A New Lenox lady competes in the Olympics after achieving national and international success in archery

 Chrissie Lyons, of New Lenox, made the decision to take up archery three years ago after taking her daughter to a session. Although Lyons, 47, has always found archery fascinating, she hadn't even thought of taking classes or participating in competitions. Olympic fans can buy Olympic Archery Tickets from our website.

 Lyons has since won medals in a number of domestic and international tournaments. At the Pan American Championships in Santiago, Chile, in November, Lyons competed in bare bow recurve archery and took home three gold medals for individual, mixed, and women's team.

 In August 2020, in the U.S. Nationals, Lyons broke the double-round archery world record. No one is more astonished than Lyons, he said. "Each time, I simply thought, there’s no way. This cannot go on like this.

Lyons was raised in the foster care system and resided in a children's home on the North Side of Chicago. Lyons claimed that as of late, she has devoted her archery career to improving foster children and dispelling the myth that foster children are difficult youngsters.

Lyons stated, "I like that I've disproven it, and there are thousands of foster kids who disprove that. I no longer only practice archery for myself.

Lyons, a mother of three kids, claimed that she brought her youngest daughter to a lesson at BowDoc Archery in Mokena in March 2019. Lyons stated that she believed an archery class would be a wonderful diversion for her youngest daughter, who had recently gotten a bow as a gift, after her middle daughter went for basic training.

Lyons claimed that she went to BowDoc Archery a few days later for an open shoot. The next morning, according to Lyons, she woke up feeling extremely motivated to practice archery. She returned to open shoot, where she ultimately decided to enroll in lessons and purchase a bow.

According to Lyons, her daughter's archery lessons first served as a diversion from the fact that she was away at U.S. Air Force basic training and they couldn't interact frequently. After moving with several families, being separated from her was quite upsetting for Lyons. "As treatment, I was using archery. Although I appreciated it, I was merely using it as a diversion.

However, according to Lyons, she was scoring at an outstanding level in just three months. Lyons claimed that her coach informed her she had to compete after six months. She first rejected the idea of competing. She claimed that after doing so, she was astonished and delighted.

When Lyons discovered she was shooting scores with the best women in the world, she remarked, "My gut literally plummeted out of me." "I wanted to push the limits of what I can do with archery."

Lyons said she injured her leg in September 2019 and needed surgery and therapy. However, according to Lyons, preparation for her first competition in November and the subsequent Midwest Open, where she won first place, helped her get through it.

Find your passion and make it a journey because you never know where it may lead you, Lyons added. "If I were to give the world one lesson, it would be to find your passion."

According to Lyons, she shot her first 55 yards, or more than half a football field, at the 2020 U.S. Nationals. Lyons and the other contestants shot 12 rounds, six arrows each, over the course of two days, with the bull's-eye scoring one through ten points.

According to Lyons, she came close to breaking the record for a single day of shooting, but when cameramen began to follow, emotion overcame her and her score fell short of the record. She eventually broke the two-day scoring record, Lyons said, scoring a total of 1,227 points out of a possible 1,440.

"Aborting is not merely a physical activity, as some may believe. It's extremely, extremely mental," Lyons remarked. "In archery, adrenaline is not your friend."

According to Lyons, competing in the World Games in July was her biggest competition to date. According to Lyons, she won the silver medal, becoming the first American woman to medal in bare bow archery. If I didn't win gold at the World Games, Lyons added, "To receive silver there is the biggest thing for me."

Lyons claimed that by transitioning from bare bow to Olympic recurve archery, she is now pushing herself even harder. The Olympic recurve bow contains a sight, stabilizer, and clicker that instructs the athlete how far to draw back, but the bare bow lacks those three components, hence the name, according to Lyons.

Making the Olympic team for recurve archery in 2028, she stated, is her ultimate ambition. Lyons added, "I'm not young, so it's a risk." It depends on how much energy I have. My main concern right now is whether or not I have the physical stamina and endurance to train. I definitely have the mental game.

Lyons has worked with Jeff Sanchez, owner and head coach of BowDoc Archery, since she first picked up a bow, according to Sanchez. As the Olympic trials get underway in 2019, Sanchez said he will work with Lyons on the Olympic recurve "to see what she can accomplish in that manner."

It has been great to work with someone who has such a strong commitment to their training as well as the passion and tenacity to achieve their objectives, according to Sanchez. A staffer for USA Archery named Sarah Boyd stated Lyons is exceptionally gifted.

Boyd stated that "USA Archery is appreciative for Chrissie's dedication to the sport's highest standards and is happy to have her represent our nation on the international stage."

According to her, Lyons instructs archery through the BowDoc Archery programmers offered by the park districts of New Lenox, Frankfort, Manhattan, and Mokena. Lyons added that teaching archery has been fulfilling and that she enjoys seeing people become as enthusiastic about the sport.

According to Lyons, competing in bare bow archery has been expensive because she is responsible for covering all travel and related costs. Lyons stated that the possibility of receiving financial help is one of the reasons she would begin practising for the Olympic recurve.

Lyons claimed that when her performance increased, she made the decision to borrow against her home in order to support her athletic career.

Lyons spent $10,000 in the last six months to compete in the Pan American Championships and the World Games, and she had competed frequently in the previous three years. Lyons created a Go Fund Me account to aid in funding the competition.

Lyons cited meeting new individuals from various cultures and getting to know them better while bonding over a shared love of archery as her favourite aspect of archery.

Lyons acknowledged that she is still getting used to being recognized in the archery community. With a chuckle, Lyons recalled how her daughter had written an essay for college about the impact of the family's niche popularity and how her family was coping to it.

Lyons promised to inspire everyone to pursue their talents and interests. Try new activities and keep doing them if you like them, Lyons advised. You simply can't predict where it will lead.
