World Archery first vice president Mario Scarzella, 74, has been re-elected president of the Italian archery federation for a seventh consecutive term, which will last until 2024, at the organisation’s general assembly in Rome.

He received 64% of the votes. Outgoing vice president Paolo Poddighe, the other presidential candidate, received 36%.
