Archery GB has announced it is taking part in the ‘Discover Your Gold’ initiative, which has been launched by UK Sport and the English Institute of Sport. It’s a multi-sport talent identification programme designed to identity sporting potential in 15-24 year olds and fast-track them to international competition. Archery GB is taking part in the ‘Discover Your Para Potential’ strand of the initiative, and has already been successful with similar talent identification schemes in the past, reporting that almost 80 per cent of the archers that have made the team for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games have come through a talent
identification programme.
