Qualifications
There are two primary routes to qualify for archery at the Paris 2024 Olympics:
1. Earning a quota place for your National Olympic Committee (NOC):
It’s the most frequently used method in which archers go through qualification. Here are a few suggestions on how to accomplish it:
- Top performers in major events: Get a quota by being one of the best:
- 2023 World Archery Oceania Championships (individual and teams)
- Continental Championships (Europe, Asia, Americas) for individuals and teams (the mixed team champions from each continent also get individual spots).
- Standalone continental qualification tournaments
- Final Qualification Tournament in 2024
- Host nation quota: The country being the host, France, takes three quota places for men’s, women’s, and mixed team recurve events.
- Universality invitations: A limited number of places will be allocated for archers representing NOCs from countries with low participation in archery.
2. Meeting the Minimum Qualification Standard (MQS):
Of course, achieving a qualification for your NOC is not all there is to it. You also have to attain a minimal qualification in scoring a 72-arrow round in a World Archery registered event. This score is:
- 640 points for Recurve Men
- 610 points for Recurve Women
Team USA Archers To Watch At Paris 2024 Olympic Games
Brady Ellison
Having already represented America three times at the Olympics and won medals, Brady Ellison is still looking forward to his fifth subsequent individual men’s event at the Olympic Games. The world number one in men’s archery, Brady Ellison, was in the first round of elimination matches in the Tokyo games after losing to Gazoz in the quarterfinals. Brady Ellison, who is set to represent the American team in men’s archery, had a similar fate at the World Championships in 2023, where he did not make it to the quarterfinal and looks like the chance to win a medal in Paris most likely will be a long shot.
Casey Kaufhold
In the women’s individual competition held during the 2020 Tokyo Games, Casey Kaufhold steered clear of any outstanding obstacles in her career at the age of 17. In women’s individual distance events, Kaufhold was second in the World Championships 2021 and 4th in 2023, which looks like the best prospects for the USA Olympic archers towards medal winning.
Catalina Gnoriega
Reverting to her time spent on the US national team, the only Thorn at her trial experience was actually at the last stage when she made the US Olympic archery team. A Youth Olympian of the year 2018, she is gearing up for her debut Olympic experience at the Paris Games in 2024. She will be hoping to assist the team in bringing home good results while trying to establish her name in the individual category.
Jennifer Mucino-Fernandez
Jennifer Mucino-Fernandez has scooped the last athlete quota spot for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after finishing behind Gnoriega. A distinctive path to quota advocacy within this group was moving to Mexico, developing a passion for the sport during the 2011 American Games, and training from her mother, who did not actively compete in the sport. The 21-year-old earned her qualification in the Women’s individual event after participating in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
