Marcos Vinicius d’Almeida provided further proof that he is one of the great names in Brazil in archery after winning last Saturday (28) in Salvador (Bahia) the men’s recurve title at the Brazilian Championship of this sport. This was the ninth opportunity in which the leader of the world rankings received the competition cup.
“This arena [montada próxima do Elevador Lacerda e ao lado do Mercado Modelo] It was special. Who can say that archery will one day reach a final here? It was great. We are breaking this taboo, that there must be silence, that there can be no fans. We had it all here: fans, passing dogs. These are normal things that would happen because we are in a place like this. We have to invest in this. We need to be closer to the audience. I thank everyone who came here and followed us,” said Marcos d’Almeida, who beat Mateus Gomez in the final.
The Brazilian Championship was the second competition in which Marcos participated after the last edition of the Olympic Games held in Paris. The Brazilian now travels to Tlaxcala (Mexico), where he will compete on October 19-20 in the Grand Final of the Shooting World Cup. The competition brings together the top eight in the world rankings.
