UK Archer Becky Martin places 3rd in National Championships

The Sandon Business & Entrerprise College pupil, who only turned 14 last month, beat Olympic bronze medallist Alison Williamson en route to finishing third.

She was eventually defeated by another Olympian, Charlotte Burgess, but then overcame British international Amy Oliver in a third/fourth place play-off.

Becky, from Meir, who finished in the top 10 in last year’s championships, impressed onlookers with her maturity against more senior and experienced opposition.

We will definitely need to keep our eye out for this promising young archer in future Olympics.

2009 World Cup – Recurve Men Ind Gold – KOR vs KOR

At the beginning of the video, you get a glimpse of the announcer. I’ve always wondered what he looked like. I always pictured Mike Rowe from the Discovery Channel in the USA. I guess it wasn’t far off from my impression, eh?

Two great archers in this competition.
