At the Archery World Cup Final in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, World Archery Executive Director and Acting Secretary General Juan Carlos Holgado spoke with infectious energy. 🏹 He’s thrilled that compound archery will finally take center stage in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic program with its first mixed team event. This is huge for fans and athletes alike!
“I am very excited about the potential for compound archery to attract more attention and receive increased media coverage,” Holgado said. 🎥 He emphasized that there will be just one gold medal for the mixed team event in LA, but this debut is only the beginning. “We’ll measure its impact, and who knows? There might even be tweaks ahead of Brisbane 2032. For now, our top priority is promoting this event’s growth.”
Holgado also highlighted how quickly the compound program is catching on in the Chinese mainland. “I had in-depth talks with team leaders, and they confirmed rapid development in compound archery. I expect their standards to rise significantly. While archers from the Chinese mainland haven’t cracked the world’s top ten yet, they benefit from a huge talent pool and strong team support. I’m looking forward to seeing them qualify for the mixed team event in three years.” 🎯
With fresh Olympic vibes on the horizon, compound archery is gearing up for its biggest stage yet. Whether you’re a sports enthusiast, a young investor eyeing new markets, or just love exploring global trends, this Olympic milestone promises to bring more excitement and opportunities for everyone! ✨
