Arco, European Para-Archery Championships in Rome: Italy triumphs with 11 medals

At the Nando Martellini stadium of the Baths of Caracalla, Italy dominates the European Para-Archery Championships, finishing at the top of the medal table with a record haul of 11 medals: 6 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze. A choral performance that shows the constant growth of one of the most inclusive sports that exist and which this time saw the Azzurri impose themselves on powers such as Türkiye and Great Britain.

In the team and mixed team trials, three very heavy gold medals arrived, all won in the play-off. Davide Bettoni and Stefano Travisani raised the flag in the men’s recurve, defeating Slovakia in the shoot-off. Same script for the golden duo Stefano Travisani-Elisabetta Mijno in the mixed recurve team and for the Pellizzari-Tonon couple in W1, glacial in overcoming the Czech Republic with two arrows on 10.
