We are still a long way from the arena that will be installed in front of 8 thousand spectators on the Esplanade des Invalides, but gradually the archers of the French team are coming to the “condition of Paris 2024”. This Wednesday, March 27, in the heart of the Sébastien Flute Archery Center Insep, Lise Barbelin, Thomas Schiro and others Jean-Charles Valladon had the opportunity to test themselves in an environment very close to the one in which they could find themselves again this summer . once they pass the qualification stage.
To set up: a platform equivalent to the one they will be performing on. To indicate their participation in the competition: the voice of Mark Schave, the announcer for their discipline at the Olympic Games. They are welcomed: about a hundred people are present in the stands specially equipped for this occasion, with whistles in their mouths and “claps-claps” in their hands. 70 meters away is the Olympic distance: shooting targets. And the program includes a series of direct matches, from mixed doubles to team competition, ending with singles matches.
