Dave Phillips announced in ParalympicsGB archery squad for Tokyo 2020

Tokyo 2021

Dave Phillips has been selected as part of the archery team previously announced to compete for ParalympicsGB at the rescheduled Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

Phillips earned his spot in 2019 at the World Para-archery Championships but his name could not be announced until he went through classification in Lausanne last month.

Commenting on the announcement, Phillips said: “Not being able to tell people has been a little overwhelming as it’s been nearly two years since I qualified.

“But I’m a glass half full person and because of Covid I’ve had 365 days more to prepare, making me even more determined to perform strongly.”

Also in the team are Paralympic gold medallists Jess Stretton and John Stubbs, Nathan Macqueen and Hazel Chaisty, who makes her Paralympic debut in Tokyo.
