After its last edition in 2019, the National Youth Tournament is making a comeback this year with a first stage which will take place from April 8 to 10 in Offranville. 128 young archers from 65 different clubs are expected in the competition, organized by the Archers du Colombier club.
This year, the National Youth Tournament opens the outdoor archery competition season for young people. This first stage of the competition aims to prepare archers as well as possible for national and international events. With an arena finals format, the TNJs allow shooters to gain experience on finals grounds in order to familiarize them with the major events.
The headliners
The tournament promises a high level with the presence of several archers who have already won medals in international competitions. Among the headliners, we find in particular Iban Bariteaud (Nîmes), Youth World Champion in recurve in Wroclaw (POL).
In recurve women, Victoria Sebastian (Montpellier), and Amélie Cordeau (Annemasse), team gold medalists in Wroclaw (POL) will also be closely watched. As for compound bows, Candice Cadronet (Chauny) will be keen to confirm her good performance over the season.
