Winnette Lawrence and Robert Singh represented Guyana at yet another virtual international archery competition held on 31 May 2020.
The two Guyanese competed in the 60X ISOL Remote Shoot Competition but didn’t make it onto the podium.
Both Guyanese competed in the 30m compound and the 30m recurve bows categories respectively. Both categories comprised of two sessions with 36 arrows each.
Lawrence who a few weeks ago became the first Guyanese to flex her bow at an international archery competition scored 563/720 and came in behind the pack of 12 archers during her second international outing. According to the Archery Guyana, she experienced a number of difficulties which hampered her run.
Singh on the other hand fared much better and shot his way to seventh, coming in ahead of two other competitors. He scored 556/720 on his national debut.
This was the ninth stage of this novel Virtual Competition where approximately 100 archers from 16 countries came up against each other. The aim of this competition is to keep archers focused on maintaining fitness and competitiveness during the world-wide quarantine as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The next stage of the virtual competition will be contested on 7 June 2020 and Archery Guyana is working towards having its members continue to participate.
