event hierarchically is actually the World Championships in July and August. That will qualify three teams. The winner of the European Games, or the best team not already qualified will be retrospectively awarded a spot.

The winning team also gets three individual spots: but there are some individual places. The winner of the mixed team competition (or best not already qualified) will get one man and one woman in individual events (which automatically enters you into the mixed team). Finally, there are two individual spots.

For GB, on the Men’s side is Monty Orton, James Woodgate, and Alex Wise. Orton was European youth champion and was also team champion alongside Woodgate, who also entered Tokyo 2020 (where he was eliminated in the first round). Wise won a silver medal in the mixed team at the Antalya World Cup stage.

On the Women’s side is Penny Healey, Byrony Pitman, and Jaspreet Sagoo. British women have been exciting with Healey and Pitman leading a British 1-2 in the rankings. Both have won World Cup stages, while Sagoo has joined them in winning team medals.

The ranking round will be on 23 June at 07:45 (W) and 12:00 (M). Later will be the Mixed Team Rounds of 32 and 16. On 24 June will be the Women and Men team events until completion. On 25 June there will be Mixed Team until completion. On 26 June there will be Round of 64 and Round of 32 action in the Men’s Individual, and on 27 June the Women’s. On 28 June the Women will play to the end and on 29 June the men.
