Justine Morin Secures Silver in Archery at 53rd Finale des Jeux du Québec

The 53rd Finale des Jeux du Québec in Thetford has delivered a standout moment for the Chaudière-Appalaches delegation, as Justine Morin captured the silver medal in archery. Morin, hailing from Saint-Pierre-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud, climbed the podium after a strong performance in the concentric event using a compound bow.

For those unfamiliar with the discipline, the “concentrique” or concentric event focuses on precision shooting at a target with concentric rings, where the compound bow—known for its system of pulleys and cams—allows for greater accuracy and stability than traditional bows.

A Strong Day for Chaudière-Appalaches

Morin’s silver medal was a key highlight in a highly productive day for her region. The Chaudière-Appalaches delegation collected a total of 14 medals during the competition, signaling a dominant run for the area’s youth athletes in Thetford.

The regional success extended beyond the archery range. Rosalie Drapeau, from Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies, likewise contributed to the medal count by securing a bronze medal in the 3,000-meter race walk, finishing in third place.

Regional Impact and Performance

The achievement by Morin underscores the growing talent pool in the Chaudière-Appalaches region. Securing a podium finish at the Finale des Jeux du Québec is a significant milestone for any young athlete, marking them as one of the top competitors in their age group and discipline within the province.

As the 53rd Finale des Jeux du Québec continues, the focus remains on the final standings and the remaining events for the various regional delegations.
