She didn’t need anything to be the best shooter of all time, but she continues to enrich her legend. The Riscaraldense Sara López won her ninth World Cup title this Saturday, in Tlaxcala, Mexico.
The Colombian had perfect scores in her last three attempts to beat Estonia’s Meeri Marita Paas 147-146 in the final and win the gold medal. The bronze went to local Dafne Quintero, who defeated her compatriot Andrea Becerra.
This new title for Sara López adds to a long list of gold medals in World Championships and events in the Olympic cycle.
“I honestly don’t know what happened in that last arrow. I think I threw it almost without thinking and it was only until Jean (his coach) who shouted 10, that I knew I had 10. I’m super happy because from the morning I decided to do this for myself, I had in mind to make my best scores and That’s what I did. “Not only am I happy for myself, but because another Latin American archer was with me on the podium,” said Sara López.
