Archery is a sport where participants have to shoot an arrow at a target that is 70 m away. The target face has ten bright and colorful rings. Each of it consists of different points. The rules for each archer are to shoots six ends of three arrows at a time, with a maximum of 40 seconds allowed per arrow. The winners go through to the next rounds (1/16, 1/18) until there are only eight archers left. The following round would be the quarter final, and in it four ends of three arrows are shot at a time, again with a maximum of 40 seconds allowed per arrow. The four winners will then compete in the semi finals and the finals for the bronze, silver and gold medals. Archery became part of the Olympic event in 1900. Back
