Bulgaria’s Neda Kenderova has advanced to the round of 16 in the archery tournament at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games.
The Bulgarian, who set a personal best in Friday’s qualifying round, comfortably defeated Tunisia’s Ritej Chaieb 6-0 on Saturday. Kenderova put in an excellent performance across all three sets, watched by IOC Honorary President Thomas Bach.
On November 9, Kenderova will face India’s Gatha Anandrao Khadake for a place in the quarter-finals.
An amusing incident occurred shortly before the Bulgarian took to the shooting line. It turned out that she and her coach, Ventsislav Velikov, were not wearing matching outfits, as required by the rules. At the last minute, Bulgarian Olympic Committee official photographer Kostadin Andonov came to the rescue, lending the coach his green shorts from Bulgaria’s official team kit.
“I did quite well today. I won 6-0. I’m glad I’m through to the next round on November 9, and I’ll give it my all. I’m highly motivated and happy to be progressing. I hope to make the top eight, then the top four and, ultimately, the final,” Kenderova said.
“I feel really good. I quickly got used to the temperature and all else. Training is going well. We are going strong,” she added.
