  • Steve Wijler and Gaby Schloesser collected silver in the first-ever mixed team event held at the Olympics in Tokyo 2020.
    The 26-year-old now hopes for another chance to fight for medals at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. But for that, Netherlands still needs to book quota places, a feat not done yet.
    “It would be a big thing,” Wijler said. “For us, recurve athletes, the Olympics are the best you can get, it’s the highest level you can go to.”
    “I was in Tokyo, and I got a medal there. I really would like to repeat it.”
    The Dutch pair put in a stunning performance at just the right moment three years ago.
    They only lost only to the Korean duo of Kim Je Deok and An San, which did not come as a surprise-winner giving the nation’s dominance over the years.
    Wijler had already competed eleven times in international mixed team events, but had never finished higher than ninth.
