Archers to watch at the 2024 European Archery Championships: Lisa Barbelin can regain her European title
Lisa Barbelin finds the scene on which it was revealed. In June 2021, she became European champion at just 21 years old. This performance at the heart of a spring also marked by two Grand Prix medals even allowed him to become world number 1. Now 13th in the global hierarchy, the Frenchwoman remains one of the best Europeans and has proven her ability to shine in major events, such as her second place in the World Cup in Paris last summer.
She is not the only one Tricolor to have distinguished itself at this level in recent months. At the end of April, for the first stage of the season, Thomas Chirault took fourth place in the World Cup in Shanghai. Such a performance is necessarily promising to launch the Olympic year. Jean-Charles Valladont is also one of the most anticipated French archers at these European Championships and at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The silver medalist of the JO de Rio 2016 is a real reference at the national level. If French individuals can have ambitions, this is also the case for collectives! The French women’s team notably remains on silver medals in the 2023 European Games and to 2023 World Championships.
Among the main rivals of the French archers in Essen, we find in particular the Italian Mauro Nespoliworld number 3, the Spaniard Andres Temino Mediumwinner of the Shanghai World Cup or the Turk Mete Gazozreigning Olympic champion, among men.
On the women’s side, Lucilla Boaribronze medalist at Tokyo 2020, Penny Healeysixth in the world at only 19 years old or Marie Horackovareigning world champion, are among the favorites.
