Archery
What is Archery?
Archery is the sport of precision, focus, and control, where athletes use a bow to shoot arrows at a target from a set distance. It is a discipline that combines mental concentration with physical strength, requiring steady aim, refined technique, and the ability to perform under pressure.
History in the Olympics
Archery was first introduced to the Olympic Games in 1900, but after several appearances and removals, it became a permanent Olympic sport in 1972 (Munich Games). Since then, men’s and women’s events have been contested equally, including both individual and team competitions.
