The Nesp starts well at preseason warm up, but hopes for better finish

Mauro Nespoli (687) and Katharina Bauer (674) topped qualifying today at the traditional preseason warm-up tournament for European recurve archers in Antalya, Türkiye.
The Spring Arrows always attracts the big teams.
But with less than four months until the Olympics - and this same field set to host the final qualifier for Paris 2024 in early June - every arrow matters, perhaps more than usual.
“It’s the first competition of the year. It’s important to start well if you want to finish better,” said Nespoli, who was runner-up in the recurve men’s competition at the last Olympic Games, held in Tokyo in 2021.
