French Archery Team Shines in World Cup and World Championships

The French men's archery team is making waves in the sport, especially in the ongoing World Championships in South Korea. The team, composed of Jean-Charles Valladont, Thomas Chirault, and the rising star Baptiste Addis, has been turning heads with their impressive performances.

Valladont, the veteran of the team at 36 years old, has been setting the framework for the team with his methodical approach. Addis, on the other hand, is the gem of French archery, known for his potential, confidence, and passion. The young archer aims to gain as much experience and information as possible at the World Championships, preparing for a potential medal.

The team's success is not new. They have won medals in every competition since the 2024 Olympics. One of their most significant victories was at the World Cup, where they beat the South Korean team, a feat they haven't achieved in almost ten years. The team's World Cup season between April and July was their best on the men's side, resulting in one gold, two silver, and one bronze medal.

Baptiste Addis, in particular, had an impressive World Cup, returning with two medals and playing in a final. However, he expressed concern about always finishing in the quarterfinals, hoping to break this pattern and reach even higher.

The South Korean coach, Oh Seon-Tek, sees Addis's youth as a significant advantage. He believes that Addis has a lot of potential and confidence, which could help the team in the future. Oh Seon-Tek, who has a resume that includes six Olympic gold medals when he coached South Korea, also believes that the French team's Olympic medal and World Cup success may have an unconscious impact on their opponents.

The French team's success is not lost on Oh Seon-Tek. He looks ahead to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, referring to international competitions as stepping stones. He believes that the French archers excel in increasing their concentration level and managing their mental game during important matches.

Despite the team's success, there is no specific information available about Baptiste Addis's trainer during the World Championships. However, it is clear that the team's hard work and dedication are paying off.

The team's silver medal at the Paris Olympics last year was their first medal at the Games. They are now aiming for even greater heights, with Addis hoping to use the World Championships as a stepping stone towards a medal. As the team continues to excel, it's clear that French archery is a force to be reckoned with.
