Indoor World Archery Challenge 2010
The European Indoor Archery Tournament in Nîmes (France) and the NFAA World Archery Festival in Las Vegas (USA) are two big private tournaments with a high level of competing archers. 9252km is the shortest distance between the two cities Nîmes and Vegas. Travelling with the speed of sound still takes 7 1/2 hours going from one city to another and by that, you will fly over one quarter of the circumference of the earth. So what? Nîmes and Vegas just got together this year and became one tournament, the Indoor World Archery Challenge.
Dietmar Trillus (CAN) won the prestigious compound division in Las Vegas and cashed in 25,000$ (which is more than for winning the worldcup final). Though, the winner of the Archery Challenge 2010 was Braden Gellenthien (USA) who ranked 2nd and 4th in Nimes and Vegas. The other winners of the World Archer Challenge were Gladys Willems (Belgium, Women Compound), Brady Ellison (USA – Men Recurve) and Brandi Mantha (USA – Women Recurve).
