200 days before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in France (July 26-August 11), here are the predictions from the Midi Libre sports department. A non-exhaustive list of regional athletes which takes into account past and current results but also our favorites. Both residents of the Nîmes club, Valladont and Addis want to be outsiders for the medal.
A new phase of internal selection to constitute the French archery teams for the Games is taking place this week in Bordeaux. Four residents of the Arc-club de Nîmes remain in the running.
If Pierre Plihon, injured, seems out of the Games, and if Victoria Sébastian presents herself as an outsider, the two other Gardois, Jean-Charles Valladont (34 years old, 11th in the world) and Baptiste Addis (17 years old since December 7, 20th) are currently the two best French archers.
The past and future of the discipline
And therefore the two best chances of a medal in Paris.
Between them, they embody both the past (Valladont Olympic vice-champion in Rio in 2016), the present (Addis surprise finalist of the Indoor World Cup stage in Nîmes in 2023) and the future of the discipline .
