Colombian compound woman Sara Lopez has been chosen as archery’s nomination for the World Games athlete award for the second consecutive year in 2019.

The world number two won a record fifth Hyundai Archery World Cup Champion title in Moscow in September and took gold the Pan American Games, the first in history to include a compound competition, earlier in the summer.
