Who? The 2025 young archer of the year.
Why? When talking about the hottest prospects in the sport, Addis is right up there. Archers dream of climbing onto an Olympic podium their whole careers with most not achieving that goal but the 19 year old recurve men archer has already done that as a teenager, winning silver as part of France’s recurve men’s team in Paris 2024.
On top of that he won his maiden World Cup individual medals last year, bagging bronze in Antalya, silver in Madrid and also reached the stage finals in Shanghai – albeit coming away empty handed in China – making him one of the most consistent archer across the 2025 season.
It was close but no cigar for Addis in reaching an individual top podium though and much like Scott, he seems to be maturing rapidly after every competition, with everything pointing towards an incoming big individual outdoors honour very soon. Will it be in Puebla?
Baptiste Addis was also a part of France’s gold medal winning recurve men team at the Essen 2024 European Archery Championships.
