Archery had its debut at the 1900 Paris (France)Summer Olympic Games and has been contested in 16 Olympiads.
Eighty-four nations have competed in the Olympic archery events, with France appearing the most often at 31 times
The most noticeable trend has been the excellence of South Korean archers, who have won 23 out of 34 gold medals in events since 1984.
Olympic archery consists of four medal events: men's individual, women's individual, men's team, and women's team.
In all four events, the distance from the archer to the target is 70 meters.
Individual Event Format
The matches now consisted of sets. Each set comprised both archers shooting three arrows. The archer with the best score in the set received two points; if the set was drawn, each archer received one point. The match would continue until one archer reached six points. If the match was tied after five sets, a single arrow shoot-off was held with the closest arrow to center winning
Team Event Format
The team's three individual archers' scores are summed to get a team ranking round score.
The competition thereafter is a single-elimination bracket, with the top 4 teams receiving a bye into the quarterfinals.
The semifinal losers face each other in the bronze medal match. In a team match, each archer shoots 8 arrows, with the best overall team score (for the total of 24 arrows) winning the match.
