South Africa earns Nine medals at the World Bowhunter Championships (WBHC) in Hungary (4 Gold, 3 Silver and 2 Bronze).
Over 1,600 archers from all over the world converged on Godollo in Hungary between Saturday 22nd August and today to compete in the IFAA World Bowhunter Championships. Our South African team was well prepared having spent many years in training. After many days of gruelling and world standard archery, the hard work put in by our athletes showed in the results. The unofficial results to date have South Africa raking up a number of medals. Gold: (AMFU) Werdie van Staden, (AMBU) Johan Human. Silver: (AFBU) Marietjie Harmse, (VMFU) Stefan van der Linde; and Johan du Preez (VMFU) earning the bronze medal. The official and final results of all classes will be published on the WBHC 2015 website later today. Photographs and commentary of the event can be found on our Facebook page. Sanaa congratulates our team manager Marietjie and our athletes on their achievement.
