“It all happened on Saturday, June 19,” says Picard. It was a very long day where we had to be present from morning until evening, until the last arrow. It was a long-term job. The reward at the end was great. “
“We are not going to deprive ourselves”
Performing at the Games is the ambition of the 23-year-old archer. “The objective at the Games will be to win a medal,” says the Stade Clermontois licensee. I think we have the potential to do that in teams. We are not going to deprive ourselves. We will try to go as far as possible. On an individual level, in an archery match anything can happen. It is enough to be present at the moment T for it to go very well. If there can be an individual medal, that would be great. “

We will be able to train and prepare for this deadline together. July 17 will be the starting day for the Games. “
But at only 23 years old, Thomas Chirault sees even further. “In three years, it will be the Paris Games, recognizes the Clermontois. Of course, that’s a goal. The Tokyo Olympics will help prepare those who will take place at home in 2024. ”The archery event of the Olympics comes quickly.
