UVic pair take a bow
Sergey Bolutenko and Helen Mower show some of the form
that won them each a gold medal at the provincial
championships a couple of months ago. Bolutenko, an archery
instructor in physical education, and Mower, a sessional in
Germanic languages, will shoot for more gold at the
nationals later this month. Bolutenko is a 27-year veteran
of the sport, including a stint with the Soviet national
team in the 1970s. Mower, under Bolutenko's tutelage, is a
one-year rookie. The Olympic recurve bows require strength
and endurance to use. Bolutenko's draw (the resistance when
the archer pulls back) is 45 lbs., Mower's is 32 lbs. But
Archery is mental as well as physical, says Mower. "You have
to focus and block everything else out. Then again, if you
concentrate too much on hitting the target, you'll miss
it!" (Valerie Shore photo).
