Fifth continent wins medal: Nimes individual finals

After missing out on big individual podiums since her Olympic silver in London, Aida ROMAN’s still got it, that’s now indisputable. Plus, Ryan TYACK is one to keep an eye on: he didn’t lose a set until the gold medal match.

Did you know Sergio PAGNI had never won a world title before? He’s had back-to-back World Cup Final golds… and now he’s got a top indoor gong.

Switching from elite recurve to elite compound is possible, as Beijing medallist Sophie DODEMONT proved.

Fifteen is the new 20 – and schools for athletes yield big results.

Most of all: we learnt that archery is a truly global sport, from grassroots to elite levels, when all five continents climbed the podium. Awesome! We’re already looking forward to more of the same when the World Cup season starts in April. See you then.
