The Canadian Men placed fourth in the Recurve Team competition at the Berlin 2019 Hyundai Archery World Cup Stage 4 this weekend. The team of Aaron Cox (Alberta), Brad Fulsang (Ontario) and Remi Gervais (Quebec) had advanced to the Bronze medal match against the USA earlier this week after having defeated India, and Solvenia. The US went home with the Bronze medal, defeating Canada 6-2.
“We are very proud of the entire recurve team,” said the team staff Linda Price and Trevor Gibson. “They have faced and overcome several challenges out of their control. This experience has further prepared them as stronger competitors for future events.”
One of the primary challenges faced had been delays in the arrival of luggage, including the equipment for two athletes. Although one of the missing cases did arrive in time, Mariessa Pinto’s did not make it to Berlin at all. Thanks to the helpful staff of Win&Win Archery, Mariessa was able to be equipped for the week. Pinto advanced to the second round of eliminations, defeating Olivia Hodgson of NZL, but fell to Gabriela Bayardo of NED. “This event was the perfect training opportunity to test my resilience in the face of uncontrollable and unforeseen circumstances,” said Mariessa. “I am pleased with the results and look forward to bringing what I have learned forward to future events.”
For the Men, the week provided a great experience. “I was very happy with the team throughout the week. We definitely performed well together,” said Brad Fulsang. “Our team dynamic on the shooting line worked really well, always lots of time to get an arrow off. It was tough shooting. We kept pushing through all the wind, but everything felt good.”

L'équipe canadienne masculine s'est classée quatrième à l'épreuve par équipe de la Coupe du monde de tir à l'arc Hyundai 2019 de Berlin, disputée en fin de semaine. L'équipe, composée d'Aaron Cox (Alberta), Brad Fulsang (Ontario) et Rémi Gervais (Québec) s'était qualifiée pour le match pour la médaille de bronze contre les États-Unis après avoir gagné contre l'Inde, et la Solvénie plus tôt cette semaine. Mais les États-Unis ont remporté la médaille de bronze en l'emportant par 6 à 2 sur le Canada.
«Nous sommes très fiers de toute notre équipe d'arc recourbé» ont déclaré Linda Price et Trevor Gibson, membres du personnel de l'équipe, qui ajoutent «Ils ont fait face à plusieurs défis hors de leur contrôle et ils ont réussi à les surmonter. Cette expérience les a préparés à devenir encore plus forts à l'avenir.»
L'un des principaux problèmes auquel ils ont été confrontés a été le retard dans l'arrivée des bagages, et notamment de l'équipement de deux athlètes. Bien qu'une des valises manquantes soit arrivée à temps, celle de Mariessa Pinto n'est jamais arrivée à Berlin. Mais, grâce à l'aide précieuse du personnel de Win&Win Archery, Mariessa a pu être équipée pour la semaine. Et Pinto s'est qualifiée pour le deuxième tour éliminatoire, en battant la Néo-Zélandaise Olivia Hodgson, mais elle s'est par la suite inclinée devant la Néerlandaise Gabriela Bayardo.
«Cette compétition a été pour moi a été l'occasion parfaite de mettre à l'épreuve ma résilience face à des circonstances incontrôlables et imprévisibles», a déclaré Mariessa, qui poursuit : «Je suis satisfaite de mon résultat et j'ai hâte d'appliquer ce que j'ai appris lors des prochaines compétitions.»
Du côté masculin, cette semaine s'est avérée une expérience très fructueuse. «J'ai été très satisfait des performances de l'équipe tout au long de la semaine. Nous avons vraiment bien performé ensemble» a dit Brad Fulsang, qui ajoute : «Notre dynamique d'équipe sur la ligne de tir a très bien fonctionné, si bien que nous avons toujours eu beaucoup de temps pour décocher les flèches. C'était dur de tirer car il a toujours fallu faire face au vent, mais tout a bien été.»

It's been a good couple of weeks for Jason Doherty considering he has broken another provincial record for Senior Men's Barebow but this time in Field when he was at Carstairs this past weekend. Jason shot a new record score of 259.
Great Job Jason!
We don't often get to congratulate anyone on achieving a new record in the discipline of Field, but this past weekend in Carstairs, Cadence Punchinger reached a new high mark in Cub Female Compound with a score of 386.
Congratulations Cadence!
