It was heartbreak for members of the National Archery Association of Bermuda.
Bermuda officials had to wait until June 24th, 2024 to see if Bermuda has successfully secured a Men's Olympic Recurve position for Paris 2024.
Today on the National Archery Association of Bermuda social media page, Trina Roberts wrote, “Well done to Bermuda’s Archery Team. Our journey has been a great one and there is more to come.
While we did not secure a spot for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the preparations for the 2028 Games begin.
Well done Camerin Pickering, Jaydon Roberts, and Bernard Wade III.”
