Archery: in Castellarano the Tricolori field, Noziglia and Morello the great awaited

After having excellently organized in the summer of 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, one of the four competitions that Fitarco had called “restart competitions”, necessary to be able to draw up regulations that took into account the health emergency, the federation reaffirmed its confidence to the Sportinsieme company – XL Archery Team archery section of Castellarano to host, from today to Sunday, the 30th Italian Championship of the field shooting specialty, the archery discipline in which the Azzurri recently cleared the podium with two gold medals and a bronze at the World Games in Birmingham (USA). The archery discipline of field shooting, which in international terms is defined as “field”, is particularly suitable for enhancing historical places and the scenic and natural beauties of a territory, considering that it takes place along paths with targets positioned on slopes, at distances known and unknown. In the city renowned for its Rocchetta, where the pitches for the decisive challenges for the podium will be set up, a caravan of around 500 archers from every corner of Italy arrived yesterday, from junior classes to masters, who will compete starting today to win the class and overall titles.

DIVISIONS AND COMPETITION FIELDS

The divisions competing at the Tricolori fields are the Olympic archery (recurve), the compound archery, the barebow (barebow) and the longbow.

The absolute team and individual finals will instead be held on Sunday in Piazza XX Luglio, in the historic centre, in and around the Rocchetta di Castellarano. The matches will be broadcast live on the federation’s YouTube channel and a summary will be broadcast on Raisport in the coming days.

TRICOLORS WITH A VIEW ON THE WORLD CUP

Since the dawn of this discipline, Italy has played the role of national leader, as demonstrated by the international successes of the Azzurri who have often reached the top three places in the medal table by nation in world and continental events. The last few appointments have reaffirmed the quality of the Italian specialists, as demonstrated by the first place in the medal table at the 2021 European Championships in Porec, where Italy literally dominated the medal table with 13 golds, 6 silvers and 7 bronzes, thanks to the performances of the seniors and of the juniors. Even the results obtained at the recent World Games in Birmingham underlined the ability of Italian archers, capable of winning gold in bare archery with Cinzia Noziglia, who enjoys the favors of the prediction for the Italian flag, gold in women’s recurve with Chiara Rebagliati – who is instead engaged in Medellin for the World Cup – and the bronze with Marco Morello, who will instead attempt the assault on the Italian campaign title in Castellarano, as well as the bare archery specialist Giuseppe Seimandi. Of course, all the Azzurri will be followed closely by coach Giorgio Botto, who will also be based on the performances provided this weekend to define the squad for the next World Cup which will close the 2022 international season: the world championship will take place in Yankton, in the United States United, from 3 to 9 October and they will tell us if Italy in archery will be able to confirm itself for the umpteenth time at the top international level.
