Slovenia’s Tim Jevsnik and Estonia’s Meeri-Marita Paas secured the top compound seeds after qualification at the 2026 Veronica’s Cup in Kamnik after strong performances.
The compound men’s qualification produced one of the closest contests of the tournament, with Jevsnik and India’s Priyansh tied on 709. With all standard tie-break criteria exhausted, Jevsnik was awarded the top seed after a coin toss.
The 22-year-old world number 10 arrived in Slovenia in strong form after winning bronze at the Puebla 2026 Hyundai Archery World Cup earlier this season. He also topped qualification at last year’s Veronica’s Cup before eventually taking bronze and will now look to go one step further on home soil.
Austria’s Nico Wiener, the Yankton 2021 Hyundai World Archery Championships gold medallist and current world number five, finished third with 708.
In the compound women’s event, Paas topped the field with 706. The defending Veronica’s Cup champion, currently ranked 10th in the world, will now look to retain her title in Kamnik, a week after claiming team gold at the European Outdoor Championships.
Croatia’s Amanda Mlinaric, the highest-ranked archer in the field at world number nine, secured second place with 702, while Italy’s Elisa Roner finished third on 694.
