CELEBRATIONS AND WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

—

Japan’s feast of emotions and medals must not take away the appetite. The archery season is not over and the meeting in Rome is the first step in view of the world championship that will be held in Yankton (USA), from 19 to 29 September, where the National Compound will also be competing. This technical meeting will also allow the Federal Council, which will meet at the CPO “Giulio Onesti” on Thursday 25 August, to celebrate the two medals won in Tokyo, thanking the protagonists of this great undertaking: for the first time, Fitarco boasts two medals in one single edition of the Games. He did it with 2 of the 4 athletes on the field. It is not cheap.
