Happy 80th Birthday Jim Easton

World Archery wishes a happy birthday to its Honorary President Jim Easton on behalf of the entire archery family.

Jim has been a part of archery and archery a part of Jim for most of his life, so it could not be more appropriate that on Sunday 26 July 2015, the day the World Archery Championships start in Copenhagen, Denmark, he celebrates his 80th birthday.

This event, the biggest world championships ever, is the best birthday gift to the Honorary President of World Archery.

Jim has also been Vice President of the International Olympic Committee and will retire as an active member of the IOC at the Session in Kuala Lumpur from 30 July to 3 August 2015.

All athletes, coaches and officials in Copenhagen wish Jim a great birthday and the best possible health.
