Road to Wroclaw: Archery Continental Qualifying Tournament in Tonga
His Royal Highness Prince Ata officially opened the Archery Championships and Continental Qualifying Tournament at Pangai Lahi Ground in Tonga on Monday.
Six teams from the Oceania member countries are participating in the week-long event (12-15 April): Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga. Mrs Tukia Tatafu, Secretary of Tonga Archery Foundation, said the Continental Qualifying Tournament offers the chance for the athletes to compete for a spot in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. During the event there will be more to achieve than a chance to get to Rio. The event was also indicated to qualify two athletes per gender for The World Games 2017 in Wroclaw/Poland (20 -30 July 2017). The archery compound competition will be on the programme of TWG 2017.
