Silver storm in Antalya: FSG Tacherting enthusiastic about the archery World Cup!

In the picturesque backdrop of Antalya, Türkiye, the German Recurve-Bogen shooters shone at the current World Cup, including the athletes of the FSG Tacherting. With a lot of commitment and a strong team performance, you get silver twice. This was the third stop in the first year of competition after the Olympic Games and follows the competitions in the USA and China, as the PNP reports.

The start of the "Super Sunday" for the German team started 0: 4 behind the Olympic champions from Korea, but the athletes demonstrated a remarkable fighting spirit. The German team, led by Florian Unruh, Moritz Wieser and Jonathan Vetter, used the special competition rules, in which hits in the X zone are rated with 11 rings. This helped the German archers to increase greatly in the decisive phases.

: team and individual competitions

In the team competition, the Germans achieved impressive victories in the knockout phase-6: 2 against Belgium, 6-2 against the USA and 5: 1 against France. In the final, they initially lagged behind, but were able to equalize to 4: 4. The jump -off finally decided Kim Woojin for South Korea, who secured victory with a ten. Despite the tight result, the national coach Oliver Haidn is very satisfied with the results: "Two medals and fourth places are a strong performance," quotes the DSB.

The archers wanted to score a lot in the individual competition. Jonathan Vetter achieved fourth place with fourth place, while Florian Unruh lost in the quarter -finals against Baptiste Addis. Kathi Bauer, who finished 8th in qualification, achieved second place in the mixed team and admitted second place after the competition: "We are proud of our performance."

success factors in the world of archery

The joy of the success in Antalya is also reflected in the growing popularity of archery. According to the statistics of Bogen100, sport in Germany and Europe is becoming increasingly popular. Germany has recorded leaders of medals, such as the 2022 European Championship in Munich, where five medals were won, with Michelle Kroppen as a "EM queen".

The next steps have already been determined: after the World Cup, the home training and the World Cup qualification in Munich will follow. "Here we are hot to continue the success," says a committed athlete. With continued highly motivated athletes such as Moritz Wieser and Katharina Bauer, we will continue to expect a lot of positive things from archery in the future. So that is certainly no reason to rest - on the contrary, it continues to work hard to collect even more medals.

For all fans of the archery, it remains exciting how the German athletes will beat the next challenge, the 2024 Olympics in Paris. All eyes are aimed at them - and rightly so!
