This weekend a Nimes the new international competitive season for archery will officially begin, with the first act of Indoor World Series 2022. Gives Friday 21 a Sunday 23 January the French location will be the scene of the first major indoor confrontation of the year between some of the best performers of the discipline, awaiting the European Indoor Championships in mid-February which will be giving away continental medals.
In a 2022 that has no Olympic qualification events for the 2024 Paris Games, Italy can therefore also focus on the indoor season (on short distances) to then turn the page in the spring and face the first important races towards the next five-circle review. As a result, three elements of the Italian National Olympic Arch Team are enrolled in the French event: Lucilla Boari, Tatiana Andreoli and Federico Musolesi.
In women we will therefore be able to count on two girls included in the top 35 of the world ranking, with Boari returning from individual Olympic bronze and Andreoli on the hunt for redemption after a complicated 2021. The tricolor representative of the fair sex in the recurvo will be completed by the reigning Italian indoor vice-champion Claudia Mandia, by the reigning Paralympic vice-champion Vincenza Petrilli and by Pia Lionetti.
