Maja Jager er den første danske atlet der er blevet officielt udtaget til OL.

Udtagelse fra Maja Jager:

”Det var en kæmpe skuffelse for mig, at jeg ikke kom med til OL i Rio. Men bueskydning er en brutal sport, hvor små omstændigheder kan gøre en kæmpe forskel,” siger Maja Jager og fortsætter:

”Jeg glæder mig rigtig meget til at komme til OL i Tokyo. Jeg husker tydeligt den fantastiske stemning, der var på tribunerne i London, og det kommer til at gentage sig i Tokyo, for her er bueskydning en rigtig stor sportsgren”.

 

Der er 290 dage til den olympiske ild tændes på det nye olympiske stadion i Tokyo, og udtagelsen af Maja Jager er ifølge DIF’s OL chef de mission, Søren Simonsen, noget helt særligt.
 

”Udtagelsen af den første atlet er en milepæl, som gør det tydeligt for alle, at OL i Tokyo nærmer sig. Jeg er glad for at kunne byde Maja velkommen på et forhåbentligt stærkt dansk hold. Jeg havde selv fornøjelsen af at overvære hende vinde medalje i holdkonkurrencen ved European Games i juni, og jeg ser frem til at følge hendes præstationer i Tokyo,” siger Søren Simonsen.

 

Maja Jager sikrede i juni ved VM i Holland dansk bueskydning en nationsplads til Tokyo-legene. Bueskydning Danmark har indstillet Maja Jager til at få pladsen, og nu er hun altså officielt blevet udtaget af DIF’s bestyrelse, som er olympisk komité i Danmark og dermed udtager de danske atleter.

Comment from Maja Jager:

“It was a huge disappointment for me that I did not participate in Rio. But archery is a brutal sport where small circumstances can make a huge difference, ”says Maja Jager and continues:

 

“I'm really looking forward to the Tokyo Olympics. I clearly remember the great atmosphere there was in the stands in London and it is going to repeat itself in Tokyo because archery is a really big sport there”.

 

There are 290 days until the Olympic flame is lit at the new Olympic Stadium in Tokyo and the selection of Maja Jager is, according to DIF's Olympic Chief de mission, Søren Simonsen, something very special.

“The selection of the first athlete is a milestone which makes it clear to everyone that the Tokyo Olympics are approaching. I am pleased to welcome Maja to a hopefully strong Danish team. I had the pleasure of watching her win a medal in the team event at the European Games in June and I look forward to following her performance in Tokyo, ”says Søren Simonsen.

 

In June, Maja Jager secured Danish archery a quota place at the World Championships in the Netherlands for Tokyo. Archery Denmark has appointed Maja Jager to fill the quota place and now she has officially been selected by DIF's board which is the Olympic Committee in Denmark.
