French archer Lisa Barbelin lost Sunday in the final of the 2024 Olympics test event, signing with this second place her best result in a World Cup stage. Crowned vice-world champion by teams at the beginning of the month in Berlin, the 23-year-old Frenchwoman ended up folding on Sunday (6-4) against the American Casey Kaufhold, world number 7.
Her second place on the same Esplanade des Invalides, which is to host the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in less than a year, bodes well for the 2021 European champion, then indoors in 2022. There will be more stands, the more flashy decor but the Mosellane will always shoot its arrows in the direction of the neighboring Alexandre III bridge.
