19.08.2015Magali Comte and Martin Imboden have different goals heading to Donaueschingen, Germany
Para-archers Magali Comte and Martin Imboden will represent Switzerland at the 2015 World Archery Para Championships in Donaueschingen, Germany, from 23-30 August.
Comte, the 2006 European champion and bronze medallist at the 2011 World Championships, is looking to follow up on those successful years before the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
Imboden, who had broken a world record last year, wants to reach the round of 16 at least. But he might secretly be eying a podium finish in the compound open category.
The World Archery Para Championships will welcome around 280 athletes from close to 50 countries. Athletes will be able to gain qualification slots for their National Paralympic Committee for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
