Robin Selley and Elektra Smith's pursuit of qualification for the Junior Pan American Games Archery Competition continued in Argentina, with a challenging team event against Chile on day two. The Bermudian pair, accompanied by Head Coach Ross Roberts, faced a formidable test against their Chilean opponents.
Following their individual performances on day one, Selley and Smith teamed up to represent Bermuda in the team event. They faced the Chilean duo of Sayen Torres and Rafaela Ampuero, a pairing that presented a significant hurdle in their qualification journey.
Despite their determined efforts and unwavering spirit, Selley and Smith were unable to overcome the strong Chilean team. The match resulted in a 6-0 victory for Chile, ending the Bermudian pair's hopes of progressing in the team event.
The experience, however, remains invaluable for both Selley and Smith. Competing against international opposition provides crucial exposure and allows them to gauge their progress against a high standard of competition. The lessons learned from this challenging match will undoubtedly contribute to their development as archers.
Head Coach Ross Roberts will continue to provide guidance and support to Selley and Smith as they navigate the remaining stages of the qualifier. The focus will shift to analysing their performance, identifying areas for improvement, and maintaining a positive attitude as they prepare for their remaining individual events.
The Junior Pan American Games Archery Competition qualifier presents a significant challenge, but Selley and Smith are determined to represent Bermuda with pride and gain valuable experience in their pursuit of archery excellence.
