the essential While organizing a selective archery tournament for the French championships, the Balma Arc Club is doing well.
The Balma Arc Club (BAC) organized an archery event (2 x 18 m) on Sunday, selective for the French championships, on the grounds of the Jean-Rostand gymnasium in Balma. “It’s a competition that brings together nearly 200 archers,” rejoiced President Vincent Denhez. A particularly popular tournament, with around fifty archers on the waiting list. “We were complete in 15 days! I have 25 years of archery behind me and I had never seen that!”, added the president. The competition benefited from the participation of David Jackson, World champion in field shooting and 3D shooting, and Alicia Baumert, European champion in field shooting and 3D shooting. And it was precisely on Sunday that Alicia Baumert achieved in Balma the minimums necessary for her selection for the European Indoor Shooting Championship, which will take place in Croatia in February 2024.
The Paralympic Games
With its 140 members, the BAC is also operating at maximum capacity. Leisure or competitive sport, the club offers a complete range of archery practice. And the Balmanese archers are impatiently awaiting the results of Aziza Benhami (BAC) at the qualifying tournament in Dubai in March, which will determine her selection for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. On paper, “Aziza ticks all the boxes, and she deserves to participate,” sighs Vincent Denhez. He insists: “Whatever happens, we are all behind her.”
