Last week the Olympic selection shoot was held at St. George's Park.
The Olympic selection shoot took place last week and was held at St George's Park, Burton upon Trent, home of England Football.  This was following a successful training camp at the venue last month.
Selection took place over the week with 9 sessions providing 7x WA720 rounds and 2 rounds of round-robin matches.
The selection shoot was originally planned to take place in Turkey. However, due to the international travel restrictions brought about by COVID, this was the contingency plan. All athletes and staff stayed on-site at St. George's Park to ensure the bubble could be kept in place.
Whilst it wasn't abroad, David Tillotson explained that "St. George's Park is a first-class venue for elite sport. Not only football but archery too. We are very happy with all facilities and arrangements. The venue is worthy of our best shooting skills and the importance of the Olympic selection shoot."
Selection took place over a week. Throughout the week, all archers participated in round-robin matches and WA720s. Every arrow counted towards the daily arrow average. There were points and bonus points awarded depending on the final score, arrow average and match wins.
