Team GB selects six archers for Paris Olympics

Bryony Pitman, alongside Tom Hall, will be competing at her second Games

Six archers have been selected by the British Olympic Association to represent Team GB in Paris this summer.

The women's squad will see Bryony Pitman feature in her second Games after her Tokyo 2020 appearance, along with teenage Games debutants Penny Healey and Megan Havers.

Tom Hall, who also competed at Tokyo 2020, is in the men's squad, which also features two Games debutants in Conor Hall and Alex Wise.

"We cannot wait to see what these brilliant athletes will achieve in Paris," said Team GB chef de mission Mark England.

"Tom and Bryony will be attending their second Olympic Games, and I have no doubt their experience will be crucial in helping Alex, Conor, Megan and Penny who will all be making their Olympic debuts," added performance director Tom Duggan.

Pitman, 27, is a European Championships silver medallist and topped the world rankings last year.

Healey, 19, has similarly topped the world rankings, while Havers, 16, was part of the British women's team that won a team quota spot with a bronze at the Final Olympic Quota Tournament in Turkey last month.

Tom Hall, 33, was a European Grand Prix silver medallist and European Field Championship bronze medallist last year, while namesake Conor, 28, is a European Field Champion.

All three men won bronze at the Final Olympic Quota Tournament in the team competition.

There are five archery events at the Paris Games - the men's singles and team event, the women's singles and team event and mixed team event. The events take place from 25 July to 4 August.
