The 2025 Archery World Cup Final concluded with international acclaim — following major events like the World Athletics Indoor Championships and the University Rowing Regatta.

Juan Carlos Holgado Romero, Executive Director and Acting Secretary General of World Archery, praised Nanjing after the competition:

“This was a world-class event. Nanjing is not only a city of sporting spirit but also one with remarkable event-hosting capabilities. I love Nanjing.”
A decade after the 2014 Youth Olympic Games, when archery first made its mark in Nanjing, Romero returned to find a city transformed — with stronger infrastructure, better facilities, and an ever-growing global sporting influence.
