Victoria Sebastian’s flawless journey
Bronze medalist on home soil last season and silver medalist in Las Vegas, Victoria Sebastian this time added gold to her list of achievements. The Nîmese achieved the feat of eliminating the reigning World Champion in the round of 16, the Korean, Kang Chaeyoung. Facing the world number 1, the Frenchwoman played the perfect match (6-2). Victoria Sebastian then displayed her know-how to reach the final against another Korean, Eunah Lee, with a very nice victory 7-1.
Jean-Charles Valladont and Baptiste Addis, two additional medals
Jean-Charles Valladont went for the silver after his good performance, notably with an intense semi-final against the Korean, Jaewoo Heo. By scoring a 10 in the shoot-off, Nîmes opened the doors to the final. Facing the Taiwanese Yu-Yang Su, Jean-Charles Valladont lost this time on a new shoot-off arrow (9).
