Archery
History of Archery
Archery developed as a sport in medieval England, when tournaments were held to encourage the military art of the archer in peacetime.
Today's bows are made from special aluminium alloy and laminated carbon materials. They are designed to shoot aluminium and carbon graphite arrows at speeds of more than 150 miles per hour.
Archery at the Games
Archery made its debut in the 1900s as one of the only sports open to women. It was dropped from the Olympic programme in 1920, but returned at the Munich 1972 Games.
The Team competition was introduced at the Seoul 1988 Games.
