Mexican archer Mariana Avitia also came here with valuable Olympic Games experience. Aged 14, she was one of the youngest athletes in Beijing, and exceeded all expectations by reaching the quarterfinals before being defeated by Kwon Un-Sil from archery powerhouse South Korea.

Newly-crowned European junior champion Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia will be among the title favorites when the 13-day Games kicks off.

The European junior title was not the first title of 2010 for the 18-year-old. Dzumhur did not drop a set at the 35th City of Florence International Tournament in Italy, and also won the 18th International Junior Tournament of Offenbach/Main in Germany.
