Charlotte Burgess  Charlotte Burgess (born 25 January 1987 in Salford) is a British archer who represented Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Burgess took up archery in 1998 and made her international debut in 2001. As a teenager Burgess was widely regarded as an upcoming star of British archery, narrowly missing out on qualifying for a spot at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, aged just 17. In 2007 Burgess won a bronze medal for Great Britain with Alison Williamson and Naomi Folkard in the women's team event at the 2007 World Archery Championships, defeating the Italian team in the bronze medal match following a defeat to South Korea in the semi-final. Later that year Burgess, Williamson and Folkard were medallists at the fourth stage of the 2007 Archery World Cup held in Dover, winning the women's team recurve tournament. This was however not enough for Great Britain to advance to the final. Burgess, Folkard and Williamson improved on their medal tally in the 2008 Archery World Cup, winning a gold medal in the team competition in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in April, and a bronze medal in the same event in Boé, France, two months later. Burgess qualified to represent Great Britain at the 2008 Olympics, competing in the team and individual events. Once again partnered by Alison Williamson and Naomi Folkard, she helped Great Britain achieve a surprise second place in the team ranking round. In the quarter-finals the trio overcame the Japanese team by five points to meet hosts China in the semi-finals. Burgess and her teammates were unable to defeat the Chinese team, missing the opportunity to compete for the gold medal. They instead faced France in the bronze medal match, but lost to their French opponents, having to settle for fourth place overall. In the individual event Burgess placed 40th out of 64 archers in the ranking round. She defeated China's Guo Dan in the first round before falling to teammate Folkard in the second round. Burgess narrowly missed out on qualifying for the 2012 Summer Olympics held in London; she did however claim a gold medal alongside Michael Peart at the European Grand Prix in Cyprus in the mixed team recurve competition. In 2015 it was announced that Burgess had joined Team GB's paralympic team as performance coach for the recurve archery athletes. In 2017, Burgess also became the Lead Coach in the training and development of archers for the UK Invictus Games Team. Later the same year, she attended the 2017 Invictus Games within the role of Head Coach for Archery.
