Line-up announced for archery at the Birmingham 2022 World Games
The final list of archers who will compete at next week’s World Games has been released.
Nations had to win quota places for the event at qualifying events held over the past couple of years and through the world ranking. There were a total of 100 spaces available, 52 in the compound competitions split equally for men and women, and 12 each for recurve men, recurve women, barebow men and barebow women.
Compound archers compete in 50-metre target archery events at the World Games, while barebow and recurve archers compete in field archery events.
The largest team in Birmingham will be from the host nation with 11 athletes. The USA received one spot in each event automatically for holding the event and supplemented that allowance with additional qualifiers, including receiving a para ticket for Ben Thompson.
China’s He Zihao and Great Britain’s Phoebe Pine returned spots awarded for winning the last Paralympics. Phoebe’s was passed to the runner-up in Tokyo, Mariana Zuniga, making her – as far as World Archery’s records show – the first Chilean archer to ever compete at the World Games.
