Britton elected para archery athlete representative

Pippa Britton, from Great Britain, was re-elected for the term 2015-2019, after serving in the role since the Turin 2011 World Archery Para Championships.

She was the only candidate, and was elected in by majority: 202 yes, 17 no and eight abstentions.

At the Copenhagen 2015 World Archery Congress, the decision was made to move the para athlete representative from the Athletes Committee to the Para Archery Committee.

Pippa is one of her nation’s most decorated para archers, having won several team and individual medals at world championships. She won team silver in Turin after coming with two team golds in 2009 and 2007. In the early  years of her competitive career, Pippa won individual silver in 2001 and bronze in 2005.
