Leo first tried archery four years ago and he showed talent right away (“It felt natural to shoot arrows”) and then he started in a club in Stockholm. From day one Leo shoots Barebow.
Before Leo started archery he played football (soccer) and table tennis, but neither of the two sports was his thing.
For a year now, Leo has been studying economics at the Swedish Archery High School, where he gets the opportunity to practice archery even during school hours.
Leo loves to compete and has won more than 60 tournaments around Sweden in these few years, including gold at the Junior Swedish Championship. He has also competed with success in Norway and Denmark with medals at NUM (Nordic Youth Championship).
He longs to go to The Lanchaster Classic and maybe even study at a university in the USA later. He
dreams of getting a scholarship. Another dream competition abroad is the Roma Archery Trophy.
Another big goal is to represent Sweden in the World Archery Field Championship in Yankton 2022.
