Athlete of the Week: Petra GOEBEL (AUT)
Lausanne – 6 September 2011
The Austrian compound archer Petra GOEBEL (maiden name FRIEDL) won two medals at the World Archery 3D Championships in her home country last weekend: individual silver and team bronze. An all-round archer, she has also won several medals and titles in field archery (World Championships and World Games), and she is also a competitive athlete in outdoor target archery.
Petra GOEBEL has been shooting since 1992. She achieved her best successes between 2001 and 2005, reaching the top 1 place of the world ranking in July 2003 (currently, she is 75th).
At the end of 2005, the Austrian was unable to shoot for half a year due to health problems and then again in 2007. As a result, she was not up to participate in any competition in 2006 and 2007.
Back on track, GOEBEL achieved strong results in 2009 with the highlight being the World Games title in Kaohsiung, Chinese Taipei. This year, she finished 17th at the World Championships in Turin in July and has just clinched two medals at the 3D World Championships "at home" a few days ago.
