Ten Italian archers take to the shooting line for Friday’s elimination rounds, spanning both recurve and compound divisions across a packed schedule running from the round of 32 down to the semifinals.
Recurve Division: Tough Draws and an Early Azzurri Derby
Mauro Nespoli faces Great Britain’s Smart, while Matteo Borsani meets Georgia’s Basiladze. The steepest climb belongs to Federico Musolesi, who draws host-nation favorite Mete Gazoz in a challenging matchup supported by the local crowd.
In the early afternoon, the women’s recurve category brings an immediate internal clash. Tatiana Andreoli and Chiara Rebagliati face each other in the round of 32, a pairing that guarantees Italy one spot in the round of 16 while eliminating another potential protagonist early. Roberta Di Francesco starts her campaign against Denmark’s Andersen in the same half of the bracket.
Compound Division: British Matchups and Elisa Roner’s Solo Run
In the non-olympic compound division, three Italian men enter the afternoon round of 32 with pairings against British opponents. Michea Godano draws a high-level test against France’s Boulch. For the women, Elisa Roner stands as the lone Italian entry in the bracket, opening her morning schedule against the Netherlands’ Van den Munckhof.
