Prof Dr Ugur ERDENER was brilliantly re-elected as FITA President during the second day of the 48th FITA Congress in Ulsan, Korea. A very appreciative Prof Dr ERDENER proposed to re-appoint Mr Tom DIELEN as Secretary General, who was warmly applauded by the congress delegates.

 

IOC Member Prof Dr ERDENER (TUR) and Tom DIELEN (BEL) will carry their second 4-year mandate with one goal in mind: continue the successful World Archery Plan.

 

Philippe BOUCLET (FRA) and Sanguan KOSAVINTA (THA) were also re-elected as FITA Vice-Presidents. Vladimir ESHEEV (RUS), Mario SCARZELLA (ITA) and Trudy MEDVED (AUT) will continue their mission in the Council and Kotaro HATA (JPN) will join them.

 

President ERDENER said: “We have made some great progress in the last few years and we created a great team atmosphere at FITA. The long-term success of the World Archery Plan depends on every one of us. I really mean every one of us, from the congress delegates to the people working for the Member Associations and even at club level. Every one is a part of the World Archery Plan. I hope now everybody sees it in him or herself, and I would like to thank everyone for their involvement so far.”
