GB archers on target
Penny Healey also made the final four in the Women’s Recurve Individual competition.
It was a busy weekend for Gibson, 22, from Cirencester, who also broke the European Record, topping qualifying rounds in the compound events. With a score of 712 out of a possible 720, she broke the previous European record of 711 for the 72-arrow 50-metre rounds - a record she herself had set at the Arizona Cup just two months ago.
“Winning gold wasn't even on the list for this year, so to win it twice feels incredible. I am really really happy to take another win in Paris and I can't wait to do some more competitions this year and go towards the World Games. Competing together for the first time as a Compound Women’s Team, Gibson was joined by 19-year-old Layla Annison from Norfolk and Elizabeth Foster, 30, from South Tyneside’s Cleadon Archers. The team demonstrated the exceptional young talent that resides in the Archery GB team, securing yet another archery medal for GB in 2022.Annison said: “It felt absolutely amazing to shoot on the finals field. It was such a wonderful and pretty location.
“I really enjoyed shooting with Layla and Ella and I think we have a good dynamic. We are three very different individuals with very different styles of shooting but we work great with each other.” “Luckily Ella backed me up by shooting 10s. Ninth place individually and third mixed team. At the age of 19, I can’t really argue with that. Amazing week, amazing people, amazing finals field.”
