Longines Prize for Precision: JONES & GELLENTHIEN on top of the rankings

The Longines Prize for Precision awards the most precise male and female athletes throughout the World Cup season. Athletes who shoot the most 10s during their individual qualifications, in matches as of the 1/16 elimination round and at the Final, win a Longines watch, a trophy and a cheque of 5,000 Swiss Francs.

Both athletes were on top of each of the rankings before the World Cup Final and kept their lead until the end. Erika JONES, who won the silver medal in Paris after being beaten by Alejandra USQUIANO, finished the World Cup season with 379 10s. Braden GELLENTHIEN was also shooting for the gold today but lost against Martin DAMSBO in the final match. GELLENTHIEN reached 447 10s this season.

The Longines Prize for Precision award was first established in 2010, awarding recurve athletes in even years and compound athletes in odd years. The Prize will therefore be awarded to recurve athletes in 2014.
