By [Your Name], Professional sports Moderator
The 2025 Finistère Archery Championships, held in Quimper on January 18th adn 19th, were nothing short of spectacular. The event showcased the incredible talent of archers from across the region, with standout performances from teams like Plourin’s young squad and the dominant male teams in both compound and recurve categories. To dive deeper into the event’s highlights and the strategies behind these victories, I had the privilege of interviewing Cédric Nectoux, a key member of the championship-winning compound bow team.
Cédric, a seasoned archer with over a decade of competitive experience, shared his insights on the competition, the team’s preparation, and the future of archery in Finistère.
The Road to Victory: A Team Effort
Moderator: Cédric, congratulations on your team’s victory at the Finistère Championships! Your team finished second in the qualifications but went on to win the finals. What do you think made the difference in the finals?
Cédric Nectoux: Thank you! The key was our ability to adapt. During the qualifications,we faced some challenges with wind conditions,which affected our consistency.However, we used that experience to refine our strategy for the finals. We focused on interaction and mental resilience, ensuring that each of us stayed calm and precise under pressure. It was truly a team effort—every member contributed to that victory.
Moderator: That’s fascinating. Speaking of teamwork, your teammate Thomas Lafaye mentioned in a post-event interview that the team’s chemistry was a major factor.How do you build that kind of synergy?
Cédric Nectoux: Chemistry doesn’t happen overnight.We’ve been training together for years, and that familiarity allows us to anticipate each other’s strengths and weaknesses. We also spend time off the field, which helps build trust.In archery, trust is everything—you need to know your teammates have your back, especially in high-stakes competitions.
The Rise of Young Talent
moderator: Let’s talk about the young team from Plourin—Gabriel Nectoux, Enora Lafaye, and Erell chalony Le Moigne.They secured third place in the qualifications and earned the title of vice-champions. What are your thoughts on thier performance?
Cédric Nectoux: I’m incredibly proud of them. Gabriel, in particular, has shown remarkable growth over the past year.The fact that they competed against more experienced teams and held their own speaks volumes about their potential. Enora and Erell also demonstrated remarkable focus and determination. I believe they’re the future of archery in Finistère.
moderator: Do you think the current training programs for young archers are sufficient to nurture this kind of talent?
Cédric Nectoux: While the programs are good, there’s always room for improvement. I’d like to see more emphasis on mental training and exposure to high-pressure scenarios. Competitions like the Finistère Championships are invaluable because they provide real-world experience that you can’t replicate in training.
dominance in Recurve Archery
Moderator: On Sunday, the recurve team—Alexis Frin, Félicien Crevoisier, Lucas Kayser, and Evan Germain—delivered a flawless performance, winning all their matches 6-0. What’s your take on their dominance?
Cédric Nectoux: Their performance was nothing short of exceptional. Winning three consecutive matches with a perfect score is a testament to their skill and preparation. Alexis and Félicien have been consistent performers, but Lucas and Evan really stepped up this time. It’s a reminder that archery is as much about precision as it is about mental fortitude.
Moderator: Do you think their success sets a new standard for recurve archery in the region?
Cédric Nectoux: Absolutely. Their performance will undoubtedly inspire other archers to push their limits. It also raises the bar for future competitions, which is grate for the sport.
The Future of Archery in Finistère
Moderator: Looking ahead, what do you think needs to be done to ensure the continued growth of archery in Finistère?
Cédric Nectoux: We need more investment in facilities and coaching. Archery is a sport that requires specialized equipment and training, and not everyone has access to these resources. Additionally, I’d love to see more events like the Finistère championships that bring together archers of all ages and skill levels.
Moderator: What advice would you give to aspiring archers who want to follow in your footsteps?
Cédric Nectoux: Stay disciplined and patient. Archery is a sport where progress can be slow, but every small improvement adds up. Also, don’t be afraid to compete—it’s the best way to learn and grow.
