Amanda Mlinarić from Croatia secured a silver medal in the compound bow category at the prestigious Nîmes Archery Tournament 2026 (IWS Stage 5). The final, held from 16 to 18 January, saw Mlinarić reach the gold medal match after posting a qualification score of 589 and winning four successive elimination matches. She narrowly finished behind Colombia’s Alejandra Usquiano (146:144), underscoring her status among the world’s leading compound archers. This result follows preparatory efforts within the Croatian archery community ahead of the upcoming European Archery Championships in Antalya, Turkey, fast approaching in May 2026. The consistent performance highlights Brod’s regional connection to Croatian archery development and representation on the international stage.
