Newly-crowned European Games Champion Florian Unruh is set to lead the home team at the upcoming Hyundai World Archery Championships in Berlin, following squad announcements from the German archery federation.
He’s joined by Moritz Wieser and Maximilian Weckmüller in the recurve men’s line-up. The reigning European Champion recurve women’s team – comprised of Katharina Bauer, Michelle Kroppen and Charline Schwarz – will look to upgrade their continental title to the world podium, and secure an early Olympic quota place in the process.
“I’m super relieved,” admitted current world-number-four Bauer.
“After the first day [of trials], I was confused. I had a very difficult start but I decided to fight to the last arrow. It was super close so I’m all the happier that it worked out.”
The trials for the recurve squad were held over three days in late May.
Compound selections followed in mid-June, with Katharina Raab, Julia Böhnke, Jennifer Walter, Leon Hollas, Florian Grafmans and Sebastian Hamdorf securing nominations to the championship team.
