They are in the running to a new title. The couple of medalist archers of the Paris Games from Auvergne, Lisa Barbelin and Thomas Chirault, goes once again to conquer the world. They are currently playing in South Korea their qualification for the world championships.
These are almost the last arrows before flight. Lisa, Thomas and the French teams will once again measure the best in the world and challenge South Korea on its land. Thomas Chirault, team silver medalist at the Paris Olympic Games, explains: “It is important to know how to say and dare to say that we want to win and we can win. This allows you to show that you are ready on paper. When we are on the shot, you have to want to win”. Lisa Barbelin, bronze medalist at the Paris Olympic Games, adds: “I love this thing which consists in entering the head of the other. He starts to tremble when we write the scores. There it is good. There I have the ascendancy. I can go there with confidence. It shows that the boys use this. When they arrive on the field, they are proud in their approach, they are there. They arrive to win to win”.
This team looks good, as Lisa says. Since their silver medal at the Paris Games, boys continue to play the leading roles on the world scene. Romain Girouille, coach of the French men’s French arc team, specifies: “Paris was a boost, especially since they succeeded. It was a boost in terms of impactful environmental knowledge. There was so much waiting, so much stakes, so much audience, so much noise, everything was increased tenfold, that when you arrive on a world championship, you are no longer unarmed. We are much less than we could be before”.
On August 3, 2024, a few days after Thomas and his team silver medal, Lisa pocked the first Olympic medal in her life and won bronze. A grail of emotions falls on the licensee with Riomois archers. Lisa Barbelin says: “There was a post Jo blues. I wondered what we were doing after all this. What’s going on after having realized this dream of Paris 2024? What will Iimm me now? The solution was based on a change of speech. Now I don’t dream of being Olympic champion anymore, that’s my goal”.
The Archère has finally landed his chemistry license. Released from her studies, she can again focus on her sporting goals. The after-man also made it possible to gain living comfort. The couple who lived until the Olympic Games in a small insep room, the French Champions Factory, has finally equipped themselves with a new home a few steps from the Parisian training grounds. On the day of our visit, only Thomas will have time to go home. He underlines: “It was a little over 10 years each with Lisa that we were in boarding school, to prepare for sportingly, and there, it gives a new boost to have this new environment, for the next Olympiad. We restore to have a balance. We will still be able to derive additional things from it“. Lisa says:”We leave from the Paris Olympics with a medal each, in two different categories. We may have the ambition to mix together at the 2028 Olympic Games. It’s quite strong and I would dream of that. This is my goal. Bringing back a medal together would be the apotheosis”.
While waiting for America, there is Korea where we already hope to hear the metal of the Tinter medals.
