The penultimate day of the match ends with a bit of a bitter taste for the Azzurri 2024 European Archery Championships, currently taking place in Essen (Germany). In today’s afternoon session, reserved for individual finals of the compound divisionin fact a narrow defeat arrived for Elisa Roner against Ella Gibson in the match that put the continental title at stake.
The 22-year-old from Rovereto, after having won the Indoor World Series Finals in Las Vegas (in 2023 and then in 2024), the European Games 2023 in Krakow and the European Indoor Championships 2024 in Varazdin in the last 16 months, this time she had to settle for a still excellent silver medal (first individual podium in an absolute outdoor European Championship).
Roner had the merit of keeping up with the number one in the world ranking until the end of the fifth volley, equalizing the scores on 144-144 and playing it all on the playoff arrow. Unfortunately, the shoot-off then awarded the British Gibson 10-9. Finally, in the men’s competition, Danish Mathias Fullerton won 147-144 in the final over Israeli Shamai Yamrom.
