The Longines Prize for Precision awards the most precise male and female athlete throughout the World Cup season. Athletes that shoot the most 10s during their individual qualifications and matches as of the 1/16 elimination round win the trophy, a Longines watch and a cheque of 5,000 Swiss Francs. This year, the Longines Prize will be awarded during the Final in Paris, scheduled for 21-22 September.
The Longines Prize for Precision award was first established in 2010; awarding recurve athletes in even years and compound athletes in odd years. During the 2012 season, recurve shooters Brady ELLISON (USA) and KI Bo Bae (KOR) clinched this award for shooting the most 10s.
For 2013, Ameican Braden GELLENTHIEN (photo) in the men’s compound division, and Korean SEOK Ji Hyun in the women’s compound division, have emerged as the leaders for this year’s Longines Prize for Precision. The American, who overcame Martin DAMSBO (DEN) in the final, tops the men’s count with 123 10s. As for the Korean, who defeated Erika JONES (USA), she reaches 96 10s, in a very tight women’s competition.
Americans Rodger WILLETT Jr. (424 10s) and JONES (304 10s) were the 2011 winners with GELLENTHIEN ranked 3rd with 338 10s.
