I bring home some good sensations, some nice arrows. And a fantastic audience, never seen before: it is an important signal for the entire movement”
“Elisabetta Mijno: a living monument of archery”
“Elisabetta Mijno, born in 1986, a living monument of archery. A champion who, in everyday life, plays the role of surgeon at the CTO in Turin. And who, as soon as she has a minute between shifts other, reaches the field and positions herself on the firing line to cultivate an absolute talent, mixed with commitment, sacrifice and passion, which has also seen her several times participate in international events together with the able-bodied and get on the podiums of Italian Championships (always able-bodied). The demonstration that this sport is truly capable of breaking down barriers”, this is what they say about her in the amateur sports association Arcieri delle Alpi.
