Damsbo’s longevity and achievements as the 2013 Hyundai Archery World Cup Final Champion, together with Fullerton’s rapid rise to world number one, naturally draw much of the attention whenever Denmark competes.
But Bramsen has established himself as an increasingly important part of the trio.
The 22-year-old is still searching for his first senior international individual medal and freely admits his outdoor season at 50 metres has been frustrating, with first-round exits at the European Outdoor Championships, Antalya and Madrid.
He knows Denmark’s success cannot always depend on Fullerton and Damsbo producing the decisive arrows.
“It was the wind and nerves,” he said after his individual elimination. “The eight just broke right. There was definitely some wind, but I was shaking a lot.”
Despite those struggles, Bramsen relishes shooting alongside two of compound archery’s most accomplished athletes.
“It’s so nice to shoot with them. Mathias is my best friend. I’ve been with him my whole life, so I’m trying to chase him and be the third man in our team.”
“We have the legend Martin, so I’m always chasing them and just trying to be like them.”
Competition in Madrid continues with the compound individual finals on Saturday afternoon.
