The women's archery team of Kazakhstan has achieved a significant milestone by winning a bronze medal at the Shanghai World Cup stage, marking their first medal in such prestigious competitions. The team, comprising of Adel Zheksenbinova, Viktoria Lyan, and Aizhan Seydakhmetova, demonstrated impressive skill and teamwork during the event. In the intense battle for the bronze, the Kazakh trio surpassed the archers from Estonia with a score of 231:224.
Notably, Kazakhstan's victory over the formidable South Korean team, who were defeated in the quarterfinals with a score of 234:230, showcases the team's determination and talent. Despite narrowly missing the opportunity to advance to the final by just one point against the Italians, who won with a score of 227:227 (28:29), the Kazakh archers have etched their names in history by securing the first medal for the women's team at the World Cup stage.
Kazakhstan's archery school has gained recognition as one of the leading institutions in Asia, producing talented athletes like 17-year-old archer Andrey Tyutyun, who clinched the championship at Asia-2023 in Bangkok, Thailand. Furthermore, the men's team, represented by Ilfat Abdullin, Daulatkeldy Zhanbyrbay, and Alexander Ereemenko, successfully secured an Olympic license for Paris during the same competition.
