Insight on Olympic Solidarity Scholarship holder Dorji DOLMA (BHU)
Lausanne – 2 March 2012
In order to promote the Olympic Solidarity programmes, particularly the athletes’ scholarship programme for the London 2012Olympic Games preparation, World Archery interviewed Dorji DOLMA from Bhutan to give an insight on her Olympic preparation.
World Archery now has a total of 15 archers benefiting of the two year prior Olympic Games scholarship programme. The scholarship covers the expenses for training and participation at Olympic qualifying tournaments, World Championships and etc.
Dorji DOLMA said that she has been experiencing a great adventure for her Olympic preparation: "Olympic Solidarity programmes provide a series of development programmes which gives a good opportunity to prepare for the Olympic Games. Thanks to the World Archery Partner Centres, I’m able to improve and upgrade my skills in a learning atmosphere. This scholarship has improved my training conditions to be better prepared for competitions."
She is among the two lucky archers from Bhutan that have been granted a scholarship for the London 2012 Olympic Games and she is now training at the Bangkok Training Centre. She completed secondary level education and has become a professional archer. She is a member of the Bhutan Archery Federation as an archer since 1997 and is currently working fulltime. Her ultimate dream is to become a successful archer and win medals for her country. Sports and physical fitness are two of her favourite subjects that she practices and learns with great interest.
Dorji DOLMA learned the existence of the Olympic Solidarity scholarship directly from her National Olympic Committee since she was selected for this programme.
World Archery is still far from its goal in terms of number of scholarships in archery. However, progress is being made compared to the last quadrennial. World Archery encourages their Member Associations to apply for Olympic Solidarity programmes for the development of archery worldwide. All information related to these programmes can be found in the Olympic Solidarity Guide 2009-2012.
