Archery World Cup Puebla: Taiwanese Archers Strive for Excellence and Asian Games Qualification
The Chinese Taipei Archery Association has selected 16 archers to compete in the Archery World Cup in Puebla, Mexico, and Shanghai, China, to qualify for the Nagoya Asian Games. These athletes, including top recurve and compound archers, aim to secure a spot among the top three in each category. The team is looking to rebound after a disappointing performance at the previous Asian Games, with compound archer Huang Yi-jou motivated by the inclusion of mixed team compound in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

The Chinese Taipei Archery Association held three selection trials for the Nagoya Asian Games from late last year to January this year, selecting the top four male and female archers in both recurve and compound categories.
These 16 athletes will participate in the first two stages of this year's Archery World Cup, including this week's event in Puebla, Mexico, and the May 5th event in Shanghai, China. After these two competitions, points will be calculated based on individual performance, and the top three in each category will be selected to represent Taiwan at the Asian Games.
Tang Chih-chun, ranked first in the selection trials and known as 'Soup Dumpling,' expressed his long-awaited anticipation for international competition. 'My biggest goal this year is definitely the Asian Games, and I will adjust well this year to achieve results I can be satisfied with.'
The Taiwanese recurve archery team won a men's team gold medal and a women's team silver medal at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games. However, at the previous Hangzhou Asian Games, the recurve team, both individual and team, was almost completely wiped out, with no one advancing to the medal rounds.
As for the compound archery event, 'Ace' Huang Yi-jou will also join the corporate archery league this year, starting her new season with this week's World Cup. She mentioned, 'With the inclusion of compound mixed doubles in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, I am indeed more motivated and have a clearer goal. Of course, the current priority is to secure qualification for the Asian Games.'
The Taiwanese archery team roster includes recurve men: Tang Chih-chun, Wei Chun-heng, Cheng Hsiang-hui, Lin Tzu-hsiang; recurve women: Hsu Hsin-tzu, Chiu Yi-ching, Feng Yu-chu, Lee Tsai-chi; compound men: Chen Chieh-lun, Chang Cheng-wei, Yen Tzu-hsiang, Wu Tzu-wei; compound women: Huang Yi-jou, Chen Fang-yi, Chen Yi-hsuan, Chiu Yu-er.
