DThe German archer next to Lisa Unruh won the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics. Unruh (Berlin), Michelle Kroppen (Jena) and Charline Schwarz (Feucht) won the third place against Belarus in the team match on Sunday with a 5:1 (55:48, 53:51, 55:55) victory. Japan won the second German medal. “It’s overwhelming. I’m really happy,” Unruh said. “It’s great, it’s really exciting. We shot very well. That’s great!”
Previously, Unruh and Co. defeated the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) 5-1 in the semifinals of the Dream Island Park Archery Arena and missed the gold medal final. On the way to the medal match, they beat Taiwan and Mexico 6-2. With the same lineup, the German team has already won the silver medal at the Antalya European Championship in early June. National team coach Oliver Haydn said: “We have been able to build on our hard work throughout the year and I am very proud of this team. This is very good. We are very happy to be able to give back to our family and fans. Everyone They are all doing well.”
In the game against Belarus, the German team controlled two games before the Eastern European team appeared. Then Anru needed a 10 point in the final shot of the third set, and Germany’s best athlete sent a parade-style shot.
For Anlu, this is the second Olympic precious metal. In 2016, she won the silver medal with a sensational victory in the Rio singles. Croppen, who finished fourth in the World Cup, and Schwarz, who were only 20 years old, celebrated their greatest career success in Tokyo and won their first medal in the adult category.
Since its debut in the 1988 Olympics, Schützenbund (DSB), Germany, has won two medals. Barbara Mensing, Cornelia Pfohl and Sandra Wagner-Sachse won the silver medal in Atlanta in 1996. Four years later, the trio won the bronze medal in Sydney.
