The Nîmes European Open—one of the premier events on the World Indoor Archery calendar—is now history, and once again, Easton arrow shooters swept the medals in spectacular fashion.
With crucial World Archery Indoor Final ranking points and thousands of dollars in prize money on the line, the world’s top archers brought their best to the iconic arena in Nîmes, France.
“I honestly can’t remember,” said Brady Ellison when asked how many Nîmes titles he holds after securing yet another victory. The American legend claimed the men’s recurve title with a commanding win over Germany’s Florian Unruh, while French Olympian Thomas Chirault thrilled the home crowd by taking bronze.
The women’s recurve division showcased complete domination by the Easton X10, with every finalist relying on Easton’s premier outdoor shaft for ultimate precision indoors. British star Penny Healey captured gold, defeating Italian Olympic medalist Lucilla Boari in the final match, while Victoria Sebastien of France earned bronze.
It was also a clean sweep for Team Easton in the compound division. Austrian World Champion Nico Wiener clinched gold over Indian standout Rishabh Yadav, while Denmark’s Matthias Fullerton secured bronze.
In the women’s compound event, Colombian veteran Alejandra Usquiano triumphed with a gold medal victory over India’s Jyothi Surekha Vennam. Croatia’s Amanda Mlinaric claimed bronze. Impressively, every compound finalist relied on Easton’s World Archery-compliant X23 aluminum shaft—except Mlinaric, who achieved her success using Easton’s Superdrive 23 carbon shaft.
The next event on the World Indoor circuit is The Vegas Shoot this March, where more than 4,000 competitors will compete for the most prestigious titles in indoor archery.
