The archery club Diana-Sport-Arc, based in Bar-sur-Aube, France, enjoyed a successful outing at a competition held in Beine-Nauroy, Marne, on Sunday, March 22, 2026. The event, organized under the auspices of the UFOLEP (Union Française des Œuvres Laïques d’Éducation Physique), emphasized camaraderie and sportsmanship, creating a welcoming atmosphere for all participants. This focus on both competition and enjoyment perfectly embodied the values of the UFOLEP, blending concentration with leisure and a healthy dose of fun.
The competition at Beine-Nauroy wasn’t just about the scores; it was about the experience. Organizers were praised for their warm hospitality and the spirit of fair play among the archers contributed to a positive environment.

The UFOLEP, as noted on the Diana-sport-arc Réel Facebook page, prioritizes accessibility and passion for sport, and this event clearly demonstrated those principles.

It’s a testament to the club’s coaching and supportive environment that a first-time competitor could achieve such a result.
The podium also showcased the talents of more experienced archers. Isabelle Van-Ryseghem secured first place, followed closely by Sébastien Bouchard in second, and Régis Van-Ryseghem rounding out the top three. These seasoned competitors demonstrated the skill and dedication that come with consistent training and experience. Their success serves as an inspiration to newer members of the club, like Grolier, and reinforces the high level of archery practiced at Diana-Sport-Arc.
