Sport Overview
Athletics at Paris 2024
Venues: Stade de France (track and field), Hôtel de Ville / Invalides (marathons), Pont d’Iéna (race walks)
Competition Dates: August 1-11 (Days 6-16)
Events: 48 (23 men, 23 women, 2 mixed)
The 48 athletics events are the most of any sport on the Olympic program. All are contested separately by men and women except where noted. The events can be divided into five groups:
* Track events (100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 5000m, 10,000m, 110m hurdles – men, 100m hurdles – women, 400m hurdles, 3000m steeplechase, 4x100m relay, 4x400m relay — men, women, mixed)
* Throwing events (shot put, discus, hammer, javelin)
* Jumping events (high jump, pole vault, long jump, triple jump)
* Combined events (decathlon – men, heptathlon – women)
* Road events (marathon, 20km race walk, race walk mixed team)
On the track, all events 1500m and shorter include three rounds of competition (round one, semifinals, final). The 5000m, steeplechase, and relays are two rounds (round one, final) while the 10,000m is a one-race final.
In the throwing events, only the best attempt is counted for each athlete. After three attempts in a qualification round, the top 12 advance to the final. Following their first three attempts in the final, the top eight athletes receive three more attempts to improve their placement.
In high jump and pole vault, athletes can enter the competition at any height and pass on any height, but three consecutive failures leads to elimination until one athlete remains. In long jump and triple jump, only the best attempt is counted for each athlete. After three attempts in a qualification round, the top 12 advance to the final. Following their first three attempts in the final, the top eight receive three more attempts to improve their placement.
In the combined events, athletes are awarded points which correlate to the times/measurements achieved in each event. The decathlon is 10 events (Day 1 — 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400m; Day 2 — 110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin, 1500m) while the heptathlon is seven events (Day 1 — 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200m; Day 2 — long jump, javelin, 800m).
The road events are all mass starts. In the race walks, athletes must always have one foot in contact with the ground and completely straighten their leg on each stride. Three violations leads to disqualification.
Canada’s Olympic Athletics History (Pre-Paris 2024)
With 66 Olympic medals, Canada has won more medals in athletics than in any other sport. Canada won six athletics medals at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, the country’s best total since the nine won at Los Angeles 1932.
At Tokyo 2020, Damian Warner became Canada’s first Olympic champion in the combined events. He led the decathlon from start to finish as he set the Olympic record in the event and became just the fourth man to ever break the 9000-point mark. It followed the bronze medal he had won at Rio 2016.
Andre De Grasse is the first Canadian man to win six Olympic medals, earning three each at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. After winning silver in the 200m and bronze in the 100m and 4x100m relay in Rio, he captured 200m gold in Tokyo and was again on the podium in the 100m and 4x100m relay. Aaron Brown and Brendon Rodney were also part of both relay medals.
History was also made in Tokyo by Evan Dunfee and Mohammed Ahmed. With his bronze, Dunfee became Canada’s first Olympic medallist in the 50km race walk, while Ahmed’s 5000m silver made him Canada’s first Olympic medallist in a long distance track event.
At Rio 2016, Derek Drouin became Canada’s first Olympic champion in a field event since 1932, winning gold with a clean sheet, just the sixth high jumper to ever do so in Olympic history. It was Canada’s fourth ever men’s high jump medal, following Greg Joy’s silver at Montreal 1976, Duncan McNaughton’s gold at Los Angeles 1932, and Drouin’s own silver at London 2012, where he was part of a three-way tie. In Rio, Canada was also the only country to win medals in both combined events, as heptathlete Brianne Theisen-Eaton joined Warner as a bronze medallist.
There was a pair of bronze medals at Beijing 2008 as Priscilla Lopes-Schliep won Canada’s first Olympic medal on the track since Atlanta 1996, where Donovan Bailey became the “world’s fastest man” by winning the 100m gold in world record time and then anchored the 4x100m relay team to gold. Dylan Armstrong captured Canada’s first Olympic throwing medal since Stockholm 1912 when Duncan Gillis won hammer throw silver.
Until De Grasse’s success at Tokyo 2020, the most medals won by a single athlete had been the five bronzes that Phil Edwards earned in middle distance events from 1928 to 1936.
Amsterdam 1928 stands out as perhaps Canada’s greatest Olympic Games in athletics. Women competed in athletics for the first time, leading to the first female members of a summer Canadian Olympic Team. They won four medals, including gold in the high jump by Ethel Catherwood and the 4x100m relay. Percy Williams is the star of the sprints, becoming the only Canadian to achieve double gold in the 100m and 200m.
Canada’s first ever Olympic medals came in athletics thanks to George Orton, who won 2500m steeplechase gold and 400m hurdles bronze in the span of an hour at Paris 1900.
Olympic Athletics History
Athletics is one of the original Olympic sports, having been included at every Games since Athens 1896. Of the 23 men’s events on the program at Paris 2024, 22 of them have been consistently contested dating back to Antwerp 1920. The last addition was the 20km race walk at Melbourne 1956.
Women were first allowed to compete in Olympic athletics events at Amsterdam 1928. Starting with just five events at those Games, the competition was gradually expanded. By Rome 1960, women could compete in 10 events. At Los Angeles 1984, there were 17 events as women were finally permitted to run distances longer than 1500m and the marathon made its debut. It wasn’t until Beijing 2008 that the current 23 women’s events were fully established with the last addition, the 3000m steeplechase.
The most recent changes to the Olympic program were the addition of a mixed 4x400m relay at Tokyo 2020 and a swap in the race walk program for Paris 2024. The men’s 50km race walk, which was included from Los Angeles 1932 to Tokyo 2020, has been replaced by a mixed team race walk event.

A "brief history of archery."
The contents of this page were copied from the "South African Archery Portal" (www.archerysa.co.za/index.htm).
Pre 25,000 BC
The discovery of the first stone arrowheads in Africa tends to indicate that the bow and arrow were invented there, maybe as early as 50,000 BC.
It was probably developed in conjunction with the invention of the spear thrower.
A short bow would be a better hunting weapon when used to stalk animals in wooded areas, rather than carry around long spears.
The shape of the earliest bows can only be guessed at, as broken or worn out bows would probably end up on the cooking fire, reshaped into different tools or just thrown away.
25,000 - 18,000 BC
Fire hardened points used on the arrows. Flint arrowheads shaped to a point and inserted into a slot and tied with sinew to the front of the arrow. Feathers were glued and tied with sinew to the arrow shafts.
18,000 - 9,000 BC
11,000 BC - In a burial tomb in San Teodoro Cave, Sicily, a skeleton was found with a fragment of a flint arrow head embedded in the pelvis. Arrow shafts found in Germany are dated to approx. 9,000 BC.
9,000 - 6,000 BC
Bows are found in Denmark that date from approx. 8,000 - 6,000 BC.
These bows are one piece made from yew or elm and are 'tillered'. (Even amount of bend on top and bottom limbs.)
Tassili rock fresco depicting archer in Egypt from about 7,500 BC.
6,000 - 3,000 BC
5,000 BC - the Egyptians use the bow for hunting and in warfare against the Persians.
3,300 BC - a 45 yr. old man dies on the Similaun Glacier in the Alps near the present day border between Italy and Austria. His preserved body is found on 11th. September, 1991.
After many years of research, "Oetzi" has revealed how he once lived and worked.
He was dressed in leather clothes with a grass waterproof cloak and shoes stuffed with grass as protection against the weather.
He also had a framed backpack, a utility belt containing tools, a quiver containing 14 arrows, a flint dagger and most amazing of all, a copper axe.
The reason why the discovery of the copper axe caused such interest is that it pre-dates the generally accepted development of copper smelting by almost 1,000 years.
(So now the history books have to be revised.)
After detailed analysis of body tissue and hair, it was discovered to contain high amounts of copper and arsenic, which can only come about from prolonged exposure to copper ore and the smelting process. This indicates that he mined the copper ore, probably from ancient mines found 120km. to the South in Italy and then melted the ore in a furnace to create the copper axe.
His quiver had a protective flap to keep the feathers dry on the arrows.
The wooden arrows were fitted with flint arrowheads. Some of his arrows were shorter than the others and seemed to have been made by a right-handed person indicated by the direction of the thread used to tie on the feathers. The other arrows were longer and made by a left-handed person. Why he had two different lengths of arrows remains unknown.
One possible scenario on how he lived his life is that during the winter he would travel to the copper mines. There he would mine the ore and make copper axes, possibly to trade for other items. During the summer, he would take flocks of sheep up the mountain passes to graze, maybe using his bow and arrow to protect the sheep from wolves and also for hunting. He may have traded some arrows for one of his copper axes during his travels. (For more details, see the BBC Horizon TV documentary "Ice Mummies".)

3,000 - 1,000 BC
2,800 BC - The 'Composite Bow' first appears. The Egyptians further developed this type of bow. Made from wood, tipped with animal horn and held together with animal sinew and glue. The unstrung bow resembled a 'C' shape and required two people to string it. The bowstrings were made from 'catgut' obtained and made from sheep's intestines.
The arrows were extremely light and when used with the composite bow, could be shot 366 metres ( 400 yards ) and the armour of the day was no protection against such weapons.
The Egyptians used archers on the back of light chariots. These were organised into highly trained units able to quickly out-flank an enemy army with devastating effect.
Egyptian bow and arrows from
approx. 2,300 BC-1400 BC.
Bow length = 62"-68" (160-173cm)
Arrows made from reeds with hard foreshafts 8"(20cm) long bound into the shaft with very fine linen thread then tipped with flint heads. The fletchings are 3"(7.5cm) long feathers glued to the shafts with shellac.
Arrow length = 34"-37"(86-94cm).
Arrow weight = 0.4-0.5oz(10-14gm).
2,600 BC - Pyramids of Caral, situated about 125 km north of Lima in Peru, South America were built to form a large city complex. The large stepped pyramids even exceed the size of the pyramids in Egypt for sheer volume of material used. The neighbouring river was used to irrigate crops of cotton, which was then woven into fishing nets to trade with the coastal fishing villages in exchange for fish. This peaceful trading city was thought to exist for the next 600 years.
(Archaeological digging is still revealing how these ancient city dwellers lived.)
2,500 BC - Akkadians conquered Sumeria with infantry archers.
1,500 - 1027 BC - First mention of Crossbows in China.
1479 BC - 1426 BC - The King of Egypt, Thutmose III, was reported to be a highly skilled warrior in archery and horsemanship, often giving public displays of his skill. He expanded the Egyptian empire to cover Syria and Sudan. Many temples and monuments were built to commemorate his triumphs.
1288 BC - Battle for Kadesh between the Pharaoh Ramses II and the Hittite King, Mutallu. The highly mobile Egyptian archers on the back of chariots were able to defeat the Hittite army.
1260 BC - 1240 BC - Philoctetes had been bequeathed the bow and arrows of the Greek hero Heracles in return for lighting his funeral pyre, thus he became a notable archer. On the way to the siege of Troy he was incapacitated by a snakebite and was left behind. After a seer revealed that Troy could be taken only with the aid of Heracles' bow and arrows, the Greek warriors Odysseus and Diomedes went to Philoctetes and persuaded him to accompany them to Troy. There he was healed of his wound and killed Paris, son of the King of Troy, by which action he paved the way for the city's fall through using the 'Trojan Horse'.
1209 BC - Merneptah, son of Ramses II (Pharaoh of Egypt) used his archers to defeat an invading army of Libyans, who lost nearly 9,400 men in the battle.
1,200 - 700 BC - Assyrian archers shot from chariots while the charioteer held a shield for protection.
In China, the nobility of the time attended special schools where they were taught archery, music, rituals, charioteering, mathematics and writing.
1,000 BC - 400 AD
490 BC - 'Battle of Marathon', Athenian infantry of 11,000 men with long spears, swords and armour defeated Persian archers after a rapid charge to avoid the shower of arrows. The Persian army of 15,000 men were flanked by the infantry and lost 6,400 men killed in retreat back to their ships. The Athenians only lost 192 men. According to legend, an Athenian messenger was sent from Marathon to Athens, a distance of about 40 km(25 miles), and there he announced the Persian defeat before dying of exhaustion. The modern marathon race is based on this story.
360 BC - Macedonian - archers on horseback used to support other cavalry troops.
327 BC-326 BC - Indian prince, Porus, who ruled the region between the Hydaspes (Jhelum) and Acesines (Chenab) rivers at the time of Alexander the Great's invasion of the Punjab. Porus resisted Alexander, but with his elephants and slow-moving infantry bunched, he was out-flanked by Alexander's mobile cavalry and mounted archers in the battle of the Hydaspes. Impressed by his techniques and spirit, Alexander allowed him to retain his kingdom.
260 BC - Hannibal used cavalry archers.
250 BC - Parthians (Iran/Afghanistan) were excellent horsemen and archers. In battle they would often shoot their arrows back towards the enemy while pretending to flee.
This could be where the phrase "a Parthian Shot" became today's phrase "a Parting Shot".
221 BC - Qin Shihuang, First Emperor of China. Discovery of his 'Terracotta Army' in 1974. The burial pits contain approx. 6,000 life size figures.
Terracotta CrossBowman. He is wearing plated armour over a battle robe.
Painted Reconstruction. Colour version based on original paint samples.
Bronze CrossBow Bolts. Triangular points on circular stems; 200mm long.
Reconstructed CrossBow. Body is 720mm long. Has bronze trigger mechanism. Estimated range is 800 metres.
53 BC - Parthians tried to invade Rome with some success, but bows and arrows were not much good against garrison walls.
37 BC - Roman troops invaded Parthia, but lost many 1,000's to hit and run tactics.
200-300 AD - The late Han/Jin Period.
Bow: Length: 130 cm. Width: 0.6 cm - 3.2 cm. Thickness: 0.6 cm - 4.6 cm. Arrow: Length: 73.5 cm.

288 AD -
Sebastian commanded a company of the Preatorian Guard for the Roman Emperor, Diocletian. After his secret belief in Christianity was revealed, he refused to renounce his faith. The emperor ordered that he be bound to a stake and shot to death with arrows. He was left for dead after several arrows, but a friend discovered that he was still alive and nursed him back to health. Later he proclaimed his Faith from the steps of the Emperor's Palace.
The guards were ordered to beat him to death with clubs and his body was thrown in the sewer. His body was recovered by friends and buried in the catacombs.
376 AD - the Pope, St. Damascus, built a Basilica over Sebastian's tomb which is now one of the seven principal churches in Rome.
Now St. Sebastian is the Patron Saint of Archers.
400 - 1000 AD
434 AD - Attila the Hun - Reined as King from 434-453AD. The Huns used composite recurve bows from horseback with deadly effect on opposing armies.
The Hun kingdom was located in modern-day Hungary. Attila embarked immediately upon a series of wars extending Hun rule from the Rhine across the north of the Black Sea as far as the Caspian Sea. Some historical accounts number his army between 300,000 to 700,000 troops, which for those times, is a huge force of arms. The defeat of his army by the allied Roman and Visigoth armies at Chalons in 451 AD thwarted his first campaign into Western Europe. The following year, he invaded Northern Italy, nearly securing Ravenna, but halted at the request of Pope Leo I and returned home to his capital near present day Budapest. He died in 453 AD, supposedly choking to death of a nosebleed while in a drunken stupor after marrying another wife.
552 AD - 'Battle of Taginae', the Byzantine emperor, Justinian I sent his commander, Narses, with an army of 20,000 men into Italy, where, at the Apennine village of Taginae near the Flaminian Way, he defeated the Goths. The Goth commander, Totila, had ordered his army to use only spears, was fatally wounded. The victory, credited to imperial archers, allowed Narses to march through Italy and eventually liberate Rome.
500 - 900 AD - Byzantines used mounted archers and then a cavalry charge against the Saracen's, Vandal's, Goth's and Frank's. The Avars used mounted archers using stirrups to stand while shooting, thus increasing their accuracy.
900 AD - Byzantines changed to using archers on foot.
1000 - 1200 AD
1066 AD - The Battle of Hastings - King Harold of England was waiting for the invasion of William of Normandy.
It is believed that King Harold was killed by an arrow through the eye which resulted in victory for William.
Part of the Bayeux Tapestry showing King Harold struck by the arrow.
1099 AD - Crusades. English knights and crossbowmen attack the Mohammadean army that mainly consisted of archers on horses armed with composite bows.
1100 AD - 2nd. August. William II, King of England, is killed by an arrow shot by Sir Walter Tyrel while hunting in the new forest. Sir Walter flees the country. Also in the hunting party is William's brother who succeeds him as Henry I and immediately takes possession of the treasury. There is suspicion that this may not have been an accidental shooting to gain the throne of England.
1100-1135 AD - Henry I proclaimed that an archer would be absolved of murder, if he killed a man during archery practise.
( An ironic touch.)
1147-1149 AD - Crusades ?.
1189 - 1192 AD - Crusades. King Richard killed with a crossbow bolt shot by a defender using one of the attacking army's crossbow bolts. The bolt didn't kill Richard outright, but the wound became infected after the arrow head was cut out.
1200 to 1300 AD.
1208 AD - Temujin became Great Khan of the Mongols, better known as Genghis Khan.
The Mongols were expert mounted archers that used high stirrups which allowed them to shoot in any direction. They used composite bows ( 70 - 160 lb. draw weight ) and released the bowstring with a thumb ring that increased the killing range of the bow to 275 metres ( 300 yards.) The maximum range of their bows was about 550 metres ( 600 yards. )
The unarmoured soldiers wore silk under-shirts to minimise the injury from arrows. The loose silk shirt would wrap around the arrow head without being cut. This would allow the clean removal of the arrow by slowly pulling on the shirt, thus stopping cuts from barbed arrow heads and also reduce the risk of infection.
Their tactic against an opposing army would be to send in a small attack force, engage and then retreat with the opposing army giving chase. This small force would then lead the army to a pre-arranged ambush site, where the army would be surrounded by archers and showered with arrows. The heavy cavalry would then move in to finish off.
The Mongol army used ruthless tactics against cities, sometimes killing the entire population. This would spread fear through the region, making capture of further cities easier.
1211 - 1294 AD - The Mongol Empire spreads as far as Austria, Russia, Syria, Persia, Vietnam, Korea and China.
( See the TV Documentary "Storm from the East" which details the Mongol conquests.)
1227 AD - pipe rolls list a person named Robert Hood as a fugitive. ( Robin Hood ? )
1242 AD - Battle of Taillebourg - English army lost to French - 700 crossbowmen used.
1252 AD - 'Assize of Arms' - those men owning land worth between 40-100 shillings were required to equip themselves with a sword, dagger, bow and arrows. Those owning less than 40 shillings worth of land had to equip themselves with bow and arrows. All men between the age of 15 to 60 years old were ordered to equip themselves.
1298 AD - Battle of Falkirk - English army defeats Scots. The English knights charged the Scottish archers, scattering them, then the English archers attacked the remaining army.
1300 to 1400 AD
1307 AD - William Tell - because William refused to bow towards a hat placed on a pole as a sign of imperial power, has was ordered to shoot an apple off his son's head.( He was known as an expert crossbowman. ) He succeeded in shooting the apple.
The story of his feat also stated that he had a second crossbow bolt hidden behind his belt in case he failed and killed his son, he would have quickly reloaded and killed the official who had ordered him to shoot the apple off his son's head.
1333 AD - 19th July - Battle of Halidon Hill. Scottish army is defeated by Edward III of England demonstrating for the first time the full potential of the English Longbow in battle.
( 22,000 Scottish heavy cavalry defeated by 2,000 English archers and 500 knights.)
1340 AD - English ships of war had archers who used arrows with half-moon shaped heads to cut down the rigging of the opposing French ships.
1346 AD - 26th August - Battle of Crecy - Edward III of England leads his army against the French. Some accounts of the battle say that the English archers had kept their flax bowstrings dry by putting them under their helmets as it had been raining the day before.
The French force of crossbowmen attacked from the front, but maybe due to the rain, many misfired or the bowstrings snapped. The English archers showered them with arrows before they could reload. Most of the crossbowmen fled. The French cavalry then charged, but were decimated by the English archers.
1,542 French knights are killed with only 50 English killed.
French crossbowmen shown on the left using 'cranks' to pull the bowstring back while the English longbowmen on the right showered them with arrows.
Detail of Crossbow with Windlass.
1356 AD - 19th September - 'Battle of Poitiers' - Edward III of England defeats King John II of France. The English troops took up positions on marshy ground near a river and when the French knights charged, they became bogged and easy targets for the English archers. King John is taken prisoner and held in the Tower of London. A ransom of 3,000,000 gold crowns is demanded for his release.
1400 to 1500 AD
1400 AD - Byzantines were defeated by Turkish archers on horses.
1440 AD - The bow shown at left is a 'Centre Shot Stone Bow' from an painting dated about 1440 AD. It is interesting to note the split bowstring shown, as this type of bowstring/cable set-up has recently been used on the modern Compound Bows to do away with using the usual cable guard set-up.
1415 AD - 25th October - Battle of Agincourt - Henry V of England army was attacked by the French army near Calais. The French brought 60,000 to the field of battle, including several hundred mounted knights representing all of the most important families in France. This force faced a mere 6,000 English soldiers, mainly archers. The opposing forces faced each other for several hours waiting to see who would move first. Henry sounded the attack, whereby the archers advanced a short distance and planted a row of stakes in front of them. This prompted the French to attack with a knight's charge. This charge was repelled, but the retreating force ran into the second wave of French knights and other cavalry units. This caused mass confusion in the French attack.
The English archers continued to shower arrows down on the French until finally running out of arrows. The archers then attacked with swords, daggers and even the mallets they had used to drive in the stakes.
Some accounts state as many as 10,000 French knights and soldiers were killed, with only 100 English soldiers killed. Other accounts state only 29 English killed. Either way it was a testament to the effectiveness of organized units of archers equipped with heavy warbows against the best plate and mail armor of the time.

Examples the various types of arrow tips used during the 15th. Century.
The 'barbed' arrow tips were the most common used.
The small triangular tips without 'barbs' were used to pierce the chainmail armour.
The 'half-moon' arrow tips were used to shoot through the rigging ropes of opposing ships.
1450 AD - Earliest surviving ballad, "Robin Hood and the Monk".
1472 AD - The practise of Archery was declining due to shortage of bowstaves.
1457 AD - James II, King of England, first decreed that the sports of football and golf should be banned as they interfered with archery practise.
1477 AD - Edward IV, King of England, bans the early version of the game of cricket as it is interfering with compulsory archery practise.
1492 AD - Leonardo da Vinci. Sketch design of siege crossbow by Leonardo da Vinci, done when he was employed as a siege engineer in the court of Francis I of France.

1508 AD - The use of crossbows was forbidden in England, to increase the use of the longbow.
1509 AD - Henry VIII, King of England, at age 18 proves himself an accomplished archer.
1510 AD - King Henry purchased 40,000 yew bow staves from the Doge of Venice.
1513 AD - Sept. 9th.'Battle of Flodden', fought near Branxton, Northumberland. James IV, King of Scotland, crossed the border on 22nd. August with an army of about 30,000 men supported by artillery. Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey, gathered an army of about 20,000 to oppose him. Fearing that the Scots would retreat to the border, Surrey issued a challenge to James, who agreed to wait until September 9th. to fight. The battle began in the late afternoon. The Scots fought stubbornly, but the English 2.5 metre long bill (a staff ending in a hooked-shaped blade) proved superior to the Scottish 4.5 metre long spear and English archers proved decisive on the Scottish right. By nightfall the Scottish army was annihilated. James was killed, together with at least 10,000 of his men.
1520 AD - Henry VIII demonstrates his skill with the longbow at a summit meeting hosted by the French King, where he repeatedly shot into the centre of a target at a distance of 220 metres ( 240 yards ).
Henry VIII demonstrating his skill with the longbow.
1520 AD - the musket is invented and will soon replace the bow as a weapon of war.
1521 AD - General Cortes of Spain used crossbowmen in his conquest of Mexico.
1534 AD - King Henry orders that 30,000 bows be made and kept at the Tower of London.
1545 AD - King Henry's flagship "Mary Rose" sinks in the Solent near Portsmouth, England. The remains are recovered in 1982 from the fine silt that has preserved the hull and its contents. Over 100 longbows were found all made from fine-grained yew. The yew was shaped into a 'D' section with sapwood on the back of the bow and a thicker section of heartwood on the belly. This worked as an efficient natural lamination giving the bow strength. Boxes of arrows were also found, bound in bundles of 24 and kept apart with a pierced circular leather disc to prevent crushing the goose flight feathers. The shafts were 800mm long, 10mm diameter and made from ash wood. A nock was cut into the base of each shaft and reinforced with a v-shaped horn insert. It has been estimated that the range of these longbows with a 41 kg ( 90 lb.) draw weight could have been up to 250 metres. Also other records indicate that a practised archer could shoot up to 12 arrows per minute.
Imagine what an army of a thousand archers could do to an opposing force.
The reports of the sky darkening with arrows were a matter of fact!
Roger Ascham published his book 'Toxophilis' (Lover of the Bow) which was the first book written in English about archery.
1588 AD - 10,000 soldiers on the English fleet, armed with muskets, defeated the Spanish Armada. ( The decline of bow and arrow in warfare is now assured. )
1595 AD - all bows were ordered to be exchanged for muskets.
1600 to 1700 AD
1625 AD - Picture of a foot soldier about to release his longbow. He also holds his pike at the ready to defend against possible cavalry attack, but it is obviously also being used as a way to determine the proper elevation to hit distant targets.
He has a sword for close combat. Note the two finger draw of the bowstring.
1644 AD - Tipper Muir - last battle in which English archers were used.
1673 AD - The archery tournament known as the 'Ancient Scorton Arrow' was founded in Yorkshire, England. ( It is the oldest archery tournament still held today.)
1676 AD - The Royal Company of Archers first practised 'Clout Archery' using longbows to shoot at a 31" diameter white target at distances between 180 to 240 yards.
1700 to 1800 AD
1708 AD - One of the most notable incidents involving archery in Sikh history relates to the death of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the 10th Guru and a co-founder of the Sikh religion. In 1708, 2 Pathan assassins attempted to kill him. One stabbed him in the chest, but the Guru responded with his sword and beheaded the attacker. The other Pathan was dealt with by the Guru's guards. The Guru's wounds were tended to by a Dr. Cole, I believe. Now, around this time, Guru Gobind Singh Ji had received a gift of a new, powerful bow. While his wounds were healing, he could not resist the temptation of trying the new bow out. Sadly, drawing the bow re-opened his chest wound and it began bleeding profusely. As a result, he died in October 1708, but by then the Sikh faith was well established.
Sikhs were known to hunt game for sport and as a means of sharpening their martial skills.
It is evident from historical records and paintings, that short recurve bows were used, probably shot using a thumb ring.

Archery competition will begin with the Ranking Round on Saturday, August 9 at the Beijing Olympic Green Archery Field next to the Olympic Village and just a short shuttle ride from the Main Press Center.
The women compete at noon, followed by the men at 3:30 p.m.
Regular competition for archery begins at the same venue on Sunday, August 10 and runs through Friday, August 15. The U.S. men will be competing in both the individual and team events, while the women will just be competing in the individual events.
Event Schedule:
Sat, August 9: Ranking Round
Sun, August 10: Women's Team (U.S. team not competing)
Mon, August 11: Men's Team
Tue, August 12: Women's Individual Elimination Round (1/32 and 1/16)
Wed, August 13: Men's Individual Elimination Round (1/32 and 1/16)
Thurs, August 14: Women's Individual (Quarters, Semis, Bronze Medal and Gold Medal Matches)
Fri, August 15: Men's Individual (Quarters, Semis, Bronze Medal and Gold Medal Matches)
The 2008 U.S. Olympic Men's Archery team looks to be successful once again as five-time Olympian Butch Johnson (Woodstock, Conn.) and three-time Vic Wunderle ( Mason City , Ill. ) provide the leadership, with first-time Olympian Brady Ellison ( Glendale, Ariz. / Chula Vista , Calif. ) set to build on his U.S. Olympic Team Trials gold medal.
Johnson is a multiple national champion and two-time Olympic medalist, including winning Team Gold in 1996. He was the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials silver medalist. Wunderle is competing in his third-consecutive Olympic Games after winning a silver medal (individual) and bronze (team) in Sydney in 2000. He was the bronze medalist at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials. Ellison is the youngster on this year's team at 19 years old and is competing in his first Olympic Games, but he is already a multiple national champion. He is coming off of his career best performance with a silver medal at World Cup #3 in Anatalya, Turkey.
The U.S. Men just missed out on a medal in 2004 after finishing fourth in the team event. Prior Olympic Games success for the U.S. Men include medaling at every single Games except for Barcelona in 1992 since archery was re-instated as an Olympic Sport in 1972. The U.S. Team has captured a total of 13 medals since 1972 and currently holds the 2x27 finals total Olympic record of 502, set by Huish, Johnson and White at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Once again Korea will be the top threat in Beijing, but the U.S. is a major contender for returning to the medal stand.
On the women's side, 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials gold medalist Jennifer Nichols ( Cheyenne, Wyo. ) returns to the Olympic Games after competing in Athens in 2004. Nichols won gold (individual) and bronze (team) at the 2007 Pan American Games and is looking to improve on her ninth place finish in Athens. She will be joined by an Olympic veteran but first timer for the U.S. squad. Khatuna Lorig ( West Hollywood , Calif. / Chula Vista , Calif. ) is competing on her fourth Olympic Games team, but her first with the United States. She has competed in the past for Georgia (2000, 1996) and the Unified Soviet Team (1992). She won a bronze medal in the team event in 1992. She was the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials silver medalist.
With Korea also being the top threat to the women's team, the U.S. is looking toward Beijing to bring home the first women's Olympic medal since 1988.

Geena Davis has played several adventurous, physically demanding roles over the course of her acting career — baseball catcher, pirate queen, sleeper super-spy among them. But her greatest athletic challenge came in her personal life, when she became an Olympic-caliber archery champion at age 41. It all started as an unlikely notion, Davis, now 63, tells PEOPLE, when she was watching the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta and became fascinated with the sport of archery, where American Justin Huish won two gold medals. “They had a lot of coverage of archery because America was winning all the gold medals, And I was like Wow!” Read More…

Previous articles in this series have explored archery’s return to the Olympic Games in 1972 and its amateur era from 1976 to 1992.
In 1996, the Olympics returned to North America for the largest Games yet held. Archery, along with track cycling and tennis, was held in Stone Mountain Park, a picturesque site 15 miles outside the city of Atlanta.
The wider event is perhaps best known for garish commercialisation (which ultimately led to the strict branding rules still in place today), a few organising mishaps and a terrorist incident, rather than its legacy of sporting excellence.
But the archery competitions offered up one of the greatest surprises in Olympic history.
A qualification and quota system was used for the first time in Atlanta, with the number of archers set at 128 – 64 men and 64 women – where it has remained ever since. This made archery one of the first Olympic sports to achieve equal gender participation at the Games.
The qualifying round was shortened from 144 to 72 arrows – all shot at 70 metres. After qualification, the competition went to matchplay. Individual matches in the first three rounds were decided on total score over 18 arrows and quarterfinals on over 12 arrows.
Ukraine’s Lina Herasimenko and Italian man Michele Frangilli seeded first. Frangilli set a new Olympic record of 684 points and was widely regarded as the favourite. Herasimenko’s score of 673 astonishingly stood as an Olympic record for 25 years, until the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games (held in 2021), when it was finally beaten by Korea’s eventual triple-gold-medallist An San.
One archer of whom little was expected was Justin Huish, who had scraped into the USA team as the third man. He was 19 years old, sporting earrings, a ponytail and wraparound shades under a reversed baseball cap. He looked more like a skateboarder than an archer.
Huish’s parents owned an archery shop but he hadn’t shown much interest in the sport, regarding it as “boring”, until he picked up a bow at age 14 and found he had a talent for it.
“[US coach] Lloyd Brown told me from one of the first few times I met him that I could make the Olympic team someday,” he said in 2021. “I just laughed at him.”
Coached by Brown, Huish entered the US trials for the 1992 Olympics but finished a long way off the pace.
“I just never put myself in that place, with Jay Barrs and Darrell Pace and all the greats. I just never thought I could ever beat them at that time,” he explained. “But in ’93, I started shooting the scores that those guys were shooting.”
In 1995, Huish moved to Chula Vista to practise full-time at the Olympic training centre, which had recently opened a residential programme for archers.
“I filled out an application form because I didn’t really know what I was doing with my life,” he said. “I knew I wanted to shoot, but I still didn’t really equate that the Olympics were attainable.”
Alongside fellow residential athletes Rod White and Butch Johnson, who all lived together in one room at some point, Huish buckled down and worked, winning the national championships in 1996. The three men would eventually comprise the US team for its home Games in Atlanta.
In the build-up to the Olympics, the brash Californian teenager caught the eye of the press and Huish even appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
“The questions were about winning gold medals when I just didn’t want to lose that first match. Everything after that would just be gravy,” recalled Justin. “Making the Olympic team is one thing. But, you know, actually winning the stupid thing? I mean, no way!”
Despite a lack of any prior international success, the teenager seeded a strong ninth over the qualifying round at Stone Mountain. With domestic support behind him, Huish began to tear through the men’s field. In footage of the event, you can see him growing in confidence with each match, with each win, roared on by the home crowd.
“My mind was just saying: ‘Hey, I’m an Olympian. I’m just here for the experience.’ I think that definitely helped tone down any pressure that I was putting on myself because no matter what, I had already wildly exceeded my expectations. It just felt national,” he said.
Somehow, through a quirk of fate, Huish had been assigned the number one as his athlete identifier – out of all 10,300-plus at the Games.
“Everything that happened was just like it was meant to be. It felt like I could have shot my arrow behind the target, in the opposite direction, and it would have boomeranged around and still come and hit the 10-ring. Like I could do no wrong.”
Huish beat six opponents in a row, edging out top seed and favourite Frangilli in a quarterfinal double-shoot-off and then eventually defeating Sweden’s Magnus Petersson for gold.
His world suddenly exploded.
It was three in the morning before Justin had finished the round of media interviews and got to bed, despite having to wake up and shoot the men’s team eliminations at seven the next day. (In 1996, the men’s and women’s team finals were shot on the same day – the last day of competition.)
“I should probably have said, ‘no, I can’t do all these things’, but it was just a whirlwind. I didn’t know any better,” said Huish.
The US men’s team – Justin, Rod and Butch – rose to the challenge, even if Huish claims his teammates carried him, exhausted, through the first two matches. He found the energy to eventually face the Korean men in the gold medal match.
“When I needed to come through, I did,” said Huish.
The trio shot 251 points in all four rounds of matchplay – in the then-27-arrow matches – and eventually beat Korea by two, although there was some nerve-wracking measurement required in the final end.
The victory in Atlanta remains the US men’s only team gold at the Games to date, although they did also collect back-to-back silver medals in the event in 2012 and 2016. Huish became the first male archer to ever do the double – both individual and team gold at the same Games. It wouldn’t be matched until Ku Bonchan in 2016. And Huish still remains the only non-Korean archer to take more than one gold at a single Olympics.
Korea’s women were already firmly entrenched in Atlanta. Kim Kyung Wook won individual gold and the women delivered a then-third-consecutive steamroller performance in the team competition.
The media swarm around Huish didn’t stop for a long time.
“In the US, archery gets zero love,” he said. “They don’t report on other sports, it’s pretty much baseball, NBA and NFL and that’s it.”
“But because I had the ponytail, hat on backwards and was wearing sunglasses, and not your prototypical [archery] athlete, it crossed over quite a bit into the mainstream media. Normally, you might get a mention on, like, the fourth page of USA Today. I was front page and getting all the big interviews.”
“I got to ride with vice president Gore from the basketball game to the closing ceremony, go to do a lot of stuff that would usually be left for the guy who wins the 100-metre dash.”
Huish remained on the US team until 2000 when his career and life took a sharp turn. He withdrew from the Games in Sydney after being caught selling marijuana, eventually receiving a four-month prison sentence and a two-year ban from the sport.
Nearly 20 years later, Huish made a return to serious recurve archery, working his way around the US circuit and back up the rankings. To date, he’s not ruled out a run at a potential second Games.
“The Olympic rings… for a lot of people, you know, it’s the mountain top. For some people, they’ve been training since they were four years old, and that’s all they cared about all their life,” said Huish. “But there might be two different ways to get there. I kind of took the back roads, I guess.”
In many ways, Justin Huish personified the lucky amateur, showing up essentially out of nowhere and giving one of the most thrilling performances yet seen on the Olympic stage – and subsequently being thrust into an increasingly professional spotlight. After a century of strict amateurism at the Games, the job of an Olympic Champion, even an Olympian, extended far beyond the competition field.
The Games in Sydney are often held up as the model for a modern Olympics. Sports-mad Australia put on a spectacular show and wild success across the board re-invigorated a slightly stagnant Olympic movement, inspiring new bids from potential host cities the world over.
Most archers perform the best at their very first Olympics. (It’s true.)
When Simon Fairweather, of Strathalbyn in the Adelaide Hills, won the World Archery Championships in Poland in 1991, his future in the sport seemed assured. He was 22, already an Olympian and was sponsored as a full-time athlete. What followed were nine years of frustration and unfilled expectations, with Fairweather struggling to regain the form that booked him the world title. His performances in Barcelona and Atlanta had been anonymous. He almost quit the sport more than once.
By the time he got to Sydney, it was his fourth Games, he was already 31 years old – when most previous Olympic Champions had been sub-20 – but he’d spent two years training full-time under then-Australian-coach Kisik Lee, who was one of the first but definitely not the last Korean coaches to export their expertise.
Lee’s time as a national coach in Korea had brought 16 Olympic medals – eight of them gold – and he was convinced Fairweather still had what it took.
Simon’s day of destiny came on 20 August 2000. In the gusty winds of Homebush Bay, he equalled the Olympic record for the 18-arrow match in his first round.
“I don’t remember doing anything wrong. I was very disciplined in following my routine. I barely shot a bad arrow in all my matches,” he said in 2016.
“Finals are like a staring competition. That day I was the one who didn’t blink. It was a matter of staying with the routine and excluding thoughts of other things. It’s not a time for savouring the experience and looking at the spectacle that’s unfolding around you.”
“I just told myself to keep my mind on my job, my routine. After that would be time for thinking about what it still means.”
In the gold medal match against the USA’s Vic Wunderle, Fairweather nervelessly shot 10, 10, nine to set up a lead… and never looked back, winning resoundingly, 113-106. Simon would also shoot for Australia at his fifth Olympics, four years later, before retiring and going into business.
Wunderle, for his part, made two more top-eight appearances at the Games and still shoots today.
The archery competitions at the Athens 2004 Olympics were fraught with problems – which began years prior and continued until the very last moment. Even the night before the first scoring arrows, things looked uncertain. But the event was finally held in one of the greatest venues in the history of the Games: The Panathenaic Stadium, home of the ancient Olympics.
Credit for this goes to the late Beppe Cinnirella, who called securing the location one of his proudest achievements as World Archery secretary general.
At one point, the organisers threatened to hold the archery events on an airport runway. Beppe persuaded them to divert their car via the ancient stadium.
“We stopped and had a deep look. At the meeting, we proposed the Panathenaic and obviously the answer was, ‘no chance’,” he recalled in 2017. “Slowly we overcame all the obstacles and finally we got it approved. And I still think the choice of the Panathenaic, which was my idea, was one of the best things that happened to the sport, for FITA, for the future.”
The splendour of the archery competition against the gleaming white marble became one of the key visual images of that Games, which saw an unexpected victory for Italian man Marco Galiazzo and a silver for Japan’s Hiroshi Yamamoto, an astonishing 20 years after his bronze at Los Angeles 1984.
Park Sung-Hyun, widely regarded as one of the greatest archers of all time, won the women’s title as her Korean teammates – Lee Sung Jin and Yun Mi Jin (the returning winner from Sydney) – completed a sweep of the individual podium, and then took an(other) easy team title.
Not since Darrell Pace’s dominance of the men’s field in the late 1970s and early 1980s had there been such a head-and-shoulders favourite for back-to-back Olympic titles. (Pace ultimately won his two golds eight years apart with the US team’s boycott of the 1980 Olympics in Moscow.)
But Park, who became the first recurve archer to break 1400 points on the 1440 Round in 2005, was the favourite to repeat in 2008.
The Olympics were back in Asia. China was finally awarded the Games for the first time, starting an era of major multisport events in the country. Beijing built not one but two temporary archery arenas in a major new sports park, erected specially for the Olympics, with each staging eliminations concurrently.
The effort was well rewarded.
In 2008, Korea’s women had won six straight individual titles at the Olympics. China’s Zhang Juan Juan was in no mood to allow that dominance to continue.
“I felt really pumped up when I was up against the Korean archers,” said Zhang at the time. “I had put in a lot of effort to compete with them. Even if I were to lose, I wanted to intimidate them with my performance.”
Zhang seeded just 27th but proceeded to scythe through the women’s field – including all three Koreans.
She beat Joo Hyun-Jung by five, 106-101, in the quarterfinals. (Incidentally, this was the first Olympics at which every match was decided over 12 arrows, rather than the 18 for the early phases as had been used previously.)
Then fell Yun Ok Hee, one of the most successful internationals of the late noughties, 115-109.
Park, the favourite, had shot that score – a new Olympic record – just a few rounds earlier. She was into the final, her second consecutive at the Olympics, too. But the outcome in the rain-soaked arena was no longer certain.
The Chinese archer shot a seven in the first end. But at the end of the third, Juan Juan was a point up. A nine with her last arrow sealed victory.
As with Fairweather’s win in 2000, Zhang credited her success to laser-like focus.
“I had found this incredible level of concentration and was just totally immersed in my own mind. Sometimes I couldn’t tell if the match was actually finished, because I was totally focused on my game,” she said. “I knew my opponents were very strong, but I was totally confident that I could do better than them. I did not realise until much later what I had actually achieved.”
Zhang remains the only non-Korean archer to win the women’s title at the Olympic Games since the nation’s competitive emergence in 1984.
Professionalism had begun to change the sport outside of the Olympics. Between Athens and Beijing, the Archery World Cup was launched. The elite competition circuit provided a regular competition outlet for athletes outside of major multisport events and world championships. Commercial and broadcast opportunities were starting to emerge.
London was the first city to host the Olympic Games three times.
Lord’s Cricket Ground morphed from the sacred ‘Home of Cricket’ to the ‘Home of Archery’ for a few weeks in the summer of 2012. It was the first time that the Olympic archery events would be held in another existing sporting venue.
Archers shot from just in front of the old pavilion, over the hallowed turf, towards the iconic modern media centre.
With huge temporary stands erected on the outfield of the cricket pitch, the 6500-capacity arena was a sell-out. (Spectators even turned up to watch the closed-doors qualifying rounds having fallen victim to a ticketing scam.) The stadium was packed to the rafters and the atmosphere was electric.
London saw the introduction of the set system for individual matchplay. (The team competitions remained on cumulative score.) Another change was the scheduling of both men’s and women’s early-round eliminations in the same session, streamlining the schedule and defining clear finals days – a move that will remain in place until at least Paris 2024 and probably beyond.
Korea won three of the four available medals – but the country’s men were relegated to bronze as Italy beat the USA in perhaps the most exciting Olympic team final ever witnessed.
Aida Roman and Mariana Avitia put Mexico on the archery map, taking women’s individual silver and bronze, setting the stage for the country’s ongoing competitive rise. It was the fruit of an extraordinarily successful elite programme.
Ahead of them on the results sheet was only Ki Bo Bae, who enjoyed wild popularity following the win.
She was the seventh Korean woman to be named Olympic Champion. For all the female squad’s dominance, prior to 2012, the Korean men had never crested the mountain, taking silver medals three times (in 1988, 1992 and 2008) and bronze once. But on the final day of the Games, 13-year international veteran Oh Jin Hyek achieved what none before could.
He dropped Ukraine’s defending champion Viktor Ruban in the quarterfinals, survived Dai Xiaoxiang of China in a semifinal shoot-off and then beat Japan’s Takaharu Furukawa to gold.
The success of the Olympics in London was followed by a financially-troubled Games in Rio de Janeiro. The first Olympics in South America were awarded in a period of plenty for Brazil – but by the time they took place in 2016, the landscape was vastly different.
Archery took place in one of the city’s most iconic thoroughfares, the Sambodromo, brought to life once a year for the world-famous Carnival.
Unlike the Olympic Park, which was in a suburban neighbourhood in the west, the venue was sandwiched between favelas in the city’s downtown. It was, however, perhaps the most atmospheric venue of all, with a backdrop of the Corcovado mountain and the statue of Christ the Redeemer. Across seven days of competition in wildly variable weather, the unique spot left an impression.
It was hoped to introduce the mixed team in Rio – but challenges ahead of the Games prevented it.
The competition followed the same format as London but finally brought the set system to the team events. It was also the first Olympics to utilise electronic scoring, made possible by huge laser frames erected around the targets, the first iteration of automatic arrow spotting that was implemented at World Archery events.
Korea – for the first (and to date only) time – took every available gold medal.
It was the apotheosis of a system funded to produce Olympic results, even if neither of the individual winners, Chang Hye Jin and Ku Bonchan, went into the competition as favourites. And even if neither is still considered among the pantheon of true greats.
It felt almost as if a bubble had burst.
Sure, archery was professional. But Korea was the most professional. At an Olympic Games in which the village, where athletes were living, was at least a 45-minute drive away, the team had installed a secret rest facility close to the venue.
A squad so clearly better organised, better funded and better backed had arrived… surveyed… and conquered.
Before 1992, archery was at risk of Olympic exclusion, its competition format in dire need of evolution to maintain relevance in a rapidly-evolving and television-first environment.
By 2012, the head-to-head format, a preference for iconic venues, the launch of the Archery World Cup and, finally, the set system, had earnt the sport serious respect. After London, archery’s financial status was upgraded – meaning it would receive a larger share of revenues from the Olympics. The trend continued through Rio. Media numbers and interest figures were higher than other ‘better-known’ Olympic sports.
With the mixed team finally added for Tokyo, optimism was high for Tokyo. It would be the fourth Games in Japan (including two in the winter) but the fourth to include archery.
In Yumenoshima Park – dream island park – on the edge of the water in the large bay, perched on a reclaimed landfill, a permanent archery range was erected. Nextdoor, a spectacular temporary finals arena was built with capacity for more than 5600 people. It had a design that looked, from the outfield, almost like a classical piece of Japanese architecture.
It might have been the best Olympic finals field ever constructed – but would sadly never see a paying customer. Only a handful of teammates, coaches and press would ever sit in its acreage of seats. At full capacity, you could only imagine what a theatre it would have been.
Of course, no one could have predicted what would happen in 2020.
The Olympic Games were finally held in 2021 after an unprecedented postponement and with Japan still not recovered from the swirling pandemic that upended the entire world. For the first time in Olympic history, the Games were held behind closed doors, with the venues open to television cameras and journalists – but not an audience.
Such decisions remain controversial – but not as difficult as the decision to have them go ahead. The extraordinary protective system, staffed by countless volunteers and professionals, isolated Olympic visitors and (largely very successfully) prevented any further outbreaks. For a lot of the sporting contingent, getting Tokyo over and done with was simply an immense relief.
But in the reality of the arena, despite the protocols, despite the empty seats and despite the delay, the atmosphere was… Olympic.
A record five archery medals were awarded over a record eight days.
In the intense Japanese heat, An San took a record three of those, winning first mixed team, then team and, finally, individual gold. The unprecedented haul for a single archer at a single Games propelled her into joint-fourth in the all-time Olympic medal table and made her an overnight sensation in Korea.
Tokyo also brought a first-ever archery medal for Turkey as Mete Gazoz leapt in celebration after becoming Olympic Champion.
His reaction, seconds after loosing the last arrow of his final against Mauro Nespoli, was the perfect release after an intense competition, featuring some of the closest-fought battles in Olympic history, made all the more poignant by the delays and uncertainty of the previous year-and-a-half. (And seen, on screen, as the first Games to feature on-screen heartrate figures during shooting, visualising the immense pressure on the athletes’ shoulders.)
“We’ve waited 100 years for this,” said Turkish head coach Goktug Ergin after the final.
“After 2016, after Rio, I promised myself I would be Olympic Champion next time in Tokyo,” said Gazoz, a full-time professional archer since his early teens. “I worked really hard, I did all the things necessary to be here, to be on top of the podium, and I’m really happy to be able to win this medal.”
The future of Olympic archery is bright.
The competition will be held at Invalides in Paris in 2024 – right in the centre of the city – and World Archery has proposed compound’s inclusion at LA28. If the latter is approved, a brand-new chapter will begin.
Much has changed since archery returned to the programme of the Olympic Games in 1972.
Then, the format was geared towards the history of the sport, now it balances competitive results with spectator enjoyment. Then, archery was an outsider, now it is core to the Olympics. Then, the athletes were amateurs, now they are professionals.
But at least one thing remains.
“The Olympics is a dream,” said John Williams, who won the men’s event in 1972. “And I was able to fulfil that dream.”

Pregnant athletes are pushing boundaries in Paris by competing ever later into pregnancy. Egyptian fencer Nada Hafez revealed she'd been competing at seven months pregnant — and achieved her best result in three Olympics. Azerbaijani archer Yayalgul Ramazonova was revealed to have competed at a similar point in her own pregnancy. These stories are emerging as both attitudes and knowledge progress about how much women can do while pregnant. Doctors are increasingly saying, according to an expert in sports medicine, that if an athlete is healthy and has no complications, she can exercise, train and compete at a very high level.

PARIS (AP) — Many Olympic athletes take to Instagram to share news of their exploits, trials, victories and heartbreaks. After her fencing event ended last week, Egypt’s Nada Hafez shared a little bit more.
She’d been fencing for two, the athlete revealed — and in fact had been pregnant for seven months.
“What appears to you as two players on the podium, they were actually three!” Hafez wrote, under an emotional picture of her during the match. “It was me, my competitor, & my yet-to-come to our world, little baby!” Mom (and baby) finished the competition ranked 16th, Hafez’s best result in three Olympics.
A day later, an Azerbaijani archer was also revealed on Instagram to have competed while six-and-a-half months pregnant. Yaylagul Ramazanova told Xinhua News she’d felt her baby kick before she took a shot — and then shot a 10, the maximum number of points.
There have been pregnant Olympians and Paralympians before, though the phenomenon is rare for obvious reasons. Still, most stories have been of athletes competing far earlier in their pregnancies — or not even far enough along to know they were expecting.
Like U.S. beach volleyball star Kerri Walsh Jennings, who won her third gold medal while unknowingly five weeks pregnant with her third child.
“When I was throwing my body around fearlessly, and going for gold for our country, I was pregnant,” she said on “Today” after the London Games in 2012. She and husband Casey (also a beach volleyball player) had only started trying to conceive right before the Olympics, she said, figuring it would take time. But she felt different, and volleyball partner Misty May-Treanor said to her — presciently, it turned out — “You’re probably pregnant.”
It makes sense that pregnant athletes are pushing boundaries now, one expert says, as both attitudes and knowledge develop about what women can do deep into pregnancy.
“This is something we’re seeing more and more of,” says Dr. Kathryn Ackerman, a sports medicine physician and co-chair of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee’s women’s health task force, “as women are dispelling the myth that you can’t exercise at a high level when you’re pregnant.”
Ackerman notes there’s been little data, and so past decisions on the matter have often been arbitrary. But, she says, “doctors now recommend that if an athlete is in good condition going into pregnancy, and there are no complications, then it’s safe to work out, train, and compete at a very high level.” An exception, she says, might be something like ski racing, where the risk of a bad fall is great.
But in fencing, says the Boston-based Ackerman, there is clearly protective padding for athletes, and in less physically strenuous sports like archery or shooting, there’s absolutely no reason a woman can’t compete.
It’s not just an issue of physical fitness, of course. It is deeply emotional. Deciding whether and how to compete while trying to also grow a family is a thorny calculus that male athletes simply don’t have to consider — at least in anywhere near the same way.
Just ask Serena Williams, who famously won the Australian Open in 2017 while pregnant with her first child. When, some five years later, she wanted to try for a second, she stepped back from tennis — an excruciating decision.
“Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family,” Williams — who won four Olympic golds — wrote in a Vogue essay. “I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity.”
Williams welcomed Adira River Ohanian in 2023, joining older sister Olympia. And Olympia was the name that U.S. softball player Michele Granger’s mother reportedly suggested for the baby Granger was carrying when she pitched the gold-medal winning game in Atlanta in 1996. Her husband suggested the name Athena. Granger preferred neither.
“I didn’t want to make that connection with her name,” said Granger to Gold Country Media in 2011. The baby was named Kady.
The choice to combine motherhood and a sports career involves many factors, to be sure, which vary by sport and by country. Franchina Martinez, 24, who competes in track for the Dominican Republic, says more female athletes retire early than male athletes in her country, and one reason is pregnancy.
“When they get pregnant, they believe they won’t be able to return, unlike in more developed countries where they might be able to,” said Martinez. “So they quit the sport, they don’t return to compete, or they aren’t the same.”
For the sake of her career, she said, she doesn’t plan to have children in the near future: “As long as I can avoid it for the sake of my sport, I will postpone it because I am not ready for that yet.”
At the Paris fencing venue over the weekend, fans were mixed between admiration for the bravery and determination of Hafez, a 26-year-old former gymnast with a degree in medicine, and speculation about whether it was risky.
“There are certainly sports that are less violent,” said Pauline Dutertre, 29, sitting outside the elegant Grand Palais during a break in action alongside her father, Christian. Dutertre had competed herself on the international circuit in saber until 2013. “It is, after all, a combat sport.”
“In any case,” she noted, “it is courageous. Even without making it to the podium, what she did was brave.”
Marilyne Barbey, attending the fencing from Annecy in southeastern France with her family, wondered about safety too, but added: “You can fall anywhere, at any time. And, in the end, it is her choice.”
Ramazanova, who was visibly pregnant when competing, also earned admiration, including from her peers. She reached the final 32 in her event.
Casey Kaufhold, an American who earned bronze in the mixed team category, said it was “really cool” to see her Azerbaijani colleague achieving what she did.
“I think it’s awesome that we see more expecting mothers shooting in the Olympic Games and it’s great to have one in the sport of archery,” she said in comments to The Associated Press. “She shot really well, and I think it’s really cool because my coach is also a mother and she’s been doing so much to support her kids even while she’s away.”
Kaufhold said she hoped Ramazanova’s run would inspire more mothers and expectant mothers to compete. And she had a more personal thought for the mom-to-be:
“I think it’s awesome for this archer that one day, she can tell her kid, ‘Hey, I went to the Olympic Games and you were there, too.’”

Tokyo, 2020
Turkey's Mete Gazoz, who didn't have any great results in world championships or the Olympics before Tokyo, won gold at the 2020 Games. He beat Italy's Mauro Nespoli, who claimed silver, while Furukawa Takaharu (JPN) bested Chinese Taipei's Tang Chih-Chun in the bronze-medal match. An San (KOR), who made her Olympic debut at age 20 at the Tokyo Games, won gold in the women's competition. Russia's Elena Osipova claimed silver and Italy's Lucilla Boari the bronze. In the men's team tournament, South Kora won gold, Chinese Tapei earned silver and Japan was awarded bronze. For the women's team tournament, South Korea won gold, Russia took silver and Germany left with bronze. The mixed teams event made its debut at the Tokyo Olympics. South Korea continued its dominance in the sport by winning gold, the Netherlands earned silver and Mexico took home the bronze medal.
Rio, 2016
Korea continued its dominance in archery at the Rio Olympics: all four gold medals (and one bronze) went to Korean athletes. Ku Bon-Chan won the men's individual competition and Chang Hye-Jin won the women's. The U.S. left with a silver medal in the men's team event and Brady Ellison took bronze in the men's individual competition. South Korea's four gold medals made archery the country's most successful Olympic sport, overtaking short-track speed skating at the Olympic Winter Games.
London, 2012
The set system debuted in the men's and women's individual competition. Oh Jin-Hyek of South Korea took gold in the men's individual final defeating Japan's Takaharu Furukawa 7-1. Italy won the men's team event by defeating the United States team of Brady Ellison, Jake Kaminski and Jacob Wukie 219-218. South Korea added to its archery medal count in the women's events as Ki Bo-Bae won the individual event and South Korea's women's team won gold. The Mexican duo of Aida Roman and Mariana Avitia recorded silver and bronze respectively in the women's individual event while American Khatuna Lorig finished fourth.
Beijing, 2008
Ukraine's Viktor Ruban took men's individual gold and South Korea claimed men's team gold. The South Korean women's team set an Olympic record in the ranking round on day one of the Games. The next day they set a world record in their quarterfinals against Italy and also won the gold medal, stretching the South Korean women's Olympic domination to 20 years. The women's individual winner was Zhang Juanjuan of China, who took the gold by overcoming the top-three world-ranked archers.
Athens, 2004
A narrow 237-235 loss by the men's team to Ukraine in the bronze medal match and the women's team's loss to Greece in the first round prevented the United States from earning a medal in either the team or individual competition for only the second time since the sport's Olympic introduction in 1976. The men's and women's teams from South Korea each earned gold.
Sydney, 2000
The Sydney Games saw Australia win its first-ever Olympic medal in archery as Simon Fairweather edged American Vic Wunderle 113-106 in the men's individual final. Wunderle, Butch Johnson and Rod White clinched team bronze for the U.S.
Atlanta, 1996
In Atlanta, 21-year-old Justin Huish -- who sometimes practiced at home by shooting from across the street, up his driveway, and through his garage door toward a target in his backyard -- became an instant celebrity. Sporting a ponytail and backward baseball cap, the carefree Californian ranked No. 24 in the world won gold by beating Sweden's Magnus Petersson 112-107 in the final. The next day, Huish and the American men won the team competition, defeating South Korea.
Barcelona, 1992
Excluding the boycotted 1980 Games, Americans had accounted for the past four men's individual Olympic champions. But the U.S. run ended in Barcelona, where France's Sebastien Flute upset Chung Jae-Hun of South Korea to win gold. In fact, the American men didn't get near an archery podium at the 1992 Games; Jay Barrs finished a U.S.-best seventh individually, and the team placed sixth.
Seoul, 1988
American Jay Barrs, known for listening to heavy metal music between rounds, won the men's individual gold with a late surge on the final day of competition in Seoul, defeating South Korean Park Sung-Soo 338-336. Barrs also helped the USA men's squad to a silver in the debut of the team competition.
Los Angeles, 1984
At El Dorado Park in Long Beach, Calif., Darrell Pace obliterated the 1984 Olympic archery competition. He had the title wrapped up after the third of four days of shooting and was so confident he took a lunch break midway through the final day to meet the press. Teammate Rick McKinney won silver, 52 points back.
Montreal, 1976
In Montreal, the United States matched its Munich sweep of the archery gold medals when Darrell Pace set a world record en route to the men's title, and Luann Ryon, competing in her first international tournament, won the women's event.
Munich, 1972
Fifty-two years after its last appearance at the 1920 Games, archery returned to the Olympics with men's and women's individual events. U.S. men entered Munich having won every individual world title since 1967 and every team championship since 1957. Reigning world champion John Williams, an 18-year-old army private, won the gold, setting a world record for total score and a single-round world record despite once completely missing the target. Doreen Wilber, 42, a housewife from Jefferson, Iowa, scored an upset by winning gold in Munich. No American woman had won a world crown since 1962. Wilber set a world record in the process and became the second-oldest woman to win an Olympic archery event.
Antwerp, 1920
After the 1912 Olympic program didn't include archery, and the 1916 Games were canceled, the sport was brought back in 1920 because of great Belgian interest. However, only three countries participated - Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The host country dominated, with Hubert van Innis, 54, raising his career total to six golds and three silvers. Van Innis' victories came in events that involved shooting at a bird-shaped target on poles. These events were discontinued after 1920.
London, 1908
Charlotte "Lottie" Dod, sister of men's gold medalist William Dod placed second in London to British teammate Sybil "Queenie" Newall in the National Round. Dod, an accomplished athlete, previously had won five Wimbledon singles titles in the late 1800s, a British Ladies golf crown and a place on the national field hockey team. She also was a national-caliber figure skater and once sledded down Switzerland's famed Cresta Run. William Dod, who was born to a wealthy family and never worked or attended school, won the York Round competition on his 41st birthday. The British newcomer had not taken an interest in the sport until after he turned 39. Two days later, when his sister Lottie took silver in archery, the Dods became the first brother and sister Olympic medalists.
St. Louis, 1904
The archery program was expanded in 1904 to include three women's events. As with several other sports at the St. Louis Games, only Americans competed. In the women's competition, Lida Howell won three gold medals.

Archery lost one of its true legends in the sudden passing of five-time Olympic archer and Atlanta 1996 team gold medalist Richard Andrew “Butch” Johnson. Johnson was 68 years old.
Johnson was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1955. During his archery career Johnson competed in five consecutive Summer Olympic Games, beginning in Barcelona in 1992 until Beijing in 2008. During his archery career Johnson won Team Gold in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and Bronze in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, in addition to Team Gold in the 1999 Winnipeg, Team Gold in the 2007 Rio de Janeiro, Individual 70-meter Silver in the Mar Del Plata and Individual Bronze in the 1995 Mar del Plata Pan American Games, and a 1999 Team Recurve Bronze in the 1999 World Championships.
His best individual finish was 11th place in 1996, when he also combined with Justin Huish and Rod White to deliver the USA’s only recurve men’s Olympic team gold medal to date. A converted compound archer, Johnson was known for his unorthodox and analytical approach to his equipment, and for anchoring the U.S. international team for more than two decades.
Tom Dielen, World Archery Secretary General, said “Butch was an icon in the sport, matching a unique technique approach with elite success and unrivalled longevity as the USA Archery’s most-capped Olympian.
“His impact went beyond the shooting line to the many archers he coached and mentored. My condolences go to his wife, Teresa, his family and the archery community in the USA.”

U.S. archers have competed in every Olympic event since the sport’s second appearance in 1904, and every Paralympic event since those Games began in 1960.
The Olympic Games has competition for men’s and women’s individual and team events, while the mixed team event was added to the program in 2020. The Paralympic Games has men’s and women’s individual competition and the mixed team event for recurve open, compound open and W1 classes.
Butch Johnson is among Team USA’s most experienced Olympic archers, competing in five Olympic Games between 1992 and 2008.

By Rey O’Neal
The first Olympic athlete from the Caribbean to win an Olympic medal while representing his own country was the Haitian long jumper, Silvio Cator, who won a silver at the 1928 Games.
However the British sprinter, Harry Edward, who was born in British Guiana – now Guyana – had mounted the victory stand twice in 1920, winning bronze medals in both the 100 and 200 metre dashes. He would be followed eight years later by another Guyanese sprinter, Jack London, who won a silver medal in the 100 metres and a bronze in the 4×100 metre relay for Great Britain.

The National Field Archery Association has chosen Olympic Archery Gold Medalist and Professional Bowhunter, Rod White of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, to the position of Bowhunting and Event Coordinator. Rod will assist both the NFAA and the Archery Trade Association in the development of new and existing programs, targeted to increase the number of bowhunters across the country. Working directly with the 49 state organizations, 500 plus NFAA clubs, and affiliated retailers, he will promote bowhunting and grow the NFAA membership base at a grassroots level. In addition, he will be assisting in providing valuable and relevant content to the organization's growing social media platforms, attracting new archers to the sport of bowhunting as well as target archery.
White's background includes participation in virtually all forms of target archery at a pro level for more than 23 years. At an early age, he launched his shooting career on multiple podium platforms in both national and international world championships. In 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia, White fired the last three arrows for the Men's Olympic Team, capturing Olympic Gold for the United States. Immediately after, White began his professional outfitting and guiding career throughout Montana, New Mexico, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, and Minnesota. Primarily focusing on whitetail deer, he also guided for elk, mule deer, black bear, antelope, and mountain lion.
Continuing his target career while maintaining his guiding and outfitting businesses, White participated in the Olympic Games again in Sydney, Australia, winning a Bronze Medal with his team. He then focused his competitive drive with a compound bow, rather than with the Olympic style recurve bow, and found success at the professional level within organizations like the National Field Archery Association, the Archery Shooters Association, the International Bowhunting Organization, the ESPN Great Outdoor Games, and the Buckmasters tournament series.
During this time, White worked for Mathews, Inc. of Sparta, Wisconsin, developing the National Archery In The Schools Program (NASP). He worked directly with Kentucky's Department of Fish and Wildlife Services and the Department of Education, to assist in the writing of the curriculums that were used to implement the programs. As one of the founding members of the program, White's duties included implementing the NASP program in a total of 33 different states by training Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation agents and officers who would certify participating teachers in the pilot programs.
White continued his involvement in growing the sport by helping retailers engage with the NASP program, and soon found himself working directly with big-box stores like Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops, and Gander Mountain. Appearing at dozens grand openings yearly, conducting bowhunting and product-based seminars in stores, and hosting multiple hunting television shows, White introduced archery to already outdoor-driven consumers who otherwise were not already engaged in bowhunting or bowfishing activities. His outfitting and guiding businesses rapidly turned into a specialized land management and habitat enhancement company, consulting for several large landowners in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Kansas. In total, he was managing in excess of 8000 acres across all states annually for world-class, free-ranging whitetails. White's land management clients collectively harvested 14 Boone and Crockett class Whitetails with 4 bucks exceeding the coveted 200 inch mark. His personal hunting accomplishments include harvesting nearly 60 Pope and Young class whitetails including 9 Boone and Crockett caliber deer and 2 in excess of 200 inches, nearly all but 4 with a bow. Other record class species in White's personal trophy room include Elk, Mule Deer, Antelope, Black Bear, and Mountain Lion.
His responsibilities at the NFAA will now include acting as the bowhunting liaison between state organizations, local clubs, and NFAA Headquarters, in addition to promoting the ATA's Explore Bowhunting and Bowfishing programs. White will also work with marketing staff on the development and distribution of marketing materials through online content including bowhunting content, blog posts, social media, and online seminars and courses. We are excited to have him on our team and look forward to working together to grow archery.

Here are some of the 'Oldest and Youngest' competitors at the Summer Olympic Games. See also our list of the oldest living Olympians, and the Oldest and Youngest at the Winter Olympics.
Oldest Male Competitor
The oldest ever Olympian is Oscar Swahn of Sweden. He was 72 years, 281 days old when he competed at the 1920 Olympics in shooting. He also qualified for the 1924 Olympics but withdrew without competing.
other old competitors
Arthur von Pongracz of Austria also competed at age 72 in Dressage in 1936, becoming one of the oldest ever competitors at the Olympics. Arthur von Pongracz was born June 25, 1864 and competed on August 12 and 13, 1936, so he was 72 years and 49 days old.
Equestrian rider Hiroshi Hoketsu is the oldest Japanese Olympic representative, competing in 2012 at age 71. In 2012 he finished 40th in the individual dressage event. Hoketsu first took part in the Olympics in 1964, qualified in 1988 (but did not compete as his horse was quarantined), and also competed in 2008. In 2021, he was still competing for a spot on the Japanese team for the Tokyo Olympics. If he was successful, he would have overtaken Swahn to become the oldest ever Olympic athlete at 80 years old.
Louis, Count du Douet de Graville (69 years, 95 days) competed in Equestrian at the 1900 Olympics. He was born February 27, 1831, and competed on June 2, 1900.
If you include the art competitions (and some people do) and deceased people, then the oldest Olympic participant may be USA artist Winslow Homer who was a participant in the painting category at the 1932 Summer Games. He actually died in 1910, but if he was still alive he would have been 96 years, 157 days old when he competed. He was listed as "hors concours", by one definition means engaged in a contest but not competing for a prize. Someone who was alive when they competed in the art competition, British graphic artist John Copley won the Silver medal for his design "Polo Player" in 1948, just about a month before his 74th birthday.
Oldest Male Gold Medalist
Oscar Swahn won a gold medal for shooting at the 1912 Olympics, when he was 64 years and 280 days old. At the time of his win, Swahn was 9 months older than Galen Spencer had been when he won his gold medal in 1904.
Other old gold medalists
Galen Carter Spencer was an American who competed in archery at the 1904 Summer Olympics. He won the gold medal in the team competition. He was born September 19, 1840, and competed on September 19, 1904, which means he competed on his 64th birthday.
Jerry Millner (born July 5, 1847) was a British shooter who represented Great Britain and Ireland at the 1908 Summer Olympics. He won a gold medal in the Free rifle at 1000 yards. At the time he was 61 years and 4 days old.
Oldest Male Medalist
The oldest male Olympic medalist is genarally considered to be Swedish shooter Oscar Swahn. He won a silver medal in 1920 when he was 72 years, 281 days old. Overall Swahn won six medals in a shooting event called "running deer" in appearances at the 1908, 1912, and 1920 Games. However, there is an older medalist from the little known art competitions that ran from 1912 to 1948. In the final year that these events were held, British graphic artist John Copley was awarded the silver medal for his design "Polo Player" just about a month before his 74th birthday. This makes him officially the oldest Olympic medalists ever.
Oldest Female Competitor
The oldest woman to compete in the Olympics was British rider Lorna Johnstone, who participated in Equestrian at the 1972 Olympic Games at 70 years and 5 days old. Another equestrian athlete, 66 years old Mary Hanna from Australia, became the second-oldest female Olympian when she competed at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Hanna is back in Paris as a reserve team member for Australia, but is not expected to compete.
Oldest Female Medalist
Lida Peyton "Eliza" Pollock from the USA competed in the 1904 Olympic Games archery competition. She won bronze in the Women's Double Columbia and National Rounds and as part of the women's Team Round she won a gold medal. She was aged 63 years and 333 days when she won gold.
Oldest Female Gold Medalist
Lida Peyton "Eliza" Pollock won gold aged 63 years and 333 days as part of the women's archery Team Round, though that as part of a team event. The oldest woman ever to win an Olympic gold medal in an individual event was British archery winner Sybil “Queenie” Newall who won gold in the Double National Round in 1908, aged 53 years, 275 days.
Youngest Male Medalists
If you discount the young coxain who won gold in 1900, the youngest confirmed Olympic medalist is Greek gymnast Dimitrios Loundras (born on September 4, 1885), who competed in the 1896 Athens Olympics. He was only 10 years old. He received a bronze medal in a team event (on 9 April 1896) at 10 years 218 days. The youngest male medalist in an individual event was Nils Skoglund of Sweden, who finished second in the High Diving, 1920 at age 14 yrs, 11 days.
Youngest Male Gold Medalist
There is speculation that a young boy from Paris was coxswain in the winning Dutch pair oars boat in the 1900 rowing event. Before they raced in the Final, their regular coxswain Hermanus Brockmann was determined to be too heavy at 60kg, so he was replaced by this boy. The boy's name or age has never been determined. Only a photograph exists, showing him with his two oarsmen Françoise Brandt and Roelof Klein - he may have been as young as seven. It is not sure which of the coxswain was given the Gold medal. The youngest confirmed male gold medalist is the German Klaus Zerta who was 13 years, 283 days when he competed as the coxain in the Men's Coxed Pairs, in 1960. The youngest male gold medalist in an individual event was Kusuo Kitamura of Japan, who won the 1500-m Freestyle swimming event in 1932 aged 14 yrs, 309 days.
Youngest Male Competitor
The youngest documented Olympian is 10 year old Greek gymnast Dimitrios Loundras, but there may have been a younger competitor, the young boy of unknown age from Paris who was the substitute coxswain in the winning Dutch pair oars boat in the 1900 rowing event.
Youngest Female Medalist
There were three young Italian gymnasts Luigina Giavotti, Ines Vercesi and Carla Marangoni, who competed in 1928 in the women's team allround event, winning a silver medal.

Archery lost one of its true legends in the sudden passing of five-time Olympic archer and Atlanta 1996 team gold medalist Richard Andrew “Butch” Johnson. Johnson was 68 years old.
Johnson was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1955. During his archery career Johnson competed in five consecutive Summer Olympic Games, beginning in Barcelona in 1992 until Beijing in 2008. During his archery career Johnson won Team Gold in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and Bronze in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, in addition to Team Gold in the 1999 Winnipeg, Team Gold in the 2007 Rio de Janeiro, Individual 70-meter Silver in the Mar Del Plata and Individual Bronze in the 1995 Mar del Plata Pan American Games, and a 1999 Team Recurve Bronze in the 1999 World Championships.
His best individual finish was 11th place in 1996, when he also combined with Justin Huish and Rod White to deliver the USA’s only recurve men’s Olympic team gold medal to date. A converted compound archer, Johnson was known for his unorthodox and analytical approach to his equipment, and for anchoring the U.S. international team for more than two decades.
Tom Dielen, World Archery Secretary General, said “Butch was an icon in the sport, matching a unique technique approach with elite success and unrivalled longevity as the USA Archery’s most-capped Olympian.
“His impact went beyond the shooting line to the many archers he coached and mentored. My condolences go to his wife, Teresa, his family and the archery community in the USA.”

The 2024 Paris Olympics saw athletes from around the world represent their respective countries.
At the opening and closing ceremonies for each Olympic Games, certain athletes are given the honor of bearing their country's flag. The first U.S. flag bearer recognized by the Olympic committee was Ralph Rose, in the 1908 Summer Olympic Opening Ceremony.
Here's a list of the U.S. Olympic flag bearers with noteworthy NCAA careers including highlights from their respective colleges.
Morgan Taylor (1932)| Grinnell College
Morgan Taylor attended Grinnell College, a Division IIII university, where he played football and ran track before turning to Men's Track & Field as an Olympic athlete.

The U.S. team going for the 2022 Winter Olympics has Alysa Liu, aged 16, as its youngest participant. Alysa joins other young and super talented athletes from across the world who left their mark in the history of the Olympics, some as young as age 10.
Indeed, did you know that the International Olympic Committee places no age limit for athletes taking part in the Olympic Games? This philosophy aims to encourage athletes of all ages to showcase their talent as they compete against their peers or much older participants.
When it comes to past U.S. Olympic team lineups, dozens of teens made tremendous accomplishments in so little time. We’re here today to explore eight of them below.
8. Francine Fox

A young Francine Fox took part in and completed spring canoeing in the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics. Fox and her partner, Glorianne Perrier, paddled to a silver medal in the K-2500 m events. They were just two seconds away from the winning pair who represented Germany.
Francine Fox’s career as a kayak champion was short, but highly successful. She was much younger than her partner, Glorianne Perrier, who was 20 years older . The duo won the U.S. title from 1963 to 1965.
Did You Know?
Following her 1964 win, Francine received invitations to foreign countries and was a White House guest of then-U.S. President, Lyndon B. Johnson.
7. Kerri Strug

Many of us remember Kerri Strug as a member of the Magnificent Seven that won Gold in the 1996 Summer Olympics, but the young gymnast started her Olympic career much earlier.
Indeed, in the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics, Kerri Strug won a bronze medal to kickstart her vault specialist fame.
Even before the Olympics, Kerry Strug had earned two silver medals in the 1991 and 1994 World Championships, and secured a bronze medal for her team in the 1995 Sabae World Championships.
Did You Know?
Kerri’s sporting career is dotted with weight loss struggles and numerous injuries. In 1994, Kerri lost her balance and landed in a twisted position while performing her uneven bars set. She was carried away on a stretcher, sustaining back injuries. Still, Kerri underwent intensive treatment and recovery, making it back in time for the 1994 World Championships.
6. Dominique Moceanu

Team USA’s Magnificent Seven was a force to reckon with in the 1996 U.S. Women’s gymnastics Olympics competition. These hometown darlings won their first team Gold in Olympic history, beating their Romanian and Russian rivals.
This team’s youngest member was Dominque Moceanu, a 14-year-old Romanian American from Hollywood, California. The win saw the Moceanu featured on the Wheaties Box.
Before the Olympics, Dominique Moceanu had attained the world record for the youngest gymnast ever to win a gold medal at the Junior National Championships. She earned this title when she was 10, and to date, it still stands.
Did You Know?
Now a retired gymnast, Moceanu is a renowned author, philanthropist, and media personality. She advocates for ending abuse in gymnastics – notably, she praised young gymnast, Simone Biles, for putting her mental health before her career.
5. Denise Parker

Denise Parker represented the United States in the 1988 Seoul Olympics female archery competitions. She won bronze for her American squad, and came in 21st place in the individual events. Denise would later excel in the sport, appearing in the 1987, 1991, and 1999 Pan American Games.
Apart from the single bronze that Denise Parker won at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, she is the proud winner of five gold medals secured from the Pan American Games between 1987 and 1999. These were wins of an individual and team capacity. For this, Denise was the best female archer for 13 years in a row in the 20th century.
Did You Know?
Even though Denise has a recurve and a compound as proof of her decades of achievements in archery, her two boys show no interest in the sport.
4. Marjorie Gestring

In the 1936 Berlin Olympics, teenager Marjorie Gestring was part of the U.S. women’s diving team that won a gold medal. In the same competition, Gestring won the 3-meter springboard diving event. She was only 13 years old.
After the two subsequent Olympic tournaments were canceled in light of World War II, Gestring continued to compete on a national level. She won and retained the U.S. National Women’s High Diving Champion in 1939 and 1940. Likewise, Gestring defended and kept her 3-meter springboard diving title in that same year.
Did You Know?
In 1948, Marjorie Gestring was inducted into the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame and the International Swimming Hall of Fame. And, even though there were no Olympic competitions in 1940 and 1944, Marjorie was awarded a gold medal.
In spite of this, Gestring came in fourth place in the 1948 Summer Olympics qualifiers, missing her slot on the national team.
3. Donna Elizabeth de Varona

Imagine qualifying for the U.S. Olympic swimming team and winning Gold in your first ever Olympic competition when you are only 13 years old. Donna Elizabeth understands the feeling all too well!
This daring swimmer was part of the U.S. team’s 4 x 100-meter freestyle relay in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.
After a successful swimming career that saw her featured in leading magazines, such as Look and Life and Sports Illustrated, Donna opted for a career in sports broadcasting.
Did You Know?
At the time Donna won her first Gold in the 4 x 100-meter freestyle relay, she was the reigning world record holder for the 400-meter individual medley. However, her reign was never featured in the Olympic records until 1964, when this event was added to the calendar.
2. William Horton, Jr. 13

The Olympic U.S. sailing team consists of top sailors that qualify at the World Championship. For 13-year-old William Horton Jr. to be eligible at such a tender age was quite an achievement!
Horton Jr. took part in the 1952 Helsinki Summer Olympics under the Dragon Event. Here, at least 51 sailors using 17 boats represented their 17 countries. Horton Jr. was a crew member of the Skidoo.
Did You Know?
In the 1952 Helsinki Summer Olympics, Horton Jr. sailed alongside his father and sister. Even though he failed to secure a medal, the U.S. team won most gold and overall medals
1. Dorothy Poynton-Hill

Dorothy Poynton is the youngest U.S. Olympian of all time. She was barely 13 years old when she won silver for springboard diving in the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics.
This achievement was only the beginning of Poynton’s career. Four years later, she won her first Gold. By the time she retired from competing, she had two more medals – gold and bronze – to her name.
Apart from the Olympics, Dorothy Poynton was in numerous TV commercials. She even won seven AAU titles. Later, she retired and started an Aquatic Club in Los Angeles, where she taught swimming and diving.

Tokyo, 2020
Turkey's Mete Gazoz, who didn't have any great results in world championships or the Olympics before Tokyo, won gold at the 2020 Games. He beat Italy's Mauro Nespoli, who claimed silver, while Furukawa Takaharu (JPN) bested Chinese Taipei's Tang Chih-Chun in the bronze-medal match. An San (KOR), who made her Olympic debut at age 20 at the Tokyo Games, won gold in the women's competition. Russia's Elena Osipova claimed silver and Italy's Lucilla Boari the bronze. In the men's team tournament, South Kora won gold, Chinese Tapei earned silver and Japan was awarded bronze. For the women's team tournament, South Korea won gold, Russia took silver and Germany left with bronze. The mixed teams event made its debut at the Tokyo Olympics. South Korea continued its dominance in the sport by winning gold, the Netherlands earned silver and Mexico took home the bronze medal.
Rio, 2016
Korea continued its dominance in archery at the Rio Olympics: all four gold medals (and one bronze) went to Korean athletes. Ku Bon-Chan won the men's individual competition and Chang Hye-Jin won the women's. The U.S. left with a silver medal in the men's team event and Brady Ellison took bronze in the men's individual competition. South Korea's four gold medals made archery the country's most successful Olympic sport, overtaking short-track speed skating at the Olympic Winter Games.
London, 2012
The set system debuted in the men's and women's individual competition. Oh Jin-Hyek of South Korea took gold in the men's individual final defeating Japan's Takaharu Furukawa 7-1. Italy won the men's team event by defeating the United States team of Brady Ellison, Jake Kaminski and Jacob Wukie 219-218. South Korea added to its archery medal count in the women's events as Ki Bo-Bae won the individual event and South Korea's women's team won gold. The Mexican duo of Aida Roman and Mariana Avitia recorded silver and bronze respectively in the women's individual event while American Khatuna Lorig finished fourth.
Beijing, 2008
Ukraine's Viktor Ruban took men's individual gold and South Korea claimed men's team gold. The South Korean women's team set an Olympic record in the ranking round on day one of the Games. The next day they set a world record in their quarterfinals against Italy and also won the gold medal, stretching the South Korean women's Olympic domination to 20 years. The women's individual winner was Zhang Juanjuan of China, who took the gold by overcoming the top-three world-ranked archers.
Athens, 2004
A narrow 237-235 loss by the men's team to Ukraine in the bronze medal match and the women's team's loss to Greece in the first round prevented the United States from earning a medal in either the team or individual competition for only the second time since the sport's Olympic introduction in 1976. The men's and women's teams from South Korea each earned gold.
Sydney, 2000
The Sydney Games saw Australia win its first-ever Olympic medal in archery as Simon Fairweather edged American Vic Wunderle 113-106 in the men's individual final. Wunderle, Butch Johnson and Rod White clinched team bronze for the U.S.
Atlanta, 1996
In Atlanta, 21-year-old Justin Huish -- who sometimes practiced at home by shooting from across the street, up his driveway, and through his garage door toward a target in his backyard -- became an instant celebrity. Sporting a ponytail and backward baseball cap, the carefree Californian ranked No. 24 in the world won gold by beating Sweden's Magnus Petersson 112-107 in the final. The next day, Huish and the American men won the team competition, defeating South Korea.
Barcelona, 1992
Excluding the boycotted 1980 Games, Americans had accounted for the past four men's individual Olympic champions. But the U.S. run ended in Barcelona, where France's Sebastien Flute upset Chung Jae-Hun of South Korea to win gold. In fact, the American men didn't get near an archery podium at the 1992 Games; Jay Barrs finished a U.S.-best seventh individually, and the team placed sixth.
Seoul, 1988
American Jay Barrs, known for listening to heavy metal music between rounds, won the men's individual gold with a late surge on the final day of competition in Seoul, defeating South Korean Park Sung-Soo 338-336. Barrs also helped the USA men's squad to a silver in the debut of the team competition.
Los Angeles, 1984
At El Dorado Park in Long Beach, Calif., Darrell Pace obliterated the 1984 Olympic archery competition. He had the title wrapped up after the third of four days of shooting and was so confident he took a lunch break midway through the final day to meet the press. Teammate Rick McKinney won silver, 52 points back.
Montreal, 1976
In Montreal, the United States matched its Munich sweep of the archery gold medals when Darrell Pace set a world record en route to the men's title, and Luann Ryon, competing in her first international tournament, won the women's event.
Munich, 1972
Fifty-two years after its last appearance at the 1920 Games, archery returned to the Olympics with men's and women's individual events. U.S. men entered Munich having won every individual world title since 1967 and every team championship since 1957. Reigning world champion John Williams, an 18-year-old army private, won the gold, setting a world record for total score and a single-round world record despite once completely missing the target. Doreen Wilber, 42, a housewife from Jefferson, Iowa, scored an upset by winning gold in Munich. No American woman had won a world crown since 1962. Wilber set a world record in the process and became the second-oldest woman to win an Olympic archery event.
Antwerp, 1920
After the 1912 Olympic program didn't include archery, and the 1916 Games were canceled, the sport was brought back in 1920 because of great Belgian interest. However, only three countries participated - Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The host country dominated, with Hubert van Innis, 54, raising his career total to six golds and three silvers. Van Innis' victories came in events that involved shooting at a bird-shaped target on poles. These events were discontinued after 1920.
London, 1908
Charlotte "Lottie" Dod, sister of men's gold medalist William Dod placed second in London to British teammate Sybil "Queenie" Newall in the National Round. Dod, an accomplished athlete, previously had won five Wimbledon singles titles in the late 1800s, a British Ladies golf crown and a place on the national field hockey team. She also was a national-caliber figure skater and once sledded down Switzerland's famed Cresta Run. William Dod, who was born to a wealthy family and never worked or attended school, won the York Round competition on his 41st birthday. The British newcomer had not taken an interest in the sport until after he turned 39. Two days later, when his sister Lottie took silver in archery, the Dods became the first brother and sister Olympic medalists.
St. Louis, 1904
The archery program was expanded in 1904 to include three women's events. As with several other sports at the St. Louis Games, only Americans competed. In the women's competition, Lida Howell won three gold medals.

Geena Davis has played several adventurous, physically demanding roles over the course of her acting career — baseball catcher, pirate queen, sleeper super-spy among them. But her greatest athletic challenge came in her personal life, when she became an Olympic-caliber archery champion at age 41.
It all started as an unlikely notion, Davis, now 63, tells PEOPLE, when she was watching the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta and became fascinated with the sport of archery, where American Justin Huish won two gold medals.
“They had a lot of coverage of archery because America was winning all the gold medals, And I was like Wow!” Davis remembers in this week’s issue, explaining that it appealed to her performative side. (The actress had already won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for 1988’s The Accidental Tourist.) “It’s very dramatic and beautiful and just thought casually, ‘I wonder if I’d be good at that?’” she says.
Finding a sport to excel at had already been percolating in Davis’ mind: though the 6’0” actress had little previous athletic experience beyond high jumping and hurdles on her high school track team. But her film career had revealed she had an affinity for physical disciplines.
“I had learned sports for a number of movies: I had to learn how to play baseball, and then I had to learn fencing, and TaeKwonDo, and horseback riding, and ice skating and all kinds of stuff,” she says. “And I never thought of myself as athletic, but I was actually really good at everything.”
For more about Davis, pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE.
“And so I thought ‘I want to take up a sport in the real-life way and not the movie version, because they can fake anything,” she chuckles. “Like my character in A League of Their Own only hit home runs, so I would do a nice swing, but the props guys had a giant slingshot to send the ball over the fence with. So I thought, ‘I want to see if I can really learn something real.’”
By 1997, Davis threw herself into archery. “I found a coach and became utterly obsessed,” she says. “Yeah, I took it up at 41 and it became my life for a couple of years.” Indeed, she was soon practicing five hours a day, six days a week — and after just six months of training she became the surprise winner of a string of local, national and international tournaments.
After just two years she’d become so proficient that she vied with 300 other women vying for a spot on the U.S. Olympic archery team in hopes of competing at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Her 24th place finish fell just short of qualifying her for the Olympic team, but she did score a wild card berth at the Sydney International Golden Arrow competition in 1999.
Today, Davis reveals that she still picks up the bow and arrow regularly, “but just for fun. I haven’t been competing lately.” Much of current time is filled with her acting career and her leadership of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender In Media, which conducts groundbreaking studies on the visibility of women and girls in film and television; the data her team has uncovered has played a vital role in improving the onscreen visibility of women in recent years.
She’s seen a unexpected connection with her sport of choice and the importance of women and girls seeing themselves represented in the media. In 2012, her archery coach called her to reveal he’d noticed a sudden, surprising uptick in the amount if young women taking up the sport after years of lackluster recruitment.
“Girls was always way at the bottom, and suddenly the line shot straight up and became the most populated category of men, women, boys and girls,” she remembers “And that was the year The Hunger Games and Brave came out. Girls left the theater and bought a bow. It was absolutely instant…but that’s the kind of impact that images can have.”
With her stint as a champion archer, winning an Oscar, becoming a member of MENSA and broadening Hollywood’s depiction of women, Davis has displayed an extraordinary knack for achieving challenging goals. So does she have the next big challenge in mind?
“Ah, what if I announced something right now?” she laughs. She recalls that during her stint playing the first female president on the TV series Commander In Chief, the show’s creator suggested that, in keeping with common presidential tradition, that her character indulge in a sport unique to her.
“And I immediately, for some reason, thought of rowing, that I could be rowing on the Potomac,” And he said ‘Great — learn that!’ And it turned out that I was kind of good at it. So I’m wondering how old is too old to get in the Olympics in rowing?”

|
Geena Davis has played several adventurous, physically demanding roles over the course of her acting career — baseball catcher, pirate queen, sleeper super-spy among them. But her greatest athletic challenge came in her personal life, when she became an Olympic-caliber archery champion at age 41.
It all started as an unlikely notion, Davis, now 63, tells PEOPLE, when she was watching the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta and became fascinated with the sport of archery, where American Justin Huish won two gold medals.
“They had a lot of coverage of archery because America was winning all the gold medals, And I was like Wow!” Davis remembers in this week’s issue, explaining that it appealed to her performative side. (The actress had already won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for 1988’s The Accidental Tourist.) “It’s very dramatic and beautiful and just thought casually, ‘I wonder if I’d be good at that?’” she says.
Finding a sport to excel at had already been percolating in Davis’ mind: though the 6’0” actress had little previous athletic experience beyond high jumping and hurdles on her high school track team. But her film career had revealed she had an affinity for physical disciplines.
“I had learned sports for a number of movies: I had to learn how to play baseball, and then I had to learn fencing, and TaeKwonDo, and horseback riding, and ice skating and all kinds of stuff,” she says. “And I never thought of myself as athletic, but I was actually really good at everything.”
For more about Davis, pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE.
“And so I thought ‘I want to take up a sport in the real-life way and not the movie version, because they can fake anything,” she chuckles. “Like my character in A League of Their Own only hit home runs, so I would do a nice swing, but the props guys had a giant slingshot to send the ball over the fence with. So I thought, ‘I want to see if I can really learn something real.’”
By 1997, Davis threw herself into archery. “I found a coach and became utterly obsessed,” she says. “Yeah, I took it up at 41 and it became my life for a couple of years.” Indeed, she was soon practicing five hours a day, six days a week — and after just six months of training she became the surprise winner of a string of local, national and international tournaments.
After just two years she’d become so proficient that she vied with 300 other women vying for a spot on the U.S. Olympic archery team in hopes of competing at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Her 24th place finish fell just short of qualifying her for the Olympic team, but she did score a wild card berth at the Sydney International Golden Arrow competition in 1999.
Today, Davis reveals that she still picks up the bow and arrow regularly, “but just for fun. I haven’t been competing lately.” Much of current time is filled with her acting career and her leadership of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender In Media, which conducts groundbreaking studies on the visibility of women and girls in film and television; the data her team has uncovered has played a vital role in improving the onscreen visibility of women in recent years.
She’s seen a unexpected connection with her sport of choice and the importance of women and girls seeing themselves represented in the media. In 2012, her archery coach called her to reveal he’d noticed a sudden, surprising uptick in the amount if young women taking up the sport after years of lackluster recruitment.
“Girls was always way at the bottom, and suddenly the line shot straight up and became the most populated category of men, women, boys and girls,” she remembers “And that was the year The Hunger Games and Brave came out. Girls left the theater and bought a bow. It was absolutely instant…but that’s the kind of impact that images can have.”
With her stint as a champion archer, winning an Oscar, becoming a member of MENSA and broadening Hollywood’s depiction of women, Davis has displayed an extraordinary knack for achieving challenging goals. So does she have the next big challenge in mind?
“Ah, what if I announced something right now?” she laughs. She recalls that during her stint playing the first female president on the TV series Commander In Chief, the show’s creator suggested that, in keeping with common presidential tradition, that her character indulge in a sport unique to her.
“And I immediately, for some reason, thought of rowing, that I could be rowing on the Potomac,” And he said ‘Great — learn that!’ And it turned out that I was kind of good at it. So I’m wondering how old is too old to get in the Olympics in rowing?”

Three-time Olympic medalist Brady Ellison and world No. 1 Casey Kaufhold won the U.S. Olympic Archery Trials and in Paris can become the first Americans to win an Olympic title in the sport since 1996.
Catalina GNoriega and Jennifer Mucino-Fernandez also made the team on the women’s side by finishing second and third at trials.
Trenton Cowles and Jack Williams, the second and third men at trials, will compete in Paris if the U.S. qualifies two more quota spots later this spring.
Five athletes also qualified for the Paris Paralympics at trials: 2012 silver medalist Matt Stutzman, Tracy Otto, KJ Polish, Eric Bennett and Jordan White, a 15-year-old who became the youngest U.S. archer to ever qualify for a Paralympics, according to the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee.
Ellison, 35, is set to tie the American archery record by competing in a fifth Olympics.
He took men’s team silver medals in 2012 and 2016, plus individual bronze in 2016.
Ellison entered the Tokyo Games ranked No. 1 in the world and lost in the quarterfinals to eventual gold medalist Mete Gazoz of Turkiye. He is now ranked No. 2 in the world behind Marcus D’Almeida of Brazil.
Kaufhold, 20, made her second Olympic team. In Tokyo, she was the youngest female archer from any country, plus the youngest U.S. Olympic archer since the 1988 Seoul Games, according to the OlyMADMen.
Kaufhold was eliminated in the round of 32 in her Olympic debut, then took silver at the world championships less than two months later.
Then last summer, Kaufhold became the first U.S. woman to claim the No. 1 world ranking since the rankings were created in 2001.
Ellison and Kaufhold could compete together in Paris in the mixed-gender team event, where each qualified nation fields one man and one woman.
The last time the U.S. won Olympic archery gold was at the 1996 Atlanta Games. Justin Huish, a ponytailed, backwards-cap wearing phenom, swept individual and team titles.
Huish, now 49 years old, competed at the trials for Paris and was eliminated before the final stage.

Archery’s history at the Olympic Games is split into two periods: the early era and the modern era.
The sport featured on the programme of the Olympic Games in 1900, 1904, 1908 and 1920 during the early era. It was also one of the first sports to feature women’s events, in 1904. The competition formats were inconsistent, often based on local rules, and archery was subsequently dropped from the programme. World Archery was founded in 1931 with the goal of rejoining the Games.
Archery returned to the Olympic Games in 1972 and has remained on the programme ever since. During this modern era, the competition format has evolved toward exciting, easily accessible and broadcast-friendly head-to-head matchplay. Two gold medals, for the individual events, were awarded from 1972 to 1984; team events were added in 1988. The mixed team event was added for 2020, bringing the total number of Olympic Champion titles available in the archery competitions to five.
Currently, 64 men and 64 women compete in target archery events with recurve bows at the Olympics. The reigning Olympic Champions are Korea's Ku Bonchan and Chang Hye Jin.
Since 2004, the archery competitions at the Olympic Games have often been held in iconic locations like the Panathinaikos Stadium (2004), Lord’s Cricket Ground (2012) and the Sambodromo (2016).
Current competition format
Archers at the Olympic Games use recurve bows and compete in the discipline of target archery.
The competition features individual, mixed team and team events. A mixed team consists of two archers, one man and one woman, shooting in the same category (with the same bow). A team consists of three archers of the same gender shooting in the same category (with the same bow).
Nations must qualify quota places. A maximum of 128 athletes can compete, 64 men and 64 women. Places are won at world qualifying events and continental qualifying events. A small number of places are assigned using the universality system, which ensures archery’s developing countries can participate and the competition field remains diverse. Each country can send a maximum of three men and three women to the Olympic Games.
Archers shoot over a distance of 70 metres at targets measuring 122 centimetres in diameter, aiming to hit a 10-ring measuring just 12.2 centimetres in diameter. The qualification phase of the competition, which consists of 72 arrows shot for total score, seeds the archers for the matchplay phase.
Archers and teams shoot in head-to-head brackets, in which the winner of each match advances and the loser is eliminated until a champion is crowned.

The 2024 Olympics are here.
The Olympics are being held in Paris for the third time ever and first time in a full century. Instead of the usual four-year wait between Summer Olympics, the Paris Games are commencing just three years after the Tokyo Games, which were pushed back from 2020 to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2024 Olympics will feature events at Paris landmarks, competitions between the world’s greatest athletes and around-the-clock coverage on NBC and Peacock.
As the clock counts down to the Opening Ceremony, here is a full guide to get you prepared for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
How to watch the 2024 Olympics in Paris
The 2024 Paris Olympics will go from July 26 to Aug. 11, 2024.
The Games will officially kick off with the Opening Ceremony on July 26, but several events begin before that. Handball, rugby and soccer matches were scheduled for July 24 and 25, and archery will also get going on July 25. Here's how to watch.
NBC and Peacock will present live Olympic events each morning and afternoon. Coverage will include the finals in highly anticipated events in track and field, swimming, gymnastics and more.
NBC will air at least nine hours of daytime coverage each day during the games. It will also deliver an enhanced, three-hour primetime show each night with behind-the-scenes access, new technology and insight from marquee athletes.
Peacock will stream every sport and event live throughout the Games, a first for the streaming service when it comes to the Summer Olympics.
USA Network, Golf Channel, CNBC, E!, Telemundo and Universo will also air event coverage throughout the Olympics.
What is the time difference between Paris and the U.S.?
With Paris six hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, American fans can expect the competition to begin around 3 a.m. ET and end around 6 p.m. ET each day.
Team USA medal count
Team USA may be red, white and blue, but at the Olympics, it takes home plenty of gold, silver and bronze.
The U.S. has won 2,629 Summer Olympics medals in its history: 1,061 gold, 830 silver and 738 bronze. It owns more gold medals than any other country has total medals.
Team USA has led the medal count at each Summer Olympics dating back to the 1996 Atlanta Games. Its dominance continued in Tokyo, as it led the pack in golds (39), silvers (41), bronzes (33) and total medals (113).
American athletes medaled in 25 sports and won gold in 14 of them. Swimming was Team USA’s top sport, as it won 30 medals in the pool. Athletics (26), wrestling (9), gymnastics (6) and shooting (6) were next on the list.
The U.S. women have been especially dominant. They won 58% of the country’s medals in Tokyo, marking the third straight Olympics in which U.S. women won more than half of Team USA’s medals.
Team USA Olympians in 2024 Olympics
Team USA is once again bringing a loaded group of nearly 600 athletes to the Olympics that includes gold medalists, up-and-comers and sporting icons.
Beginning in the pool, swimmer Caeleb Dressel won five gold medals — three individual and two relays — giving him the most medals of any U.S. competitor at the Tokyo Games. Katie Ledecky wasn’t far behind, earning two swimming golds, an individual silver and a relay silver. Ryan Murphy, Lilly King and Regan Smith each won three swimming medals and eight more swimmers won two medals in Tokyo.
In 2024, Dressel will compete in his third Olympics and Ledecky will continue to swim for history. Katie Grimes and Nic Fink are chasing their first Olympic medals, while Gretchen Walsh could make a splash as an Olympic newcomer.
Simone Biles entered the Tokyo Olympics as a four-time defending gold medalist for her performance at the 2016 Rio Games. Her time in Tokyo took a dramatic turn as she experienced the “twisties.” She later made a triumphant return and wound up earning two medals (one silver and one bronze).
Suni Lee stepped up for Team USA gymnastics in Tokyo en route to individual all-around gold. Her three medals (one gold, one silver and one bronze) were the most of any non-swimmer on Team USA.
Several Americans ran onto the scene on the track. Sydney McLaughlin took home two gold medals, Rai Benjamin got a gold and a silver, Fred Kerley landed silver in the men’s 100m, Kenny Bednarek got silver in the men’s 200m and Noah Lyles got his first taste of Olympic glory with bronze in the 200m. Lyles, Kerley and Bednarek will be among those competing for the title of “the world’s fastest man” in Paris.
The stars will also be out for Team USA on the court. The men’s basketball team has earned four straight Olympic golds, and it is getting a legendary boost in Paris. LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and more future Hall of Famers are teaming up this summer. The women’s basketball team, meanwhile, is chasing its eighth straight gold at the Olympics with WNBA champions A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart leading the way.
2024 Olympics sports
The 2024 Paris Olympics will feature 329 medal events across 32 sports.

The biggest Olympics ever held were hosted in North America in 1996. Tennis, track cycling, and archery were all competed in Stone Mountain Park, a beautiful location 15 miles outside of Atlanta. Olympic fans can buy Olympic Archery Tickets from our website.
Instead of its legacy of sporting prowess, the larger event is likely best remembered for its gaudy commercialization (which ultimately led to the rigorous branding laws still in place today), a few organizing missteps, and a terrorist attack.
But one of the biggest surprises in Olympic history was revealed at the archery competitions. The first qualification and quota system was implemented in Atlanta when 128 archers — 64 men and 64 women — were set as the maximum number. As a result, archery became one of the first Olympic sports to feature equal gender representation.
All 72 arrows in the qualifying round were shot at 70 meters, cutting the original round of 144. After qualifying, match play began in the competition. In the first three rounds, individual matches were decided by total scores over 18 arrows, while quarterfinals were decided by total scores over 12 arrows.
The top seeds were Italian Michele Frangilli and Ukrainian Lina Herasimenko. With 684 points, Frangilli set a new Olympic record and was considered the favorite. A San of Korea eventually won three gold medals in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, breaking Herasimenko’s astonishing record of 673 which had astonishingly stood as an Olympic record for 25 years.
Justin Huish, who barely made it onto the USA team as the third man, was one archer about whom nothing was anticipated. He was a 19-year-old man wearing wraparound sunglasses, a ponytail, earrings, and a reverse baseball cap. He resembled a skateboarder more than an archer.
Huish’s parents ran an archery business, but he had never exhibited much enthusiasm for it and had thought it was “boring” until he took up a bow at the age of 14 and discovered he was talented at it.
I could make the Olympic team eventually, [US coach] Lloyd Brown told me from one of the first few times I met him, he said in 2021. I simply made fun of him. Huish, who was coached by Brown, competed in the 1992 US Olympic trials but came in well behind schedule.
“I just never compared myself to Jay Barrs, Darrell Pace, and all the greats in that situation. At the moment, I just didn’t think I could ever defeat them,” he said. But I began to shoot the same numbers as those guys in 1993.
Huish relocated to Chula Vista in 1995 to pursue full-time training at the Olympic training facility, which had just established a residential program for archers. He claimed, “I didn’t know what I was doing with my life, so I filled out an application form. “I knew I wanted to shoot, but I still didn’t think it was possible to qualify for the Olympics.”
Rod White and Butch Johnson, two other residential athletes, as well as Huish, who at one point all shared a room, hunkered down and put in the work to win the national championships in 1996. The US team for the home Games in Atlanta would eventually be made up of the three guys.
The boisterous Californian adolescent grabbed media attention in the run-up to the Olympics, and Huish even made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
“I just didn’t want to lose that first match; the questions were about getting gold medals. The rest would just be gravy,” remembered Justin. One thing is making the Olympic team. However, how about actually succeeding at the foolish thing? No way, I mean! Olympic fans can buy Paris Olympic 2024 Tickets from our website.
The teenager qualified for the Stone Mountain qualifying round with a good ninth seed despite having no prior international success. Huish rushed into the men’s field and started to tear it apart with domestic support behind him. In the video of the event, you can see him gaining self-assurance with each battle and victory while being encouraged by the home fans.
The thought crossed my mind, ‘Hey, I’m an Olympian. Just for the experience, I’m here. In any case, I had already dramatically exceeded my expectations, so I think it helped to alleviate any pressure I was putting on myself. It simply had a national vibe, he remarked.
Out of all 10,300+ athletes competing in the Games, Huish had somehow, by some strange twist of fate, been given the number one as his athlete identity.
“Everything that occurred was exactly as intended. I had the impression that even if I had fired my arrow in the opposite way or behind the target, it would still have boomeranged back and struck the 10-ring. I felt as though I was perfect.
Huish defeated six opponents in a row before overcoming Sweden’s Magnus Peterson to win the gold medal in the last double shoot-off of the tournament. Fragile was the top seed and the fan favorite.
His entire universe just blew up.
Despite needing to get up at seven the following morning to cover the men’s team eliminations, Justin didn’t conclude the round of media interviews until it was three in the morning. (In 1996, on the final day of play, both the men’s and women’s team finals were shot.)
It was simply a frenzy, so I probably should have said, “No, I can’t do all these things. Huish admitted, “I didn’t know any better.
Even though Huish claims his teammates carried him through the first two matches while he was worn out, the US men’s team — composed of Justin, Rod, and Butch — rose to the occasion. He mustered the strength to eventually compete in the gold medal match against the Korean men.
Huish said, “When I needed to come through, I did.”
Although there was some nerve-racking measuring needed in the end, the three eventually defeated Korea by two points after shooting 251 points in all four rounds of match play in the then-27-arrow contests.
Although they also won back-to-back silver medals in the competition in 2012 and 2016, the US men’s team gold in Atlanta remains their only medal in the Games to date. As the first male archer to ever win both an individual and a team gold medal at the same Games, Huish made history. Unmatched until Ku Bonchan in 2016, it wouldn’t be. Huish is still the only non-Korean archer to win several gold medals at the same Olympics.
Atlanta was already home to many Korean ladies. Kim Kyung Wook won the individual gold, and the women’s team won the team competition for the third time in a row.
Huish was surrounded by a media frenzy that persisted for a while.
“Archery receives zero love in the US,” he remarked. They only really cover baseball, the NBA, and the NFL; they don’t cover any other sports.
“But because I wasn’t your stereotypical [archery] athlete and had the ponytail, hat on backward, and sunglasses, it carried over quite a bit into the mainstream media. Typically, USA Today’s fourth page might feature a mention of you. I received all the major interviews and was on the first page.
“I got to ride with Vice President Gore from the basketball game to the closing ceremony, go to a lot of things that would normally be left for the guy who wins the 100-meter dash,” the athlete said.
Up until 2000, when his career and life abruptly changed, Huish remained a member of the US squad. After being discovered selling marijuana, he withdrew from the Sydney Olympics and was later given a four-month prison sentence and a two-year suspension from the sport.
After almost 20 years, Huish returned to competitive recurve archery, making his way up the ranks and around the US circuit. He hasn’t yet ruled out competing in a potential second Game. For many people, the Olympic rings represent the summit of a mountain. Some people have been training since they were four years old and have devoted their entire lives to it, according to Huish. “However, there can be two different routes to take. I guess I took some of the side roads.
Justin Huish embodied the lucky amateur in many ways. He appeared seemingly out of nowhere, put on one of the most spectacular performances ever witnessed on the Olympic stage, and was subsequently thrown into increasingly professional limelight. The role of an Olympic Champion, even an Olympian, stretched far beyond the competition field after a century of strict amateurism in the Games.

Australia’s campaign at the Paris 2024 Olympics is currently underway with over 450 Australian athletes competing in 329 events across 42 sports at the ongoing Summer Games.
The country will have representation in 42 of the 45 sports on the Paris 2024 programme, with fencing, handball and volleyball being the only exceptions.
Heading into Paris 2024, Australian athletes have won 557 medals - 167 gold, 177 silver and 213 bronze - at the Olympics.
While adding to the tally at Paris 2024 will be the top priority for the Aussie athletes, a select few will also be coming home with some nifty records, big or small, from France when the dust settles.
Here’s a complete list of all of Australia’s records at the Paris 2024 Olympics so far.
Paris 2024 Olympics: Australia records
Laura Paeglis records highest score by an Australian woman in Olympic archery ranking round
With a score of 640 from her 72 arrows in the women’s individual archery ranking rounds at Paris 2024, Laura Paeglis came in 44th.
While it was well short of top seed Republic of Korea’s Lim Sihyeon world record score of 694, Laura’s score was the best-ever by an Aussie woman since the 72-arrow ranking round format began at Atlanta 1996.
Grace Brown becomes first Australian to win a gold medal in women’s time trial road cycling
Road cyclist Grace Brown won Australia’s first medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics with a gold in the women’s individual time trial on July 27. It was also the first Aussie medal in the women’s individual time trial road cycling event.
Sara Carrigan, at Athens 2004, was the last Aussie to win gold in a road race at the Olympics. Brown’s medal in France also saw an Australian female cyclist stand on the top podium for the first time since Anna Meares won the women’s sprint track cycling event at Paris 2024.
Australian men’s rugby sevens team logs best-ever finish
After quarter-final exits from both Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, the Australian men’s rugby sevens team logged its best-ever finish at the Olympics by making it to the semi-finals at Paris 2024.
Victories over Samoa, Kenya and Tokyo 2020 bronze medallists Argentina saw the Nicholas Malouf-led side cruise to the quarters. In the top eight, the Aussie men blanked USA 18-0 to make the semis, where they lost to Tokyo 2020 champions Fiji.
A close 26-19 defeat to South Africa ended their charge for a maiden Olympic medal.
Women’s 4x100m freestyle relay swimming team resets Olympic record
The quartet of Mollie O'Callaghan, Shayna Jack, Emma McKeon and Meg Harris clocked 3:28.92 to win the gold medal in women’s 4x100m freestyle relay swimming at Paris 2024. The time also saw the Olympic record in the event tumble.
Bronte Campbell, Meg Harris, Emma McKeon and Cate Campbell’s 3:29.69 from the Tokyo 2020 final was the previous mark.
Jessica Fox becomes first Australian to win medals in same event at four successive Olympic editions
Canoe slalom ace Jessica Fox won the gold medal in the women’s kayak event at Paris 2024 and in the process, became the first Australian to medal in the same event at four successive Olympic Games. She won a silver in women’s K1 at London 2012 and returned with back-to-back bronze medals from Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. Fox also won the women’s canoe (C1) gold at Tokyo 2020.
The medal also saw Fox join Ian Thorpe, Leisel Jones, Shirley Strickland and Anna Meares as the only Australian Olympians to win five individual Olympic medals.
Jack Rossiter records best finish by an Australian in men's 10m air rifle
Shooter Jack Rossiter shot 628.5 in the men's 10m air rifle qualifiers to finish 16th. Though he didn't make the cut for the final, it was the best-ever result by an Australian in the event at the Olympics. Dane Sampson, with 626.9, finished 30th.
Mollie O'Callaghan sets new women's 200m freestyle swimming Olympic record
Australia's Mollie O'Callaghan won the gold medal in the women's 200m freestyle swimming event at Paris 2024, beating fellow Aussie Ariarne Titmus to the finish line. O'Callaghan clocked 1:53.27 to better Titmus' previous Olympic record of 1:53.50 set at Tokyo 2020.
Kaylee McKeown betters own Olympic record in women's 100m backstroke
Kaylee McKeown clocked 57.33 to defend her women's 100m backstroke crown at Paris 2024 and bettered her own Olympic record of 57.47 set at Tokyo 2020.
Maddison Levi breaks records for most tries scored in women's rugby sevens at a single Olympic Games
Australia's Maddison Levi set the new record for most tries scored at a single Olympic Games by a women's rugby sevens player with 14 at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The Aussie team, however, stopped short of a podium finish after losing to Canada in the semi-finals before going down to the USA in the bronze medal match.
Jemima Montag resets national and Oceania record to win bronze medal in women's 20km race walk
Jemima Montag won Australia's first medal in the women's 20km race walk event at the Olympics since Jane Saville's bronze at Athens 2004. She bagged a bronze with a time of 1:26.25, bettering her previous national and Oceania record of 1:27:09 achieved at the Oceania Race Walking Championships in Adelaide earlier this year.

The whole world has its eyes on Paris.
Athletes from more than 200 countries across the globe will attend the 2024 Summer Olympics in France's capital city.
Each of the Olympians gathering in Paris this summer will add to the long history of the Olympics, which have been played every four years since 1896 (except 1916 due to World War I, 1940 and 1944 due to World War II and 2020 due to COVID-19). Paris has hosted the Olympics twice before in 1900 and 1924, so this return trip is long overdue.
Here are some different records and stats ahead of the 2024 Olympics:
How many countries are competing in the 2024 Olympics?
There are 206 countries in the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and each will have at least one athlete in Paris this summer.
What is the smallest country to compete in the Olympics?
Nauru holds the distinction as the smallest nation (by population) to compete in the Olympics. A small island located in the Pacific Ocean to the northeast of Australia, Nauru has an estimated population of 12,100.
The country has yet to medal since it first competed in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Nauru has only competed in the Olympics for weightlifting, judo and track and field, sending a total of 15 athletes in the last seven Games (1996 to 2020).
Which is the most populous country to never win an Olympic medal?
Bangladesh, with a population of 169,828,911 in its 2022 census, is the most populous country to never win an Olympic medal.
While Bangladesh has never competed in the Winter Olympics, it has sent athletes to the Summer Olympics every four years since 1984. Forty-nine athletes from Bangladesh have represented their country in track and field, archery, swimming, shooting, gymnastics and golf over the last 10 Olympics.
Four more athletes will represent Bangladesh in 2024: Md Sagor Islam (archery), Md Robiul Islam (shooting), Samiul Islam Rafi (swimming) and Sonia Aktar (swimming).
Which country has the fewest Olympic medals?
There are more than 60 countries that have never earned an Olympic medal. Some of the larger, more notable countries never to medal (outside of Bangladesh) include Bolivia, Cambodia, Honduras, Nepal and Yemen.
Which country has competed in the most Olympics without winning a gold medal?
Monaco has competed in 21 Summer Games without earning a gold medal, which is the most appearances ever without a gold.
Known for its famed Formula 1 race and as a tourist destination among the wealthy, Monaco has sent 114 athletes to the Summer Olympic Games since its first trip in 1920. Monaco has not only never won a gold medal, it has never won any medal at the Olympics — summer or winter — in 32 appearances.
In 2024, Monaco will send five athletes looking to earn that first medal: Marvin Gadeau (judo), Quentin Antognelli (rowing), Théo Druenne (swimming), Lisa Pou (swimming) and Tang Xiaoxin (table tennis).
Which country has attended the fewest Olympics?
Among currently existing nations, South Sudan and Kosovo have attended the fewest Olympics with two appearances each (2016 and 2021).
Both of these countries have one key thing in common: they haven’t existed for very long. South Sudan gained independence from Sudan in 2011, while Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, so neither country appeared in the Olympics until 2016 before returning in 2021 at the Tokyo Games.
How many athletes are competing in the Paris Olympics?
A estimate of 10,500 athletes are expected to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics — and for the first time ever, the split will be 50% men and 50% women. Those 10,500 athletes will compete in 32 different sports and 339 events this summer.
Which country has hosted the most Olympics?
France will play host for a sixth time in 2024, but it will still be chasing the United States as the country that has hosted the most Olympics.

During the Olympic Games, hosts invite the world into their cities. But what happens after the world leaves and at what cost to the community?
In 1990, with the prospect of the Olympic Games on the horizon, Atlanta entered a construction phase. As with other host cities across the globe, Atlanta began to plan to accommodate new stadiums, thousands of athletes, and millions of visitors. The sites that were built, razed, altered, or planned in the lead up to the Games had long-term impact on our city’s landscape and its residents, including the most vulnerable.
As the spectacle of the Games has evolved over time, so have host city preparation measures. In the six years between the selection of Atlanta as host and the Opening Ceremony of the Games, there was an unrelenting push to locate or build facilities for specialized events. Organizers faced pressure for their work to last beyond the two weeks of pomp, circumstance, and sportsmanship.
The result of this construction and preparation—the physical alterations to the landscape, the new stock of facilities, the revitalization of infrastructure, the new public spaces, and the impact on neighborhoods—is the most noticeable legacy of hosting the Olympic Games.
Exponential Growth
Olympic-related urban transformations are apparent as early as 1908. White City Stadium, constructed in the farmlands of greater London between 1907 and 1908, was the first major facility built specifically for an Olympic Games. In these early Games, many events (track and field, cycling, and archery for example) took place in a single stadium or on multi-purpose playing fields. Additional temporary buildings became common at Games hosted in association with world’s fairs. Olympic Village construction became common by the 1920s. Widespread urban development, however, was not part of the Olympic preparation model until the latter half of the 20th century. By that time, the International Olympic Committee started to change its stance on profits and cities across the globe prioritized urban renewal.
As the world moved on from post-war austerity, the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome and 1964 in Tokyo set major milestones for Games-related urban transformation. Leaders in these Olympic host cities invested in urban improvements, infrastructure development, and facility construction projects that reintroduced the cities to the global economic stage after the second World War. Hosts throughout the late 1960s and 1970s followed this lead. Growing pushback from the public about the cost of increasingly elaborate Games preparations reached a peak after the 1976 Games in Montreal accrued extreme debt for the city. In 1984, Los Angeles reacted by committing to host the Games only in existing venues across the city, using limited public money. The profit generated from the 1984 Games enticed cities back to the prospect of hosting, even if they had less existing infrastructure.
And so, the use of Olympic plans for urban transformation continued and set precedents in Seoul in 1988 and Barcelona in 1992. Both used broad Olympic-related urban redevelopment projects to accelerate long-term plans, reshape their identity, and spur economic development. In this way, Games preparation continued intersecting with urban renewal through the 1990s to the present. Expansive stadiums and the increasing number of required facilities meant that added space was necessary to accommodate the Games. The increasing profile and media coverage of the Games meant growing attention was directed to the impact on not just local business and the urban landscape, but host city residents as well. In the host cities of the 1960s to today, housing for poor populations and historic neighborhoods regularly suffer in the path of these goals.
Atlanta entered the Olympic preparation race with fewer facilities than Los Angeles and without the natural and architectural attractions of Barcelona. Still, Atlanta’s goals combined those of the previous Games: raising the city’s international profile and improving the urban landscape, while at the same time not overspending. The organizers faced many similar challenges of past host cities and attempted to draw from past solutions for accommodating the events and readying the city for the spotlight. The changes to the city’s urban fabric and the long-term impact on residents’ lives and the demographics of downtown Atlanta and intown neighborhoods also mirror the stories of fellow hosts.
Filling in the Ring
For decades prior to its Olympic bid, Atlanta worked to expand transportation infrastructure, build major facilities for entertainment, and entice professional sports teams, convention bookings, and new corporate headquarters into the city. Atlanta’s urban core had been the site for a number of civic projects, including I-75, I-85, and I-20 in the interstate highway system beginning in the 1950s, the Atlanta Civic Center and Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium in the 1960s, and Omni Coliseum and surrounding business-centered developments in the 1970s. With many of these projects, the impact was felt by longstanding Black and low-income communities. The community of Buttermilk Bottom was razed to construct the Civic Center. Washington-Rawson neighborhood, in the Summerhill area was demolished for highway and later stadium plans. By the time of the bid in the late 1980s, Atlanta had multiple professional sports venues, convention centers, and exhibition halls, including the planned Georgia Dome. This urban growth, decades in the making, left changed neighborhoods and disrupted lives in its wake, yet boosted the city’s image and economy. Once Atlanta was selected to host, preparations for the Games accelerated the city’s pace of growth and took it from a national to a global level.
From early in the bid process, Atlanta’s Olympic organizers identified sites for most Games activities within a 3-mile wide area centered on the city’s urban core, known as the Olympic Ring. During the Games, the ring encircled seven previously existing venues, four newly constructed ones, a new Olympic Village complex, and a new park in the central business district. Existing venues used for the Games included Georgia World Congress Center, Omni Coliseum, Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, and sites on the campuses of Georgia Tech and the Atlanta University Center colleges. Paralympic Games secured other existing event spaces as well, including facilities on Emory University, Mercer University, and Atlanta Metropolitan College’s campuses and in the Marriot Marquis.
Big Builds
Centennial Olympic Park and Centennial Olympic Stadium are Atlanta’s signature Games constructions. Both projects resulted in lasting change to Atlanta’s urban fabric.
With Olympic events secured in the Georgia World Congress Center, Omni Coliseum, and on the Georgia Tech campus, a large section of the city’s industrial and aging downtown was at the center of the Olympic Ring. Inspired by the public gathering spaces of previous Olympic hosts, Atlanta’s Olympic leaders raised support to plan Centennial Olympic Park. A 20+ acre urban greenspace, the park was the solution to reinvent the section of downtown south of Techwood and Clark Howell Homes public housing and to the north and east of the Georgia World Congress Center in advance of the Games and spur change for the downtown area. Filled will underused warehouses, open lots, small businesses, and those experiencing homelessness, this section of the urban core had been the focus of decades-long discussions between city and business leaders and development advocates about how to make the central business district more attractive to new industry, tourism, and corporate sectors.
Throughout the Olympic planning process, Atlanta’s city leaders and Olympic organizers discussed ideas of aligning the long-avoided renovation of Atlanta’s majority Black public housing, situated between the venues on Georgia Tech’s campus and the venues downtown, with Olympic preparations. Early ideas included renovating the properties and using them temporarily for Olympic Village dormitories. Yet planning was disputed and complicated. Finally, with the Atlanta Housing Authority under new direction, the authority and private developers secured an early federal HOPE VI grant and initiated new plans to completely replace Techwood and Clark Howell Homes, and three other neighborhoods, with a replicable model of mixed-income housing. During these negotiations, tenants received mixed notifications about the future of their housing, and many left prior to the development decisions due to the uncertainty. The eventual replacement did not accommodate all original tenants. And the first phase of the new Centennial Place housing opened on the site of the old complexes, with the Olympic Village dormitories across the street and Centennial Olympic Park just to the south, in time for the ’96 Games.
A combination of sources funded the park’s construction: foundation gifts, state money, corporate donations, and money raised by the Olympic organizers through a commemorative brick sales program. During the Games, the park served as a public space for attendees, locals, and athletes. In the time since, Centennial Olympic Park has prompted additional investments in Atlanta’s downtown and tourism industry. Hotels and attractions have developed along the park’s edges, including Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, and the Center for Civil and Human Rights. Photos and footage of the park are regularly featured in promotions for the city. Its proximity to Mercedes-Benz Stadium continues to connect the area to major events. In advance of the 2019 Super Bowl, the park received its most recent renovation, closing off the bisecting street, improving landscaping, and adding public art. The story of the park highlights the longstanding push for economic development in the city’s urban core.
Atlanta’s Olympic organizers scouted a location adjacent to Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium in the area of Summerhill, Mechanicsville, and Peoplestown neighborhoods for Centennial Olympic Stadium. Summerhill was established in 1865 due to restrictions on where Black residents could live in Atlanta. At that time, its residents were formerly enslaved people and much of the city’s Jewish population. Throughout its history, residents of the Summerhill neighborhood were subject to inequities in public services and investment, top-down urban planning, and violent policing practices, which prompted a series of riots in 1966. But the neighborhood also has a history of protest and citizen-led change. The proposed location reignited distrust from long-time residents who had seen a number of development projects negatively affect their neighborhood. In the 1950s and 1960s, the interstates laid dividing lines and razed residential land. Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium paved over blocks of housing and urban renewal efforts brought numerous neighborhood changes from city officials.
From the initial location announcement until long after construction began, a group of community activists called Atlanta Neighbors United For Fairness (ANUFF)and organized by Ethel Mae Matthews out of Emmaus House, fought the plans. They were unable to influence the decision process and by 1993 Olympic stadium construction was announced for a large swath of paved parking lots directly to the south of Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. ANUFF and engaged neighbors demonstrated through the groundbreaking event and continued to advocate for community benefits and labor agreements long after.
Stadium plans were formulated in partnership with the Atlanta Braves. The facility was planned to exist as an Olympic track-sized venue only temporarily. After the close of the Games, it was renovated into a baseball facility. Then, 30-year-old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium was demolished, and the Braves moved into their new home, Turner Field. The lifespan of the Olympic-era stadium continues today under Georgia State University’s ownership as their football field, Center Parc Credit Union Stadium.
ADA in Atlanta
The ’96 Games were the first hosted on U.S. soil since passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA, 1990). The ADA prohibits discrimination based on disability, with a major part of the law tackling barriers to public architecture for disabled people. It mandated that the architecture of sites, such as places of lodging, dining, education, and recreation, be constructed so that individuals of all abilities could have full and equal enjoyment of the services held within. New facilities built after July 1992 had to consider a variety of perspectives, previously not mandatory in design and construction.
With this new law in place, construction of Centennial Olympic Stadium, modifications to the Georgia Dome, and the later retrofitting of the stadium to Turner Field became important markers in the process of turning the law into practice. Construction of Centennial Olympic Stadium highlighted many of the learning curves necessary to build compliant sports venues, including wheelchair sightlines and seating. Paralympic affiliates in Atlanta and nationally led many of the efforts to achieve compliance.
Tents, Technology, and Temporary Sites
Though more common in recent Games, such as London in 2012, some of Atlanta’s Olympic venues and facilities were temporary, constructed to last only the duration of the Games. Viewers and attendees at the ’96 Games remember the tents, pop-up stages, and concession stands in and around Centennial Olympic Park. Temporary structures served other purposes as well. With specialized venues required for Olympic sports, cities often cannot develop plans to sustain long-term use. Temporary facilities have been used by host cities to reduce the likelihood of abandonment after the Games.
The cycling velodrome along with the archery range at Stone Mountain were assembled just for the duration of the Games. The velodrome track was disassembled after and sold to a training center in Québec, Canada, where it is in use today. The site of these two facilities is now a wooded trail through a bird habitat in Stone Mountain Park.
Temporary facilities were also set up on the grounds of the Olympic Village dormitories to provide services to athletes and Olympic family. There was a full-service McDonald’s restaurant in one tent and IBM erected a colorful internet café in another tent, called the Surf Shack. Burgeoning digital technology of the mid-1990s presented Games organizers with many new ideas for Games organization, athlete accommodations, and customer service. In the Surf Shack, athletes were encouraged to engage with technology and were provided individual email accounts for fan mail and customizable webpages. Internet-enabled information kiosks also temporarily dotted the central area of the Olympic Ring, providing access to daily Games schedules, ticketing, maps, and athlete information.
Outside the Ring
Despite the new construction, reused facilities, and temporary venues, the density of Atlanta’s urban core did not allow enough space for all Olympic and Paralympic sports. Games organizers secured use of other venues across Georgia, in three other states, and Washington, D.C. To accommodate events, such as sailing and equestrian sports, towns in the metro Atlanta area and locations within a few hours’ drive bid to be selected as sites of specialty venues.
Federal funding supported the construction of a specialized whitewater sporting venue in Ducktown, Tennessee. The equestrian venue was constructed in Conyers, Georgia. Lake Lanier served as a perfect site for rowing and sprint canoeing events. A shooting range and a beach park for the new Olympic sport of beach volleyball were fashioned south of the city. And a large tennis venue was constructed near Stone Mountain, the only venue from ’96 abandoned since the Games. Five of the specialized venues built outside of the Olympic Ring continue operations aligned with their original purposes.
Then / Now
In recent years, media outlets, researchers, and artists are among those who have tracked the afterlives of Olympic and Paralympic venues in cities. Photographers of “The Olympic City” project document past host cities and the vestiges of Olympic construction around the world. Focusing on Atlanta, you can take a self-guided tour through the sites and venues of ’96. As discussions about more sustainable, affordable, and inclusive planning for Games become more prevalent, reports of Olympic preparations, impact of construction on residents, and the afterlives of facilities in past host cities are often revisited.
In Atlanta, the organizers’ focus on post-Games plans for venues, use of shared cost-funding models, and employment of many local architecture and engineering firms over more costly designers saved money and avoided potential abandonment. When comparing the physical legacies of Atlanta’s venues with the “white elephants” of other Olympic cities, the city has fared well. Yet the location of the ‘96 Games in the geographic core of the city put Olympic plans in conflict with some of Atlanta’s vulnerable populations. The construction negatively impacted the neighborhood of Summerhill, some residents of public housing, and the city’s homeless populations, as decision-making replicated the top-down model typical of many big urban change initiatives of the past and present. Every four years, the question of how to get it right is revisited. How can the Games benefit all residents of the host city? Some pose the idea of always hosting them in the same city. Some talk about scaling back the spectacle.
Our newest exhibition, opening on September 18, places the ’96 Games in the context of Atlanta’s history of civic projects and promotion, prompting the visitor to consider how they can change their community and prompting ideas about how Atlanta might change in the future.

Tokyo, 2020
Turkey's Mete Gazoz, who didn't have any great results in world championships or the Olympics before Tokyo, won gold at the 2020 Games. He beat Italy's Mauro Nespoli, who claimed silver, while Furukawa Takaharu (JPN) bested Chinese Taipei's Tang Chih-Chun in the bronze-medal match. An San (KOR), who made her Olympic debut at age 20 at the Tokyo Games, won gold in the women's competition. Russia's Elena Osipova claimed silver and Italy's Lucilla Boari the bronze. In the men's team tournament, South Kora won gold, Chinese Tapei earned silver and Japan was awarded bronze. For the women's team tournament, South Korea won gold, Russia took silver and Germany left with bronze. The mixed teams event made its debut at the Tokyo Olympics. South Korea continued its dominance in the sport by winning gold, the Netherlands earned silver and Mexico took home the bronze medal.
Rio, 2016
Korea continued its dominance in archery at the Rio Olympics: all four gold medals (and one bronze) went to Korean athletes. Ku Bon-Chan won the men's individual competition and Chang Hye-Jin won the women's. The U.S. left with a silver medal in the men's team event and Brady Ellison took bronze in the men's individual competition. South Korea's four gold medals made archery the country's most successful Olympic sport, overtaking short-track speed skating at the Olympic Winter Games.
London, 2012
The set system debuted in the men's and women's individual competition. Oh Jin-Hyek of South Korea took gold in the men's individual final defeating Japan's Takaharu Furukawa 7-1. Italy won the men's team event by defeating the United States team of Brady Ellison, Jake Kaminski and Jacob Wukie 219-218. South Korea added to its archery medal count in the women's events as Ki Bo-Bae won the individual event and South Korea's women's team won gold. The Mexican duo of Aida Roman and Mariana Avitia recorded silver and bronze respectively in the women's individual event while American Khatuna Lorig finished fourth.
Beijing, 2008
Ukraine's Viktor Ruban took men's individual gold and South Korea claimed men's team gold. The South Korean women's team set an Olympic record in the ranking round on day one of the Games. The next day they set a world record in their quarterfinals against Italy and also won the gold medal, stretching the South Korean women's Olympic domination to 20 years. The women's individual winner was Zhang Juanjuan of China, who took the gold by overcoming the top-three world-ranked archers.
Athens, 2004
A narrow 237-235 loss by the men's team to Ukraine in the bronze medal match and the women's team's loss to Greece in the first round prevented the United States from earning a medal in either the team or individual competition for only the second time since the sport's Olympic introduction in 1976. The men's and women's teams from South Korea each earned gold.
Sydney, 2000
The Sydney Games saw Australia win its first-ever Olympic medal in archery as Simon Fairweather edged American Vic Wunderle 113-106 in the men's individual final. Wunderle, Butch Johnson and Rod White clinched team bronze for the U.S.
Atlanta, 1996
In Atlanta, 21-year-old Justin Huish -- who sometimes practiced at home by shooting from across the street, up his driveway, and through his garage door toward a target in his backyard -- became an instant celebrity. Sporting a ponytail and backward baseball cap, the carefree Californian ranked No. 24 in the world won gold by beating Sweden's Magnus Petersson 112-107 in the final. The next day, Huish and the American men won the team competition, defeating South Korea.
Barcelona, 1992
Excluding the boycotted 1980 Games, Americans had accounted for the past four men's individual Olympic champions. But the U.S. run ended in Barcelona, where France's Sebastien Flute upset Chung Jae-Hun of South Korea to win gold. In fact, the American men didn't get near an archery podium at the 1992 Games; Jay Barrs finished a U.S.-best seventh individually, and the team placed sixth.
Seoul, 1988
American Jay Barrs, known for listening to heavy metal music between rounds, won the men's individual gold with a late surge on the final day of competition in Seoul, defeating South Korean Park Sung-Soo 338-336. Barrs also helped the USA men's squad to a silver in the debut of the team competition.
Los Angeles, 1984
At El Dorado Park in Long Beach, Calif., Darrell Pace obliterated the 1984 Olympic archery competition. He had the title wrapped up after the third of four days of shooting and was so confident he took a lunch break midway through the final day to meet the press. Teammate Rick McKinney won silver, 52 points back.
Montreal, 1976
In Montreal, the United States matched its Munich sweep of the archery gold medals when Darrell Pace set a world record en route to the men's title, and Luann Ryon, competing in her first international tournament, won the women's event.
Munich, 1972
Fifty-two years after its last appearance at the 1920 Games, archery returned to the Olympics with men's and women's individual events. U.S. men entered Munich having won every individual world title since 1967 and every team championship since 1957. Reigning world champion John Williams, an 18-year-old army private, won the gold, setting a world record for total score and a single-round world record despite once completely missing the target. Doreen Wilber, 42, a housewife from Jefferson, Iowa, scored an upset by winning gold in Munich. No American woman had won a world crown since 1962. Wilber set a world record in the process and became the second-oldest woman to win an Olympic archery event.
Antwerp, 1920
After the 1912 Olympic program didn't include archery, and the 1916 Games were canceled, the sport was brought back in 1920 because of great Belgian interest. However, only three countries participated - Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The host country dominated, with Hubert van Innis, 54, raising his career total to six golds and three silvers. Van Innis' victories came in events that involved shooting at a bird-shaped target on poles. These events were discontinued after 1920.
London, 1908
Charlotte "Lottie" Dod, sister of men's gold medalist William Dod placed second in London to British teammate Sybil "Queenie" Newall in the National Round. Dod, an accomplished athlete, previously had won five Wimbledon singles titles in the late 1800s, a British Ladies golf crown and a place on the national field hockey team. She also was a national-caliber figure skater and once sledded down Switzerland's famed Cresta Run. William Dod, who was born to a wealthy family and never worked or attended school, won the York Round competition on his 41st birthday. The British newcomer had not taken an interest in the sport until after he turned 39. Two days later, when his sister Lottie took silver in archery, the Dods became the first brother and sister Olympic medalists.
St. Louis, 1904
The archery program was expanded in 1904 to include three women's events. As with several other sports at the St. Louis Games, only Americans competed. In the women's competition, Lida Howell won three gold medals.

The Games have expanded from a 42-event competition, with fewer than 250 men competing to including over 10,000 competitors of both genders from 202 nations. Organisers for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing expect approximately 10,500 athletes to take part in the 302 events on the programme for the Games. The Athens 2004 games, for which organizers had also expected 10,500 competitors, drew a total of 11,099 in the 301 events offered.
Competitors are entered by a National Olympic Committee (NOC) to represent their country of citizenship. National anthems and flags accompany the medal ceremonies, and tables showing the number of medals won by each country are widely used. In general, only recognized nations are represented, but a few sovereign-disputed countries are allowed to take part.
The United States has hosted the most Summer Olympics games, hosting four. The United Kingdom has hosted three Summer Olympics games, all in London, including the most recent games in 2012. Australia, France, Germany and Greece have all hosted the Summer Olympic Games twice. Countries that have hosted the Summer Olympics once are: Belgium, Canada, China, Finland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, the Soviet Union and Sweden. Four cities have hosted two Summer Olympic Games: Los Angeles, London, Paris and Athens.
Five countries - Australia, France, Great Britain, Greece and Switzerland - have sent teams to every single Summer Olympic Games. The only country to have won at least one gold medal at every Summer Olympic Games is Great Britain, ranging from one gold in 1904, 1952 and 1996 to fifty-six golds in 1908.
Qualification[]
Qualification rules for each of the Olympic sports are set by the International Federation (IF) that governs that sport's international competition.
For individual sports, competitors typically qualify through attaining a certain place in a major international event or on the IF's ranking list. National Olympic Committees may enter a limited number of qualified competitors in each event (3 is a common number), and the NOC decides which qualified competitors to select as representatives in each event if more have attained the benchmark than can be entered. Many events provide for a certain number of wildcard entries, given to athletes from developing nations. Nations qualify teams for team sports through continental qualifying tournaments, in which each continental association is given a certain number of spots in the Olympic tournament. The host nation is generally given an automatic qualification.
History[]
The early years[]
The modern Olympic Games were founded in 1894 when Pierre Fredi, Baron de Coubertin sought to promote international understanding through sporting competition. He based his Olympics on the Wenlock Olympian Society Annual Games, which had been contested in Much Wenlock since 1850. The first edition of de Coubertin's games, held in Athens in 1896, attracted just 245 competitors, of whom more than 200 were Greek, and only 14 countries were represented. Nevertheless, no international events of this magnitude had been organized before. Female athletes were not allowed to compete, though one woman, Stamata Revithi, ran the marathon course on her own, saying "[i]f the committee doesn’t let me compete I will go after them regardless".
Four years later the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris attracted more than four times as many athletes, including 11 women, who were allowed to officially compete for the first time, in croquet, golf, sailing, and tennis. The Games were integrated with the Paris World's Fair and lasted over 5 months. It is still disputed which events exactly were Olympic, since few or maybe even none of the events were advertised as such at the time.
Numbers declined again for the 1904 Games in St. Louis, Missouri, due in part to the lengthy transatlantic boat trip required of the European competitors, and the integration with the Louisiana Purchase Exposition World's Fair, which again spread the event out over an extended period. In contrast with Paris 1900, the word Olympic was used for practically every contest, including those exclusively for school boys or for Irish-Americans.
A series of smaller games were held in Athens in 1906. these were to be the first of an alternating series of games to be held in Athens, but the series failed to materialize. The games were held in 1906 to celebrate the "tenth birthday" of the games. The IOC does not currently recognize these games as being official Olympic Games, although many historians do. The 1906 Athens games, which had over 900 athletes competing, were more successful than the 1900 and 1904 games and contributed positively to the success of future games.
The 1908 London Games saw numbers rise again, as well as the first running of the marathon over its now-standard distance of 42.195 km (26 miles 385 yards). This distance was chosen to ensure that the race finished in front of the box occupied by the British royal family. The marathon had been 40 km for the first games in 1896, but was subsequently varied by up to 2 km due to local conditions such as street and stadium layout. At the six Olympic Games between 1900 and 1920, the marathon was raced over six different distances.
At the end of the 1908 marathon the Italian runner Dorando Pietri was first to enter the stadium, but he was clearly in distress, and collapsed of exhaustion before he could complete the event. He was helped over the finish line by concerned race officials, but later he was disqualified and the gold medal was awarded to John Hayes, who had trailed him by around 30 seconds.
The Games continued to grow, attracting 2,504 competitors, to Stockholm in 1912, including the great all-rounder Jim Thorpe, who won both the decathlon and pentathlon. Thorpe had previously played a few games of baseball for a fee, and saw his medals stripped for this breach of amateurism after complaints from his own country men. They were reinstated in 1983, 30 years after his death. The Games at Stockholm were the first to fulfill Pierre de Coubertin's original idea. For the first time since the Games started in 1896 were all continents represented with athletes competing in the same stadium.
The scheduled Berlin Games of 1916 were cancelled following the onset of World War I.
The interwar era[]
The 1920 Antwerp games in war-ravaged Belgium were a subdued affair, but again drew a record number of competitors. This record only stood until 1924, when the Paris Games would involve 3,000 competitors, the greatest of whom was Finnish runner Paavo Nurmi. "The Flying Finn", won three team gold medals and the individual 1,500 and 5,000 meter runs, the latter two on the same day.
The 1928 Amsterdam games were notable for being the first games which allowed females to compete at track & field athletics, and benefited greatly from the general prosperity of the times alongside the first appearance of sponsors of the games, from Coca-Cola. This was in stark contrast to 1932 when the Los Angeles games were affected by the Great Depression, which contributed to the fewest competitors since the St. Louis games.
The 1936 Berlin Games were seen by the German government as a golden opportunity to promote their ideology. The ruling Nazi Party commissioned film-maker Leni Riefenstahl to film the games. The result, Olympia, was a masterpiece, despite Adolf Hitler's theories of Aryan racial superiority being repeatedly shown up by "non-Aryan" athletes. In particular, African-American sprinter and long jumper Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals. The tale of Hitler snubbing Owens at the ensuing medal ceremony is a fabrication.[1]
Due to World War II, the Games of 1940 (due to be held in Tokyo and temporarily relocated to Helsinki upon the outbreak of war) were cancelled. The Games of 1944 were due to be held in London but were also cancelled; instead, London hosted the first games after the end of the war, in 1948.
After WWII[]
The first post-war Games were held in 1948 in London, with both Germany and Japan excluded. Dutch sprinter Fanny Blankers-Koen won four gold medals on the track, emulating Owens' achievement in Berlin.
At the 1952 Games in Helsinki the USSR team competed for the first time and at once became one of the dominant teams. Finland made a legend of an amiable Czech army lieutenant named Emil Zátopek, who was intent on improving on his single gold and silver medals from 1948. Having first won both the 10,000 and 5,000 metre races, he also entered the marathon, despite having never previously raced at that distance. Pacing himself by chatting with the other leaders, Zátopek led from about half way, slowly dropping the remaining contenders to win by two and a half minutes, and completed a trio of wins.
The 1956 Melbourne Games were largely successful, barring a water polo match between Hungary and the Soviet Union, which political tensions caused to end as a pitched battle between the teams. Due to a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in Britain at the time and the strict quarantine laws of Australia, the equestrian events were held a few months earlier, in Stockholm.
The 1960 Rome Games saw the arrival on the world scene of a young light-heavyweight boxer named Cassius Clay, later known as Muhammad Ali, who would later throw his gold medal away in disgust after being refused service in a whites-only restaurant in his home town, Louisville, KY. Soviet women's artistic gymnastics team members won 15 of 16 possible medals. Other performers of note in 1960 included Wilma Rudolph, a gold medalist in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4x100 meter relay events.
The 1964 Games held in Tokyo are notable for heralding the modern age of telecommunications. These games were the first to be broadcast worldwide on television, enabled by the recent advent of communication satellites. The 1964 Games were thus a turning point in the global visibility and popularity of the Olympics.
Performances at the 1968 Mexico City games were affected by the altitude of the host city.[2] No event was affected more than the long jump. American athlete Bob Beamon jumped 8.90 meters (29 feet 2.4 inches), setting a new world record and, in the words of fellow competitor and then-reigning champion Lynn Davies, "making the rest of us look silly." Beamon's world record would stand for 23 years. The 1968 Games also saw the introduction of the now-universal Fosbury flop, a technique which won American high jumper Dick Fosbury the gold medal. Politics took centre stage in the medal ceremony for the men's 200 metre dash, where Tommie Smith and John Carlos made a protest gesture on the podium against the segregation in the United States; their political act was condemned within the Olympic Movement, but was praised in the American Civil Rights Movement.
Politics again intervened at Munich in 1972, with lethal consequences. A Palestinian terrorist group named Black September invaded the Olympic village and broke into the apartment of the Israeli delegation. They killed two Israelis and held 9 others as hostages. The terrorists demanded that Israel release numerous prisoners. When the Israeli government refused their demand, a tense stand-off ensued while negotiations continued. Eventually the captors, still holding their hostages, were offered safe passage and taken to an airport, where they were ambushed by German security forces. In the firefight that followed, 15 people, including the nine Israeli athletes and five of the terrorists, were killed. After much debate, it was decided that the Games would continue, but proceedings were obviously dominated by these events.[3] Some memorable athletic achievements did occur during these Games, notably the winning of a record seven gold medals by United States swimmer Mark Spitz, Lasse Viren's, of Finland, back to back gold in the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters, defeating American distance great Steve Prefontaine in the former, and the winning of three gold medals by 16-year-old Soviet gymnast Olga Korbut, who, however failed to win the all-around to her teammate Ludmilla Tourischeva.
There was no such tragedy in Montreal in 1976, but bad planning led to the Games' cost far exceeding the budget. The Montreal Games are the most expensive in Olympic history, costing over $5 billion (equivalent to $20 billion in 2006). For a time, it seemed that the Olympics might no longer be a viable financial proposition. There was also a boycott by African nations to protest against a recent tour of apartheid-run South Africa by a New Zealand rugby side. The Romanian gymnast Nadia Comăneci won the women's individual all around gold medal with two of four possible perfect scores, thus giving birth to a gymnastics dynasty in Romania. Another female gymnast to earn the perfect score and three gold medals there was Nellie Kim of the USSR. Lasse Viren repeated his double gold in the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters, making him the only athlete to ever win the distance double twice.
End of the 20th century[]
Following the Soviet Union's participation to the Afghan Civil War, 66 nations, including the United States, Canada, West Germany and Japan, boycotted the 1980 games held in Moscow. Notably, Greece, Great Britain and Australia did not withdraw, and remain the only nations to have competed in all summer games. The boycott contributed to the 1980 Games being a less publicized and less competitive affair, which was dominated by the host country.
In 1984 the Soviet Union, and 14 Soviet Allies, reciprocated by boycotting the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. These games were perhaps the first games of a new era to make a profit. The games were again viable, but had become more commercial. Again, without the participation of the Eastern European countries, the 1984 Games were dominated by their host country.
The 1988 Seoul games were very well planned but the games were sadly tainted when many of the athletes, most notably men's 100 metres winner Ben Johnson, failed mandatory drug tests. Despite splendid drug-free performances by many individuals, the number of people who failed screenings for performance-enhancing chemicals overshadowed the games.
On the bright side, drug testing and regulation authorities were catching up with the cheating that had been endemic in athletics for some years. The 1992 Barcelona Summer Games were cleaner, although not without incident. In evidence there was increased professionalism amongst Olympic athletes, exemplified by US basketball's "Dream Team". 1992 also saw the reintroduction to the Games of several smaller European states which had been incorporated into the Soviet Union since World War II.
By then the process of choosing a location for the Games had itself become a commercial concern; allegations of corruption rocked the International Olympic Committee, in particular with reference to Salt Lake City's bid to host the 2002 Winter Olympics. It was also widely rumored that The Coca-Cola Company, a key IOC sponsor, was highly influential in the 1996 Summer Olympics being hosted by its home city of Atlanta. In the stadium in 1996, the highlight was 200 meters runner Michael Johnson annihilating the world record in front of a home crowd. Canadians savoured Donovan Bailey's record-breaking gold medal run in the 100-metre dash. This was popularly felt to be an appropriate recompense for the previous national disgrace involving Ben Johnson. There were also emotional scenes, such as when Muhammad Ali, clearly affected by Parkinson's disease, lit the Olympic torch and received a replacement medal for the one he had discarded in 1960. The latter event took place not at the boxing ring but in the basketball arena, at the demand of US television. The atmosphere at the Games was marred however when a bomb exploded during the celebration in Centennial Park. In June 2003, the principal suspect in this bombing, Eric Robert Rudolph, was captured.
A new millennium[]
The 2000 Games were held in Sydney, Australia, and showcased individual performances by local favourite Ian Thorpe in the pool, Briton Steve Redgrave who won a rowing gold medal in an unprecedented fifth consecutive Olympics, and Cathy Freeman, an Indigenous Australian whose triumph in the 400 meters united a packed stadium. Eric "the Eel" Moussambani, a swimmer from Equatorial Guinea, had a memorably slow 100 metre freestyle swim that showed that, even in the commercial world of the twentieth century, some of de Coubertin's original vision still remained.[4] The Sydney Games were also memorable for the first appearance of a joint North and South Korean contingent (to a standing ovation) at the opening ceremonies, even if they competed as different countries.
2004 saw the Games return to their birthplace in Athens, Greece. Greece spent at least $7.2 billion on the Games, including $1.5 billion on security alone. The games were praised and appreciated for their excellent quality in terms of organization, hospitality, symbolism, the level of the competition and athleticism, and the overall image transmitted worldwide. Although unfounded and wildly sensationalized reports of potential terrorism drove crowds away from the preliminary competitions of first weekend of the games (August 14-15), attendance picked up soon thereafter as the games progressed, the competitions got underway, and the terrorist attacks and security glitches failed to materialize. The Athens Games witnessed all NOCs participate for the first time since 1996, and the largest ever — with 202 NOCs and over 11,000 participants.
The 2008 Summer Olympics are to be held in Beijing, China. Several new events, including the new discipline of BMX for both men and women, are to be held. For the first time, women will compete in the steeplechase. The fencing program will be expanded to include all six events for both men and women. Women had not previously been able to compete in team foil or sabre events. Marathon swimming events, over the distance of 10 kilometres, will be added. In addition, the doubles events in table tennis will be replaced by team events.
London, United Kingdom held the 2012 Summer Olympics, making London the only city to host the Games three times. The International Olympic Committee removed baseball and softball from the 2012 program. However, they may be re-added in programs in later years. The International Olympic Committee announced that Rio de Janeiro, Brazil would host the 2016 Summer Olympics.
List of Olympic sports[]
42 different sports, spanning 56 different disciplines, have been part of the Olympic program at one point or another. 28 sports have comprised the schedule for the 2000, 2004, and 2008, though baseball and softball have been removed to give a list of 26 for the 2012 Games.[5]
The Summer Olympic Sports or Federations are regrouped under a common umbrella association, called the Association of Summer Olympic Federations (ASOIF).

Pregnant Olympians are pushing boundaries at the 2024 Olympics in Paris by competing ever later into pregnancy.

Many Olympic athletes take to Instagram to share news of their exploits, trials, victories and heartbreaks. After her fencing event ended last week, Egypt’s Nada Hafez shared a little bit more.
She’d been fencing for two, the athlete revealed — and in fact had been pregnant for seven months.
“What appears to you as two players on the podium, they were actually three!” Hafez wrote, under an emotional picture of her during the match. “It was me, my competitor, & my yet-to-come to our world, little baby!” Mom (and baby) finished the competition ranked 16th, Hafez's best result in three Olympics.
A day later, an Azerbaijani archer was also revealed on Instagram to have competed while six-and-a-half months pregnant. Yaylagul Ramazanova told Xinhua News she'd felt her baby kick before she took a shot — and then shot a 10, the maximum number of points.
There have been pregnant Olympians and Paralympians before, though the phenomenon is rare for obvious reasons. Still, most stories have been of athletes competing when they’re far earlier in their pregnancies — or not even far enough along to know they were expecting.
Like U.S. beach volleyball star Kerri Walsh Jennings, who won her third gold medal while, unknowingly, five weeks pregnant with her third child.
“When I was throwing my body around fearlessly, and going for gold for our country, I was pregnant,” she said on “Today” after the London Games in 2012. She and husband Casey (also a beach volleyball player) had only started trying to conceive right before the Olympics, she said, figuring it would take time. But she felt different, and volleyball partner Misty May-Treanor said to her — presciently, it turned out — “You're probably pregnant.”
It makes sense that pregnant athletes are pushing boundaries now, one expert says, as both attitudes and knowledge develop about what women can do deep into pregnancy.
“This is something we’re seeing more and more of,” says Dr. Kathryn Ackerman, a sports medicine physician and co-chair of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee's women’s health task force, “as women are dispelling the myth that you can’t exercise at a high level when you’re pregnant.”
Ackerman notes there's been little data, and so past decisions on the matter have often been arbitrary. But, she says, “doctors now recommend that if an athlete is in good condition going into pregnancy, and there are no complications, then it's safe to work out, train, and compete at a very high level.” An exception, she says, might be something like ski racing, where the risk of a bad fall is great.
But in fencing, says the Boston-based Ackerman, there is clearly protective padding for athletes, and in less physically strenuous sports like archery or shooting, there's absolutely no reason a woman can't compete.
It’s not just an issue of physical fitness, of course. It is deeply emotional. Deciding whether and how to compete while trying to also grow a family is a thorny calculus that male athletes simply don’t have to consider — at least in anywhere near the same way.
Just ask Serena Williams, who famously won the Australian Open in 2017 while pregnant with her first child. When, some five years later, she wanted to try for a second, she stepped back from tennis — an excruciating decision.
“Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family,” Williams — who won four Olympic golds — wrote in a Vogue essay. “I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity.”
Williams welcomed Adira River Ohanian in 2023, joining older sister Olympia. And Olympia was the name that U.S. softball player Michele Granger's mother reportedly suggested for the baby Granger was carrying when she pitched the gold-medal winning game in Atlanta in 1996. Her husband suggested the name Athena. Granger preferred neither.
“I didn't want to make that connection with her name,” said Granger to Gold Country Media in 2011. The baby was named Kady.
At the Paris fencing venue over the weekend, fans were mixed between admiration for the bravery and determination of Hafez, a 26-year-old former gymnast with a degree in medicine, and speculation about whether it was risky.
“There are certainly sports that are less violent,” said Pauline Dutertre, 29, sitting outside the elegant Grand Palais during a break in action alongside her father, Christian. Dutertre had competed herself on the international circuit in saber until 2013. “It is, after all, a combat sport.”
“In any case,” she noted, “it is courageous. Even without making it to the podium, what she did was brave.”
Marilyne Barbey, attending the fencing from Annecy in southeastern France with her family, wondered about safety too, but added: “You can fall anywhere, at any time. And, in the end, it is her choice.”
Ramazanova, who was visibly pregnant when competing, also earned admiration, including from her peers. She reached the final 32 in her event.
Casey Kaufhold, an American who earned bronze in the mixed team category, said it was “really cool” to see her Azerbaijani colleague achieving what she did.
“I think it’s awesome that we see more expecting mothers shooting in the Olympic Games and it’s great to have one in the sport of archery,” she said in comments to The Associated Press. “She shot really well, and I think it’s really cool because my coach is also a mother and she’s been doing so much to support her kids even while she’s away."
Kaufhold said she hoped Ramazanova's run would inspire more mothers and expectant mothers to compete. And she had a more personal thought for the mom-to-be:
“I think it’s awesome for this archer that one day, she can tell her kid, ‘Hey, I went to the Olympic Games and you were there, too.’”

YouTube, eh? Where would lazy afternoons at work be without it? There is this incredible 25 minute video of the 1996 Olympic archery competition. The ’96 Games were held in Atlanta, Georgia with the archery portion being held at Stone Mountain Park nearby; a spectacular, brooding backdrop. You can watch it all here:
I like a lot of things about this film. The amazing displays of what would now be considered quite unorthodox techniques (especially releases). The ‘Hollywood’ inserts. The weird split channel audio. There are many highlights: the mixture of horror and bafflement on a Korean archer’s face at shooting a six. Some seriously 90s bow paint jobs. The way Kim Kyung-Wook comes down, calms down, and recomposes herself to take out a ten and the match – the mental strength, the composure, boggle the mind. In the gold medal match, she takes out the camera in the centre of the ten-ring twice.
It starts getting really good with the men’s individual, though, and the arrival of Justin Huish. The US team (above), in the era before they let half-decent designers do the national team kits, have ended up looking slightly like a local baseball team in a heartwarming underdog movie. Huish, with his wraparounds and his hint-of-Fonzie burns is a curious mix of slacker king and pumped-aggression. There’s something threatening about him.
The semi-final match between his and the legend that is Michele Frangilli (looking, with that glove, and that draw-all-over-his-face, like an off-duty Bond villain’s henchman) is a doozy. Watch it all here. The crowd goes apeshit, and does it again for Huish’s semi. You can see him start to respond with more and more passion. By the time he walks out for the final with M Petersson you can see him just drinking it in.
Playing to the crowd, confidence oozing. Writing the script. As the final winds on, he starts increasingly displaying a showy tic of holding his draw hand index finger to his neck. Look at me. It’s all me.
The denoument is a delight. The sight of an athlete responding to an ecstatic crowd, using them as a spur, setting up that feedback loop of confidence is one of the delights of watching sport. That sense of collective drama and tension. Sadly, in archery, you only usually get those kind of crowds once or twice every four years. The quality may be there, but the event is missing. (I was never much of a football fan until someone took me to see Arsenal play in the late 1990s. Standing in the North Bank when the home team scored; the noise is just… narcotic. Like nothing else. As William Blake wrote: “Energy is pure delight.”) I don’t think archery should be like football, but I want those collective feelings. I want that sense of narrative.
The film also contains a melancholic contrast to the earlier displays; in the women’s team competition, the sight of Cornelia Pfohl shooting, and then… ah, I’ll let you watch it. It’s better watched than written about (and watched till the end).

"We'll need a little luck, and just shoot the way we have been the last couple of years," Brady Ellison, the world's top archer, told Newsweek.

One of the most epic, must-watch events at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics was the men's recurve team finals in archery. The American team shot about as well as any team could shoot that day. The South Koreans were just a touch better.
Despite a performance America's Brady Ellison said was "darn good" that day, the South Koreans were near-prefect.
The American trio of Ellison, Jake Kiminski and Zach Garrett took home the team silver, which matched the U.S. team's accomplishment at the 2012 Games, where they fell to Italy in the gold medal round.
Now, going into the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, the Americans are favored to make it back to the medal round. This time there won't be crowd noise in the background. Just the guys with their bows and arrows.
This year's team, comprised of Ellison, Jacob Wukie and Jack Williams, is the first group of Americans to each have shot a score of 680 during qualifying. They're not the only Olympic team to do it, though.
As Ellison told Newsweek, it will take some luck to go along with years of honing their craft and practicing their skills.
"I compare shooting archery to pro gambling," said Ellison, who won individual bronze in Rio and is currently the top-ranked archer in the world. "There's a lot of luck involved in what you're doing. In poker, you can have a great hand and lose. In archery, you can shoot good and still lose."
That's what happened in the 2016 team finals in Rio.
That's when Ellison was still playing through some nagging injuries. He had problems with his fingers and had knee surgery after those Games. That was before he and his wife, Slovenian archer Toja, had their first child. He's older, calmer and wiser now, and he's headed to his fourth Olympic Games.
"I think as you get older, you get more comfortable," said Ellison, who has a more laid-back demeanor than he did prior to Rio. "As you get older in life, you start focusing on the little stuff."
Ellison said he doesn't feel pressure, even as the No. 1 archer on the planet with a bullseye on his own back.
"I don't feel a lot of pressure," said Ellison, before he hopped on a jet and headed to Tokyo with the USA Archery team. "I think a lot of times how hard it is to stay at the top, no matter how talented you are. I think it's really hard to stay No. 1 in any sport for a long period of time."
The Americans are aiming for their first Olympic gold medal since 1996, when the team of Justin Huish, Richard Johnson and Rod White won the men's title at the Atlanta Games. Huish also won individual gold in Atlanta, which is also the last time an American won the Olympic individual gold medal.
This year's U.S. trio has a chance to win a team medal and two individual medals at the same Olympics, which has never been done by an American squad at any modern Olympic Games. Only once in history have two individuals medaled, which was at the 1984 Los Angeles Games when Darrell Pace (gold) and Richard McKinney (silver) did it. But there was no team medal.
That's also the only time two Americans won individual medals at the same Olympics.
This year's team feels they have the right ingredients to become that first team to bring home a heavier medal haul.
"I think we definitely ended up with a pretty strong and amazing team," Ellison said. "I feel that if we shoot like we did to get our spot, then we have a strong chance to win gold and a strong chance to win multiple individual medals.
"We'll need a little luck, and just shoot the way we have been the last couple of years."
Wukie was on the 2012 team that beat South Korea in the semifinals before falling to Italy. Williams, who's just 21, wasn't even shooting archery full-time yet in 2012. He received his first bow in 2013, but he quickly shot up the ranks to make the 2020 Olympic team.
Williams feels the Americans have a chance to not just win gold, but perhaps even sweep the individual awards.
"That's the goal, to win as many medals for Team USA," Williams said. "Our obvious goals are individual gold, silver and medal and a team gold. I think this is a team that can do that."
The men's team elimination round, quarterfinals and medal rounds will all be on Monday morning and afternoon (Japan time), which will be Sunday afternoon and evening in the United States.

GOG 2001 TRG ARCHERY 3
Notable
Rod's Olympic coach, Karen Strickland, taught him to visualize his targets to be successful. Now Rod will run through all of the stations in his head (he said he was even doing this during our interview) and visualize himself shooting them successfully. He feels you have to have a successful mental picture. He said it's only the last round that can throw him, because he can hear the other arrows hitting the targets and it can be distracting wondering if the other archer is ahead.

Archery’s history at the Olympic Games is split into two periods: the early era and the modern era.
The sport featured on the programme of the Olympic Games in 1900, 1904, 1908 and 1920 during the early era. It was also one of the first sports to feature women’s events, in 1904. The competition formats were inconsistent, often based on local rules, and archery was subsequently dropped from the programme. World Archery was founded in 1931 with the goal of rejoining the Games.
Archery returned to the Olympic Games in 1972 and has remained on the programme ever since. During this modern era, the competition format has evolved toward exciting, easily accessible and broadcast-friendly head-to-head matchplay. Two gold medals, for the individual events, were awarded from 1972 to 1984; team events were added in 1988. The mixed team event was added for 2020, bringing the total number of Olympic Champion titles available in the archery competitions to five.
Currently, 64 men and 64 women compete in target archery events with recurve bows at the Olympics. The reigning Olympic Champions are Korea's Ku Bonchan and Chang Hye Jin.
Since 2004, the archery competitions at the Olympic Games have often been held in iconic locations like the Panathinaikos Stadium (2004), Lord’s Cricket Ground (2012) and the Sambodromo (2016).
Current competition format
Archers at the Olympic Games use recurve bows and compete in the discipline of target archery.
The competition features individual, mixed team and team events. A mixed team consists of two archers, one man and one woman, shooting in the same category (with the same bow). A team consists of three archers of the same gender shooting in the same category (with the same bow).
Nations must qualify quota places. A maximum of 128 athletes can compete, 64 men and 64 women. Places are won at world qualifying events and continental qualifying events. A small number of places are assigned using the universality system, which ensures archery’s developing countries can participate and the competition field remains diverse. Each country can send a maximum of three men and three women to the Olympic Games.
Archers shoot over a distance of 70 metres at targets measuring 122 centimetres in diameter, aiming to hit a 10-ring measuring just 12.2 centimetres in diameter. The qualification phase of the competition, which consists of 72 arrows shot for total score, seeds the archers for the matchplay phase.
Archers and teams shoot in head-to-head brackets, in which the winner of each match advances and the loser is eliminated until a champion is crowned.

A sport that exudes the values of patience, precision and concentration, archery has evolved into a global sport in modern times.
Defined as the act of using bows and arrows, the word ‘archery’ comes from the Latin word ‘arcus’, which meant bow. It was invented as early as 10,000 B.C. and also used in the middle ages for hunting.
However, in modern times, archery gradually turned into a competitive sport, being played with a variety of equipment and over various disciplines.
Archery categories
According to World Archery – the global governing body, the sport of archery is divided into three major sections – target, indoor and field.
Target Archery
Target archery involves shooting at stationary circular targets set at specific distances.
Archers shoot up to a distance of 70 metres (for recurve) and 50 metres (for compound) in standard competition. Archers aim at the five-colour target, consisting of 10 scoring zones in gold, red, blue, black and white rings.
The innermost yellow rings score 10 and nine points, red rings score eight and seven, blue rings score six and five, black rings four and three, while the outermost white rings score two and one points.
It is the most well-known form of modern archery and the one used at the Olympic Games and World Archery Championships. The world rankings are also calculated on the basis of target archery events.
Indoor and Field Archery
The two other categories are indoor archery and field archery.
Indoor archery is a variation of target archery, wherein archers shoot at stationary circular targets over short distances (generally 18 metres) inside a building.
The World Archery Indoor Championships were held from 1991 to 2018, and since then, a new competition called the ‘Indoor Archery World Series’ has been organised.
On the other hand, in field archery, the archers shoot at stationary circular targets of various sizes set at different distances, heights and angles around the course of a natural terrain. It tests archers’ skills in judging distances, shooting uphill and downhill in changing light conditions.
Field archery competitions are held in the form of the World Archery Field Championships and are held every two years. It was first hosted in 1969.
Archery equipment
There are three types of bows used in archery – recurve, compound and barebow.
Recurve
The recurve bow is the only one used at the Olympic Games.
A recurve archer pulls the string towards their face with their fingers and aims at the target through a sight. The arrow is then released downrange towards the target.
The bit where the bow is held is called the riser, off which limbs (or the arcs) of the bow extend. The bowstrings are wrapped at the end of each limb.
An adjustable sight, a rod-like object to which a ‘sight pin’ – which helps archers view the target - is set up, is also attached to the riser.
Archers use long and short rods to stabilise the bow, which helps in windy conditions or keeping the bow steady when the arrow is released. To protect themselves from the string, archers wear finger tabs and arm-guards to protect the forearm from rubbing the bowstring.
In a recurve event, archers shoot over a distance of 70 metres at a target face which has a diameter of 122cm with the innermost 10-point ring measuring 12.2cm in diameter.
Compound and Barebow
A compound bow is similar to a recurve bow, except that the bowstrings are attached to the limbs through pulleys (also called cams). It thus makes archery less physical, allows more accuracy and power from a greater distance.
A compound archer also views his target through a scope with a magnifying lens in addition to a sight pin. A compound competition is held in World Archery Championships and Archery World Cup but not in the Olympics.
The target in a compound event is set at 50 metres. The target face is 80cm in diameter with the innermost 10-point ring 8cm in diameter.
A barebow is the most primitive form of bow in archery, with archers allowed no stabilisers or sight pins to shoot at their targets.
Barebow archers shoot at targets set at 50 metres, with the target face measuring 122cm in diameter.
Archery at the Olympics
Archery formed an early relationship with the Olympics. It was included in the second edition in 1900 and also in 1904, 1908 and the 1920 Games.
However, too many local variations led to archery being dropped from the Olympic programme. The global body of World Archery was formed in 1931 with the aim of getting the sport back in the quadrennial event.
They finally succeeded in that endeavour 40 years later, as archery made a return to the Olympics at Munich 1972, with recurve events being the accepted form.
At present, 64 men and 64 women compete in the individual, team and mixed team archery programme at the Olympics.
The team events were introduced in 1988 while the mixed team event will be played for the first time at Tokyo 2020.
Archery rules
In the individual event, each archer shoots 72 arrows in the qualification phase, the total score of which is used to determine the rankings for the matchplay phase – where archers go head-to-head.
In the matchplay phase, archers compete in best-of-five sets. A set is a predetermined number of arrows shot by an archer or a team, and the ones with a better aggregate score earn two points for winning a set. If the set is drawn, each archer or team is awarded one point.
For individual events, three arrows constitute a set, while it is four arrows for a mixed team event and six arrows for a team event.
As per archery rules, the first archer or team to accumulate six points is declared the winner in a matchplay, with the losers being eliminated. This format continues until the final, where the winner takes the gold medal and the loser takes silver.
In case the scores are level after five sets, the matchplay goes into a tie-break. In individual events, the winner is determined by the archer whose arrow lands closest to the target.
In a mixed team or team event, each archer shoots an arrow and the team with the better total is declared the winner.
Most successful Olympic archers
The most successful Olympic archer is South Korea’s Kim Soo-Nyung. She has four gold medals – one individual and three team – in addition to an individual silver and individual bronze at the Summer Games.
Among the men, American Darrell Pace is the most successful archer, having twice won the individual gold medal – in 1976 and 1984, in addition to a team silver.
South Korea is the most successful nation at the Olympic Games, having won 27 golds, nine silvers and seven bronze medals. In fact, South Korea have claimed all the gold medals in the women’s team event since it was introduced in 1988.

Thirty-two countries will be represented at the Indoor Archery World Championships in Yankton over the weekend. The director at the archery center in Yankton, Bruce Cull, said the staff has been planning for two years for the competition. A 25,000 square foot space was added on to the existing center to accommodate for this competition.
More than 300 athletes will compete in the championships with the finals happening Sunday and Monday. The competition starts at 9:00 AM both of those days. It is free to the public if they would like to attend and watch the competition. The athletes will compete on teams of three in various rounds and will also compete individually. Rod White is a former athlete who won a gold medal in the 1996 Olympics in a team competition. He said for many of the athletes who are not competing for the United States, they are hoping to win money from their respective countries. The government pays them if they win. For the athletes in the United States, they are competing more for prestige.
Cull believes the championships will bring in more than $1,000,000 to the city of Yankton.

Olympian or Paralympian? More than a dozen athletes around the world can call themselves both names

International Paralympic Committee

As the world celebrates Olympic Day on June 23, Paralympians are ready to join the party — and some of them are guaranteed front row seats.
In nearly 10 Para sports, there are multiple athletes who have competed in both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, including those who have reached this milestone just weeks apart.
Here we look back at some of the legends who made history with their double appearances at the Games and at those who continue to push boundaries on the international sports stage to this day.
Climbing Mount Olympus
Neroli Fairhall made history when she became the first Paralympian to compete in an Olympic Games in 1984. The New Zealander made her Paralympic debut twelve years earlier, then as a Para athlete. She added Para archery to her repertoire in Arnhem 1980, won a gold medal in the sport and set a world record. Fairhall also qualified for the Olympics that year, but was unable to participate due to the US-led boycott.
In 1982, Fairhall competed in the Commonwealth Games, where she won a gold medal and became the first disabled athlete to compete in the multi-sport event. Two years later, she made her Olympic debut in LA 1984.
Belgium’s Sonja Vettenburg and American distance runner Marla Runyan followed a similar path. Vettenburg won gold and bronze medals in shooting at the 1984 and 1988 Paralympic Games before making her Olympic debut, in the 10m air pistol, in Barcelona 1992.
Runyan collected five Paralympic gold medals in her races in Barcelona 1992 and Atlanta 1996. In 2000, she competed in the Sydney Olympics, becoming the first legally blind athlete to compete in an Olympics. She returned to the Olympic stage for the second time in Athens 2004.
Double take
Olympics and Paralympics a few weeks apart? Not a problem for these five athletes who competed at both Games back-to-back.
Italian Para archer Paola Fantato set the bar high when she competed in the 1996 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Atlanta 1996 was the third of her five Paralympic appearances, earning the five-time Paralympic champion two medals.
Poland's Natalia Partyka, South Africa's Natalie du Toit and Iran's Zahra Nemati are more recent examples of Paralympians who did double duty during the Games.
Six-time Paralympic champion Partyka competed in table tennis at both Games for four consecutive editions, starting with Beijing 2008.
Fellow Para table tennis player Melissa Tapper followed a similar path eight years later when she competed in the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Australian track athlete repeated this feat in Tokyo 2020, where she won team silver in the Paralympic competition.
Para swimmer Natalie du Toit joined Partyka as the only other Paralympic athlete to compete in the 2008 Olympics. She won five gold medals at the 2008 Paralympic Games, bringing her total Paralympic titles to 13, becoming the first athlete who carried the flag at the opening ceremonies of both the Olympic and Paralympic Games in one year.
Zahra Nemati also embraced flag-carrying duties when she was selected for the role in the 2016 Rio Olympics. The Para archer also carried the flag of Iran at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, where she won her third consecutive gold medal in the women’s individual recurve.
New world explorers
While there are multiple Paralympic athletes who have taken on the Olympics, there are also many cases of Olympians who have discovered Paralympic sports and pursued their newfound passion to the highest level of competition.
A prominent example is Hungary’s Pal Szekeres, who is the first athlete to win medals at both the Olympic and Paralympic Games. A bronze medalist in the team foil event at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Szekeres switched to wheelchair fencing after being injured in an accident in 1991 and went on to win three gold and three bronze medals in five Paralympic appearances.
Italy’s Orazio Fagone has the distinction of being the only winter athlete to have competed in doubles at the Games. Fagone competed in short track speed skating at three Winter Olympics and became Olympic champion in 1994. Although he was unable to skate after his leg was amputated as a result of a road accident, Fagone’s love for ice remained unabated. He took up sledge hockey and competed with the Italian team at their home games of the 2006 Paralympic Winter Games.
Other Olympians who have pursued a Paralympic career after serious injuries include Germany’s Ilke Wyludda and Croatian Sandra Paovic.
Wyludda, a three-time Olympian, won gold in the women’s discus throw at Atlanta 1996 and became a Paralympian in 2012. Paovic competed in table tennis at the 2008 Olympics, but had a serious accident the following year and switched to Para table tennis. She won Paralympic gold in Rio 2016.
To look at
If you missed these Paralympics during the past Olympic Games editions, and vice versa, there are plenty of opportunities on the road to Paris 2024 to make up for that.
Apart from Partyka and Tapper who continue to shine in the top-level table tennis competitions, Assunta Legnante from Italy is always sure to put on a show on the athletic field. The 2008 Olympic shot putter switched to Para competitions after her vision deteriorated. Legnante, a double Paralympic gold medalist from London 2012 and Rio 2016, settled for two silver medals last summer in Tokyo and will be happy to regain her golden glow in Paris.
Another journey worth following is that of equestrian rider Pepo Puch. The five-time Paralympic medallist represented Croatia at the 2004 Olympics and switched to Para sport after suffering an incomplete spinal cord injury from an accident. Puch made his Paralympic debut in London 2012, where he won gold and bronze for his native Austria. He also won medals in his next two Games appearances and wants to continue this streak on French soil.

Competition Archery Media did a podcast with Justin Huish, the only U.S. archer in history to win two gold medals at a single Olympics.
Huish won the men’s individual gold and was part of the men’s team that won gold, both at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Ga.
In the podcast with CAM, Huish talks about his rise to the top of the archery world. He also talks for the first time to a media outlet about his famous fall from that peak.
Huish quit the 2000 U.S. Olympic team after he was arrested in California for possession of marijuana for sale.
He talks about the freak injury that preceded his arrest and his subsequent attempts to make a comeback, which extend to today. Huish finished 11th at the 2020 USA Archery Target Nationals and fifth at the 2020 U.S. Open in August.

Three-time Olympic medalist Brady Ellison and world No. 1 Casey Kaufhold won the U.S. Olympic Archery Trials and in Paris can become the first Americans to win an Olympic title in the sport since 1996.
Catalina GNoriega and Jennifer Mucino-Fernandez also made the team on the women’s side by finishing second and third at trials.
Trenton Cowles and Jack Williams, the second and third men at trials, will compete in Paris if the U.S. qualifies two more quota spots later this spring.
Five athletes also qualified for the Paris Paralympics at trials: 2012 silver medalist Matt Stutzman, Tracy Otto, KJ Polish, Eric Bennett and Jordan White, a 15-year-old who became the youngest U.S. archer to ever qualify for a Paralympics, according to the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee.
Ellison, 35, is set to tie the American archery record by competing in a fifth Olympics.
He took men’s team silver medals in 2012 and 2016, plus individual bronze in 2016.
Ellison entered the Tokyo Games ranked No. 1 in the world and lost in the quarterfinals to eventual gold medalist Mete Gazoz of Turkiye. He is now ranked No. 2 in the world behind Marcus D’Almeida of Brazil.
Kaufhold, 20, made her second Olympic team. In Tokyo, she was the youngest female archer from any country, plus the youngest U.S. Olympic archer since the 1988 Seoul Games, according to the OlyMADMen.
Kaufhold was eliminated in the round of 32 in her Olympic debut, then took silver at the world championships less than two months later.
Then last summer, Kaufhold became the first U.S. woman to claim the No. 1 world ranking since the rankings were created in 2001.
Ellison and Kaufhold could compete together in Paris in the mixed-gender team event, where each qualified nation fields one man and one woman.
The last time the U.S. won Olympic archery gold was at the 1996 Atlanta Games. Justin Huish, a ponytailed, backwards-cap wearing phenom, swept individual and team titles.
Huish, now 49 years old, competed at the trials for Paris and was eliminated before the final stage.

Main stabilizer: From 29 to 36 inches long, it balances and stabilizes the bow when raised.
Top/Bottom stabilizers: From 12 to 15 inches long, these also balance and stabilize the bow when raised.
Grip: Wrapped in tennis grip material to prevent slipping.
Counter-balance weight: Absorbs vibration and shock. Also helps balance the bow.
Vibration dampener: Helps reduce the vibration of the bow when the arrow is released.
Torque compensator: Absorbs vibration of the bow.
Arrow Pile: The tip of the arrow. Shaped like a bullet, it penetrates the target.
Nock: The attachment on the rear end of an arrow that holds it in place on the bowstring. Also, to "nock" is to place the arrow on the string.
Shaft: The long, narrow middle of the arrow, connecting the pile to the nock. Any substance, such as wood, aluminum or carbon, is allowed, but the shaft may not exceed 9.3 mm (about 1/3 of an inch) in diameter. It is marked with the archer's name or initials for identification.
The Target
Archers stand 70 meters (plus or minus 30 cm) away from a target that is on an incline of 75-80 degrees — regardless of what the target is set at, that is the incline to be used for all targets.
The target used has a diameter of 122 cm. The target is divided into 10 equal rings, each measuring 12.2 cm. The colors of white (1, 2), black (3, 4), light blue (5, 6), red (7, 8) and yellow (9, 10) are used to differentiate the 10 scoring rings.
In Olympic team events, there is a line marked one meter behind the shooting line. Behind the line is where teammates and coaches stand and where equipment is kept during the match.

An Olympic sport that debuted in 1900, archery was a mainstay of the early Olympics through 1920, but fell out of favor, not to return until 1972. Since then, however, it's been a consistent presence and the 2024 Paris Games will be no different.
Team USA is sending four archers – one man and three women – to the City of Light in search of the nation's first gold medal in the event since 1996.
In Olympic archery, athletes are judged primarily based on their scoring accuracy, which reflects their ability to consistently hit the target’s scoring zone, with higher scores awarded for closer shots to the center.
Judges also assess the archer’s technique, including stance, draw, anchor, and release. Consistency throughout the competition, both in performance and adherence to rules, is crucial for athletes aiming to end up in top rankings and placements.

Team USA’s roster contains both novice and experienced players entering the competition at Paris 2024. Read more to learn which athletes to watch.

Four-time Olympian Brady Ellison leads the roster in Paris. The 35-year-old three-time Olympic medalist is gearing up for his last shot at Olympic glory. Ellison came into the 2020 Tokyo Games ranked No. 1 in the world, but fell short during the quarterfinals and lost to Mete Gazoz of Turkiye.
World No. 1 Casey Kaufhold, 20, is leading the U.S.'s women’s roster. Kaufhold began archery at a young age. In 2023, she became the first American woman to hold the World No. 1 ranking in women's recurve, per her Team USA profile. She's hoping to become the first U.S woman to win an individual medal since 1976, when Luann Ryon won gold in Montreal.

In a 2024 interview with Team USA, Kaufhold spoke to what extent Ellison has inspired her career thus far as gear up for the Olympics. “So, the thing that he’s taught me is that no matter where you are, just step up there and do the same thing you do every time.” She said. “It’s nothing special. It’s still the same you, the same bow, the same arrow, and the same target.”

“We are all genuinely excited,” said Kaufhold. “The dream of winning gold is no longer just a dream, it’s now the goal.”

How to watch
Every day during the Summer Olympics, NBC will offer fans at least nine hours of daytime coverage of the Games’ most exciting events, including live finals coverage of swimming, gymnastics, track and field, and more. Considering the time difference (Paris is six hours ahead of the U.S.’s eastern time zone), fans will be able to watch the day’s most popular events live on NBC in the morning and afternoon. NBC will also deliver an enhanced Olympics primetime show each night, providing three hours of must-see entertainment.
In addition, every event from the Summer Olympics will be broadcast live on Peacock, which will be home to an innovative Olympics hub that will include "curated rails of live and upcoming events, dedicated in-depth hubs for nearly 40 sports, medal standings and an interactive schedule."

Watching athletes at the Olympics is enough to fill anyone with a combination of awe and wistfulness. The awe is self-explanatory—who wouldn't be amazed by the athletic prowess of today's Olympians?
But the wistfulness might surprise you, especially if you have never dreamed of competing on an international athletic stage. And yet, the thought still sits there, niggling at the back of your mind, "What if, just what if, I missed my calling? What if, with the right training, I could have qualified for an Olympic sport?"
Oldest Olympians
You may not be 16 anymore, but that doesn't mean you have to hang up your hopes for Olympic gold. The oldest Olympian ever to compete was Oscar Swahn from Sweden, who became the oldest gold medalist in Olympic history at 64 years old when he participated in 1912 as a shooter in the single-shot running deer team. That wasn't even the end of Swahn's competitive years. He returned to the Games in 1920 as a 72-year-old, taking a silver medal in another team shooting event.
Game Plan for Older Olympic Hopefuls
Granted, today's athletic events are more widely publicized and participated in than in the 1920s, making the competition a lot stiffer. But if you're really dedicated to making a name for yourself in sport, you may still have a shot at winning gold. If you're, say, 35 years old, you probably shouldn't expect to become a world-class gymnast.

In the summer of 1996, millions of visitors arrived in Atlanta to watch the world’s finest athletes compete for the coveted gold. Spectators watched as highly skilled men and women competed in strenuous sports such as track and field, mountain biking, rowing, and soccer. Conditioning and the ability to adjust to the weather conditions determined who was the best in his or her event. However, spectators were sometimes oblivious to the environment and the dangers posed to the athletes by inclement weather conditions. And, the 1996 Summer Olympic Games were held during the hottest time of the year.
To ensure the success of these Games, the National Weather Service (NWS), an arm of the Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, provided weather support to the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG), and to athletes, spectators, and media. Weather conditions were monitored using an array of sophisticated equipment. In addition to the latest satellites and Doppler radars, a network of monitoring stations reported current surface conditions to two NWS Olympic weather support offices in Georgia. The backbone of this dense monitoring network was formed by Campbell Scientific CR10-based weather stations that made up the University of Georgia’s Automated Environmental Monitoring Network (AEMN). The AEMN was supplemented by additional stations installed by NWS in data-void areas to generate the data needed to support high-resolution numerical models.
AEMN was established in 1991 by the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of Georgia. The main objective of the AEMN is to collect detailed weather data at agricultural research sites. In addition to supplying data for physical, chemical, and biological studies, the detailed weather information is input to the latest computerized agricultural simulation models and decision-support systems.
AEMN began with four CR10-based stations and currently consists of 31 stations. Each station is accessed by a modem and dedicated telephone line. A personal computer in Griffin calls each station at least once a day to download the previous day’s data. After downloading, the data are processed for applications and archival.
The retrieved weather data has become an invaluable and important resource for many entities. Daily summary reports are automatically faxed to local newspapers, television stations, utility companies, and various agricultural enterprises. Monthly summary reports are distributed to a range of clients in agriculture and other industries. Three stations have VS1 Voice Synthesized Telephone Modems that provide verbal reports of current weather conditions.
The value of AEMN to the NWS in supporting the Atlanta Games was recognized as early as 1991. At that time, ACOG requested that the NWS collect weather data at six potential sites for the equestrian venue. Due to the high temperature and humidity conditions during Georgian summers, an alternate site was being sought. During July and August of 1991, CR10 dataloggers operated by AEMN recorded detailed temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and wind direction data. This information was provided to ACOG, and the Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers was selected as the final venue.
In response to a subsequent request from the NWS, the University of Georgia bought and installed eight additional weather stations to support the Games. These units recorded data at the Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers (equestrian, modern pentathlon, and mountain bike racing); Lake Lanier in Gainesville (kayak sprint, rowing, and canoeing); the Ocoee River in Tennessee (canoe and kayak slalom); Williamson Island in the Wassaw Sound near Savannah (yachting); and Atlanta Beach in Jonesboro (beach volleyball). The remainder of the stations were installed at critical sites where additional climatological information was needed.
The NWS has numerous offices and associated Automated Surface Observation Systems (ASOS) that provided weather information during the Games. Despite the availability of the ASOS and AEMN stations, gaps remained in the network. To remedy this, the NWS purchased an additional 14 CR10-based weather stations in 1995. Stations were installed at venues including Wolf Creek (shooting); Clark Atlanta University (field hockey); Georgia Institute of Technology (swimming, diving, and water polo); and Stone Mountain Park (tennis, archery, and track cycling). The remainder of the stations were installed in critical climate regions of Georgia and Alabama. Additionally, two temporary stations were mounted on wheels to monitor weather conditions inside the new Olympic Stadium.
All the CR10-based stations monitored air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall. The AEMN stations also monitored solar radiation and soil temperature, so their programs were modified to accommodate the data requirements of the sophisticated NWS models. All sensors were scanned at one-second intervals and the data were averaged every 15 minutes. Daily summaries and extremes were calculated at midnight.
Other networks supplying weather data included the Alabama Mesonet managed by Auburn University, the fire weather station network of the Georgia Forestry Commission, and various automated stations located in Tennessee and the Carolinas.
The NWS operated two weather offices during the Games; one in Peachtree City and the other near Savannah, Georgia. Both offices interrogated each station at 15-minute intervals. Multiple computers handled this task, as each interrogation session lasted about 60 seconds. The data was then fed into high-resolution models that handled large amounts of input data. The models were run on supercomputers every 15 minutes to provide weather forecasts for each venue. The data was then processed and transmitted through ACOG’s information system to venue management officials, sports officials, coaches, and athletes.
The legacy of this effort to support the 1996 Olympic Games will be the tremendous amount of data being archived on CD-ROMs. These data will be available for studies involving localized climate, spatial weather variability, thunderstorms, sea breeze conditions, convection, and other meteorological phenomena. The weather data may also provide an impetus in convincing others to develop similar networks that will improve weather services to their communities.

The last recorded champion of the ancient Olympics was Varasdates, Prince of Armenia, who won the boxing in 369
The term halteres comes from the Greek word for dumbbells. In ancient Greek sports, halteres were used as lifting weights, and also as weights in their version of the long jump, which was probably a set of three jumps. Halteres were held in both hands to allow an athlete to jump a greater distance
The Olympic Flame or Olympic Torch commemorates the theft of fire from the Greek god Zeus by Prometheus, its origins lie in ancient Greece, when a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics. The fire was reintroduced at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam, and it has been part of the modern Olympic Games ever since. The torch relay of modern times which transports the flame from Greece to the various designated sites of the games had no ancient precedent and was introduced by Carl Diem, with the support of Joseph Goebbels, at the Berlin Olympics in 1936
1896 Athens
At the inaugural meeting of the IOC held at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1894, Baron Pierre de Coubertin proposed that the Olympic Games should be revived. The Greek delegate at the Congress, Demetrius Vikelas, was elected as the first president of the IOC, which had 13 members
Motto proposed in 1894 by de Coubertin
On 6 April 1896, King George I of Greece declared open the first modern Olympic Games. There were 245 athletes representing 14 nations, all of them men. 43 separate events were contested

YouTube, eh? Where would lazy afternoons at work be without it? There is this incredible 25 minute video of the 1996 Olympic archery competition. The ’96 Games were held in Atlanta, Georgia with the archery portion being held at Stone Mountain Park nearby; a spectacular, brooding backdrop. You can watch it all here:
I like a lot of things about this film. The amazing displays of what would now be considered quite unorthodox techniques (especially releases). The ‘Hollywood’ inserts. The weird split channel audio. There are many highlights: the mixture of horror and bafflement on a Korean archer’s face at shooting a six. Some seriously 90s bow paint jobs. The way Kim Kyung-Wook comes down, calms down, and recomposes herself to take out a ten and the match – the mental strength, the composure, boggle the mind. In the gold medal match, she takes out the camera in the centre of the ten-ring twice.
It starts getting really good with the men’s individual, though, and the arrival of Justin Huish. The US team (above), in the era before they let half-decent designers do the national team kits, have ended up looking slightly like a local baseball team in a heartwarming underdog movie. Huish, with his wraparounds and his hint-of-Fonzie burns is a curious mix of slacker king and pumped-aggression. There’s something threatening about him.
The semi-final match between his and the legend that is Michele Frangilli (looking, with that glove, and that draw-all-over-his-face, like an off-duty Bond villain’s henchman) is a doozy. Watch it all here. The crowd goes apeshit, and does it again for Huish’s semi. You can see him start to respond with more and more passion. By the time he walks out for the final with M Petersson you can see him just drinking it in.
Playing to the crowd, confidence oozing. Writing the script. As the final winds on, he starts increasingly displaying a showy tic of holding his draw hand index finger to his neck. Look at me. It’s all me.
The denoument is a delight. The sight of an athlete responding to an ecstatic crowd, using them as a spur, setting up that feedback loop of confidence is one of the delights of watching sport. That sense of collective drama and tension. Sadly, in archery, you only usually get those kind of crowds once or twice every four years. The quality may be there, but the event is missing. (I was never much of a football fan until someone took me to see Arsenal play in the late 1990s. Standing in the North Bank when the home team scored; the noise is just… narcotic. Like nothing else. As William Blake wrote: “Energy is pure delight.”) I don’t think archery should be like football, but I want those collective feelings. I want that sense of narrative.
The film also contains a melancholic contrast to the earlier displays; in the women’s team competition, the sight of Cornelia Pfohl shooting, and then… ah, I’ll let you watch it. It’s better watched than written about (and watched till the end).

The National Field Archery Association has chosen Olympic Archery Gold Medalist and Professional Bowhunter, Rod White of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, to the position of Bowhunting and Event Coordinator. Rod will assist both the NFAA and the Archery Trade Association in the development of new and existing programs, targeted to increase the number of bowhunters across the country. Working directly with the 49 state organizations, 500 plus NFAA clubs, and affiliated retailers, he will promote bowhunting and grow the NFAA membership base at a grassroots level. In addition, he will be assisting in providing valuable and relevant content to the organization's growing social media platforms, attracting new archers to the sport of bowhunting as well as target archery.
White's background includes participation in virtually all forms of target archery at a pro level for more than 23 years. At an early age, he launched his shooting career on multiple podium platforms in both national and international world championships. In 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia, White fired the last three arrows for the Men's Olympic Team, capturing Olympic Gold for the United States. Immediately after, White began his professional outfitting and guiding career throughout Montana, New Mexico, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, and Minnesota. Primarily focusing on whitetail deer, he also guided for elk, mule deer, black bear, antelope, and mountain lion.
Continuing his target career while maintaining his guiding and outfitting businesses, White participated in the Olympic Games again in Sydney, Australia, winning a Bronze Medal with his team. He then focused his competitive drive with a compound bow, rather than with the Olympic style recurve bow, and found success at the professional level within organizations like the National Field Archery Association, the Archery Shooters Association, the International Bowhunting Organization, the ESPN Great Outdoor Games, and the Buckmasters tournament series.
During this time, White worked for Mathews, Inc. of Sparta, Wisconsin, developing the National Archery In The Schools Program (NASP). He worked directly with Kentucky's Department of Fish and Wildlife Services and the Department of Education, to assist in the writing of the curriculums that were used to implement the programs. As one of the founding members of the program, White's duties included implementing the NASP program in a total of 33 different states by training Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation agents and officers who would certify participating teachers in the pilot programs.
White continued his involvement in growing the sport by helping retailers engage with the NASP program, and soon found himself working directly with big-box stores like Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops, and Gander Mountain. Appearing at dozens grand openings yearly, conducting bowhunting and product-based seminars in stores, and hosting multiple hunting television shows, White introduced archery to already outdoor-driven consumers who otherwise were not already engaged in bowhunting or bowfishing activities. His outfitting and guiding businesses rapidly turned into a specialized land management and habitat enhancement company, consulting for several large landowners in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Kansas. In total, he was managing in excess of 8000 acres across all states annually for world-class, free-ranging whitetails. White's land management clients collectively harvested 14 Boone and Crockett class Whitetails with 4 bucks exceeding the coveted 200 inch mark. His personal hunting accomplishments include harvesting nearly 60 Pope and Young class whitetails including 9 Boone and Crockett caliber deer and 2 in excess of 200 inches, nearly all but 4 with a bow. Other record class species in White's personal trophy room include Elk, Mule Deer, Antelope, Black Bear, and Mountain Lion.
His responsibilities at the NFAA will now include acting as the bowhunting liaison between state organizations, local clubs, and NFAA Headquarters, in addition to promoting the ATA's Explore Bowhunting and Bowfishing programs. White will also work with marketing staff on the development and distribution of marketing materials through online content including bowhunting content, blog posts, social media, and online seminars and courses. We are excited to have him on our team and look forward to working together to grow archery.

Sport Overview
Athletics at Paris 2024
Venues: Stade de France (track and field), Hôtel de Ville / Invalides (marathons), Pont d’Iéna (race walks)
Competition Dates: August 1-11 (Days 6-16)
Events: 48 (23 men, 23 women, 2 mixed)
The 48 athletics events are the most of any sport on the Olympic program. All are contested separately by men and women except where noted. The events can be divided into five groups:
* Track events (100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 5000m, 10,000m, 110m hurdles – men, 100m hurdles – women, 400m hurdles, 3000m steeplechase, 4x100m relay, 4x400m relay — men, women, mixed)
* Throwing events (shot put, discus, hammer, javelin)
* Jumping events (high jump, pole vault, long jump, triple jump)
* Combined events (decathlon – men, heptathlon – women)
* Road events (marathon, 20km race walk, race walk mixed team)
On the track, all events 1500m and shorter include three rounds of competition (round one, semifinals, final). The 5000m, steeplechase, and relays are two rounds (round one, final) while the 10,000m is a one-race final.
In the throwing events, only the best attempt is counted for each athlete. After three attempts in a qualification round, the top 12 advance to the final. Following their first three attempts in the final, the top eight athletes receive three more attempts to improve their placement.
In high jump and pole vault, athletes can enter the competition at any height and pass on any height, but three consecutive failures leads to elimination until one athlete remains. In long jump and triple jump, only the best attempt is counted for each athlete. After three attempts in a qualification round, the top 12 advance to the final. Following their first three attempts in the final, the top eight receive three more attempts to improve their placement.
In the combined events, athletes are awarded points which correlate to the times/measurements achieved in each event. The decathlon is 10 events (Day 1 — 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400m; Day 2 — 110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin, 1500m) while the heptathlon is seven events (Day 1 — 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200m; Day 2 — long jump, javelin, 800m).
The road events are all mass starts. In the race walks, athletes must always have one foot in contact with the ground and completely straighten their leg on each stride. Three violations leads to disqualification.
Canada’s Olympic Athletics History (Pre-Paris 2024)
With 66 Olympic medals, Canada has won more medals in athletics than in any other sport. Canada won six athletics medals at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, the country’s best total since the nine won at Los Angeles 1932.
At Tokyo 2020, Damian Warner became Canada’s first Olympic champion in the combined events. He led the decathlon from start to finish as he set the Olympic record in the event and became just the fourth man to ever break the 9000-point mark. It followed the bronze medal he had won at Rio 2016.
Andre De Grasse is the first Canadian man to win six Olympic medals, earning three each at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. After winning silver in the 200m and bronze in the 100m and 4x100m relay in Rio, he captured 200m gold in Tokyo and was again on the podium in the 100m and 4x100m relay. Aaron Brown and Brendon Rodney were also part of both relay medals.
History was also made in Tokyo by Evan Dunfee and Mohammed Ahmed. With his bronze, Dunfee became Canada’s first Olympic medallist in the 50km race walk, while Ahmed’s 5000m silver made him Canada’s first Olympic medallist in a long distance track event.
At Rio 2016, Derek Drouin became Canada’s first Olympic champion in a field event since 1932, winning gold with a clean sheet, just the sixth high jumper to ever do so in Olympic history. It was Canada’s fourth ever men’s high jump medal, following Greg Joy’s silver at Montreal 1976, Duncan McNaughton’s gold at Los Angeles 1932, and Drouin’s own silver at London 2012, where he was part of a three-way tie. In Rio, Canada was also the only country to win medals in both combined events, as heptathlete Brianne Theisen-Eaton joined Warner as a bronze medallist.
There was a pair of bronze medals at Beijing 2008 as Priscilla Lopes-Schliep won Canada’s first Olympic medal on the track since Atlanta 1996, where Donovan Bailey became the “world’s fastest man” by winning the 100m gold in world record time and then anchored the 4x100m relay team to gold. Dylan Armstrong captured Canada’s first Olympic throwing medal since Stockholm 1912 when Duncan Gillis won hammer throw silver.
Until De Grasse’s success at Tokyo 2020, the most medals won by a single athlete had been the five bronzes that Phil Edwards earned in middle distance events from 1928 to 1936.
Amsterdam 1928 stands out as perhaps Canada’s greatest Olympic Games in athletics. Women competed in athletics for the first time, leading to the first female members of a summer Canadian Olympic Team. They won four medals, including gold in the high jump by Ethel Catherwood and the 4x100m relay. Percy Williams is the star of the sprints, becoming the only Canadian to achieve double gold in the 100m and 200m.
Canada’s first ever Olympic medals came in athletics thanks to George Orton, who won 2500m steeplechase gold and 400m hurdles bronze in the span of an hour at Paris 1900.
Olympic Athletics History
Athletics is one of the original Olympic sports, having been included at every Games since Athens 1896. Of the 23 men’s events on the program at Paris 2024, 22 of them have been consistently contested dating back to Antwerp 1920. The last addition was the 20km race walk at Melbourne 1956.
Women were first allowed to compete in Olympic athletics events at Amsterdam 1928. Starting with just five events at those Games, the competition was gradually expanded. By Rome 1960, women could compete in 10 events. At Los Angeles 1984, there were 17 events as women were finally permitted to run distances longer than 1500m and the marathon made its debut. It wasn’t until Beijing 2008 that the current 23 women’s events were fully established with the last addition, the 3000m steeplechase.
The most recent changes to the Olympic program were the addition of a mixed 4x400m relay at Tokyo 2020 and a swap in the race walk program for Paris 2024. The men’s 50km race walk, which was included from Los Angeles 1932 to Tokyo 2020, has been replaced by a mixed team race walk event.

BY BROOKS TAYLOR
Mt. Pleasant News
All Rod White ever wanted to do was hunt.
Walking into his home southeast of Mt. Pleasant, it is obvious that White has been successful at his passion as mounted trophies from some of the 65-70 deer and elk he has slain provide the décor for the living room.
What White probably won?t tell you, unless you ask, is that he is a two-time Olympic archery medalist. Calling him a reluctant Olympic champion may be too harsh, but saying that the medals were a byproduct of his desire to hunt hits the nail on the head.
?The Olympics definitely were not a goal of mine, I just wanted to hunt,? he said. ?It?s not something I dreamed of doing, it is just something I did.?
Competing in team archery, White won gold in Atlanta in 1996 and returned from Sydney, Australia, four years later with a bronze medal.
His hometown of Hermitage, Pa., reveled in White striking gold in Atlanta, hosting a ticker-tape parade for him on his return and naming a park that was being built in town ?Rodney White Olympic Park.?
Twenty years have passed since White?s golden performance in Atlanta as he became the youngest male ever to win the gold medal in the sport, a distinction he still owns.
With millions of Americans tuned into the Olympics daily since the Rio games began Aug. 5, don?t count White among the masses. ?I?m trying to follow some of the Olympics on the Internet, but I don?t follow them nearly as closely as I did when I competed.?
Although he has moved halfway across the country since winning his medals, his memories of the Olympic experience remain largely the same as they did two decades ago. When asked by a Pennsylvania newspaper reporter upon returning home from Atlanta whether competing in the Olympics was the thrill of a lifetime, White said, ?Not really?it?s more of a relief now that the trials are over.?
The hardest work and the most stress, White remembers, was during preparation for the Olympics. ?We had prepared so much as a team. You invest so much time into making the team, that the qualifying process is more stressful than the Olympics.
But make no mistake, in the deep subconscious regions of his mind, White is smiling. ?I don?t really mean to downplay it (the Olympics). The Olympic setting was cool and something I will never forget.?
He stayed in the Olympic village in both 1996 and 2000, describing the village as ?a typical college setting. We shared dorm rooms and went there to sleep and that?s about it.?
What he does remember is the security was very strict, particularly at Atlanta.
Competitive archery was never that important, White said, even though at one time he was ranked second in the world and owned a couple of world records. ?It was always my goal to beat whom I was competing against. Scores really weren?t that important.?
He became involved in archery as a 13-year-old with the goal of being able to hunt. ?I just wanted to go hunt, so I had to go through lessons at the club. Part of it was target shooting and I did well.?
Doing well again might be understating his prowess as he won a pair of silver medals at the Junior World Championships when he was 17.
White?s teammates on the gold medal team were Justin Huish and Butch Johnson. Vic Wunderle replaced Huish on the 2000 squad. White said he knew his teammates well from competitions throughout the United States and world.
?We competed against each other a lot,? he recalls. ?Butch and I traveled a lot together. We went to all the tournaments together. We competed so much together that we knew each other inside and out.?
White?s team bested South Korea for the 1996 title with South Korea winning in 2000. Italy joins the U.S. and South Korea, White remarked, as the archery powers of the world.
The gold medal was worth a $25,000 bonus collectively to the team members, with the prize money coming from the U.S. Olympic Committee, while the bronze medal brought $5,000.
He also competed as an individual at both Olympicis, finishing 19th at Atlanta. He doesn?t remember his individual placing in Sydney.
Although there was a mini pot of gold at the end of the Olympic rainbow for White, he said participating in archery, unlike other sports, such as swimming and track and field, is not a financially lucrative experience. Archery is not a United States Olympic committee-funded sport (except for medal winners), making the U.S. the only country which does not fund its archery competitors.
?I bet my parents spent $40,000 to $50,000 sending me to archery competitions,? he said. ?Financially, it was really a struggle.?
White says his hunting carried him financially during the Olympic years as he had ?a lot of endorsements from companies? when he became a professional hunter. In return, White endorsed the sponsor?s products and represented the company at seminars and in speaking engagements.
Just making the Olympic team is a grueling experience, he said. In 1996, there were six qualifying tournaments for the team, but the number of tournaments was pared in half in 2000.
The team?s goal at the 1996 Olympics was to medal and White said the trio was fairly optimistic the goal would be attained. Anywhere from nine to 16 teams compete in Olympic archery. His 1996 team was seeded second going into the Olympics.
Marriage to a Mt. Pleasant native (the couple is now divorced) brought him to Iowa. He had a land management business for several years and also was a partner in a Mt. Pleasant real estate firm.
Part of the reason his view on his Olympic experience may differ greatly from other athletes is that White had plenty of experience in top-notch and world competition.
?Because I had competed overseas quite a bit, the Olympics to me was like some of those overseas tournaments. There were just more people at the Olympics,? he explained.
Following the 2000 Olympics, he never again tried out for the team. He said that marriage and raising a family became his priorities.
In fact, he took a hiatus from all archery competition until resuming his career last year. ?I have a three-year plan to be in the top 10 of tournaments.?
He admits his approach to competition may differ greatly from that of other participants. ?I don?t practice, I just show up.?
White also is in the process of launching his website and conducts bow schools and clinics. He said his ultimate goal is opening an archery center somewhere in eastern Iowa.
In archery, White said cardio exercise is as important and probably more so than practice. He admits to exercising more now than he did during his Olympic years.
The primary reason White began competing again is the sensation he gets from the sport. ?Archery provides such a major rush of adrenaline that it is difficult to control it. I live for that rush.?

A "brief history of archery."
The contents of this page were copied from the "South African Archery Portal" (www.archerysa.co.za/index.htm).
Pre 25,000 BC
The discovery of the first stone arrowheads in Africa tends to indicate that the bow and arrow were invented there, maybe as early as 50,000 BC.
It was probably developed in conjunction with the invention of the spear thrower.
A short bow would be a better hunting weapon when used to stalk animals in wooded areas, rather than carry around long spears.
The shape of the earliest bows can only be guessed at, as broken or worn out bows would probably end up on the cooking fire, reshaped into different tools or just thrown away.
25,000 - 18,000 BC
Fire hardened points used on the arrows. Flint arrowheads shaped to a point and inserted into a slot and tied with sinew to the front of the arrow. Feathers were glued and tied with sinew to the arrow shafts.
18,000 - 9,000 BC
11,000 BC - In a burial tomb in San Teodoro Cave, Sicily, a skeleton was found with a fragment of a flint arrow head embedded in the pelvis. Arrow shafts found in Germany are dated to approx. 9,000 BC.
9,000 - 6,000 BC
Bows are found in Denmark that date from approx. 8,000 - 6,000 BC.
These bows are one piece made from yew or elm and are 'tillered'. (Even amount of bend on top and bottom limbs.)
Tassili rock fresco depicting archer in Egypt from about 7,500 BC.
6,000 - 3,000 BC
5,000 BC - the Egyptians use the bow for hunting and in warfare against the Persians.
3,300 BC - a 45 yr. old man dies on the Similaun Glacier in the Alps near the present day border between Italy and Austria. His preserved body is found on 11th. September, 1991.
After many years of research, "Oetzi" has revealed how he once lived and worked.
He was dressed in leather clothes with a grass waterproof cloak and shoes stuffed with grass as protection against the weather.
He also had a framed backpack, a utility belt containing tools, a quiver containing 14 arrows, a flint dagger and most amazing of all, a copper axe.
The reason why the discovery of the copper axe caused such interest is that it pre-dates the generally accepted development of copper smelting by almost 1,000 years.
(So now the history books have to be revised.)
After detailed analysis of body tissue and hair, it was discovered to contain high amounts of copper and arsenic, which can only come about from prolonged exposure to copper ore and the smelting process. This indicates that he mined the copper ore, probably from ancient mines found 120km. to the South in Italy and then melted the ore in a furnace to create the copper axe.
His quiver had a protective flap to keep the feathers dry on the arrows.
The wooden arrows were fitted with flint arrowheads. Some of his arrows were shorter than the others and seemed to have been made by a right-handed person indicated by the direction of the thread used to tie on the feathers. The other arrows were longer and made by a left-handed person. Why he had two different lengths of arrows remains unknown.
One possible scenario on how he lived his life is that during the winter he would travel to the copper mines. There he would mine the ore and make copper axes, possibly to trade for other items. During the summer, he would take flocks of sheep up the mountain passes to graze, maybe using his bow and arrow to protect the sheep from wolves and also for hunting. He may have traded some arrows for one of his copper axes during his travels. (For more details, see the BBC Horizon TV documentary "Ice Mummies".)
Refer also to the Primitive Archer Magazine at http://www.primitivearcher.com for more recent information.
3,000 - 1,000 BC
2,800 BC - The 'Composite Bow' first appears. The Egyptians further developed this type of bow. Made from wood, tipped with animal horn and held together with animal sinew and glue. The unstrung bow resembled a 'C' shape and required two people to string it. The bowstrings were made from 'catgut' obtained and made from sheep's intestines.
The arrows were extremely light and when used with the composite bow, could be shot 366 metres ( 400 yards ) and the armour of the day was no protection against such weapons.
The Egyptians used archers on the back of light chariots. These were organised into highly trained units able to quickly out-flank an enemy army with devastating effect.
Egyptian bow and arrows from
approx. 2,300 BC-1400 BC.
Bow length = 62"-68" (160-173cm)
Arrows made from reeds with hard foreshafts 8"(20cm) long bound into the shaft with very fine linen thread then tipped with flint heads. The fletchings are 3"(7.5cm) long feathers glued to the shafts with shellac.
Arrow length = 34"-37"(86-94cm).
Arrow weight = 0.4-0.5oz(10-14gm).
2,600 BC - Pyramids of Caral, situated about 125 km north of Lima in Peru, South America were built to form a large city complex. The large stepped pyramids even exceed the size of the pyramids in Egypt for sheer volume of material used. The neighbouring river was used to irrigate crops of cotton, which was then woven into fishing nets to trade with the coastal fishing villages in exchange for fish. This peaceful trading city was thought to exist for the next 600 years.
(Archaeological digging is still revealing how these ancient city dwellers lived.)
2,500 BC - Akkadians conquered Sumeria with infantry archers.
1,500 - 1027 BC - First mention of Crossbows in China.
1479 BC - 1426 BC - The King of Egypt, Thutmose III, was reported to be a highly skilled warrior in archery and horsemanship, often giving public displays of his skill. He expanded the Egyptian empire to cover Syria and Sudan. Many temples and monuments were built to commemorate his triumphs.
1288 BC - Battle for Kadesh between the Pharaoh Ramses II and the Hittite King, Mutallu. The highly mobile Egyptian archers on the back of chariots were able to defeat the Hittite army.
1260 BC - 1240 BC - Philoctetes had been bequeathed the bow and arrows of the Greek hero Heracles in return for lighting his funeral pyre, thus he became a notable archer. On the way to the siege of Troy he was incapacitated by a snakebite and was left behind. After a seer revealed that Troy could be taken only with the aid of Heracles' bow and arrows, the Greek warriors Odysseus and Diomedes went to Philoctetes and persuaded him to accompany them to Troy. There he was healed of his wound and killed Paris, son of the King of Troy, by which action he paved the way for the city's fall through using the 'Trojan Horse'.
1209 BC - Merneptah, son of Ramses II (Pharaoh of Egypt) used his archers to defeat an invading army of Libyans, who lost nearly 9,400 men in the battle.
1,200 - 700 BC - Assyrian archers shot from chariots while the charioteer held a shield for protection.
In China, the nobility of the time attended special schools where they were taught archery, music, rituals, charioteering, mathematics and writing.
1,000 BC - 400 AD
490 BC - 'Battle of Marathon', Athenian infantry of 11,000 men with long spears, swords and armour defeated Persian archers after a rapid charge to avoid the shower of arrows. The Persian army of 15,000 men were flanked by the infantry and lost 6,400 men killed in retreat back to their ships. The Athenians only lost 192 men. According to legend, an Athenian messenger was sent from Marathon to Athens, a distance of about 40 km(25 miles), and there he announced the Persian defeat before dying of exhaustion. The modern marathon race is based on this story.
360 BC - Macedonian - archers on horseback used to support other cavalry troops.
327 BC-326 BC - Indian prince, Porus, who ruled the region between the Hydaspes (Jhelum) and Acesines (Chenab) rivers at the time of Alexander the Great's invasion of the Punjab. Porus resisted Alexander, but with his elephants and slow-moving infantry bunched, he was out-flanked by Alexander's mobile cavalry and mounted archers in the battle of the Hydaspes. Impressed by his techniques and spirit, Alexander allowed him to retain his kingdom.
260 BC - Hannibal used cavalry archers.
250 BC - Parthians (Iran/Afghanistan) were excellent horsemen and archers. In battle they would often shoot their arrows back towards the enemy while pretending to flee.
This could be where the phrase "a Parthian Shot" became today's phrase "a Parting Shot".
221 BC - Qin Shihuang, First Emperor of China. Discovery of his 'Terracotta Army' in 1974. The burial pits contain approx. 6,000 life size figures.
Terracotta CrossBowman. He is wearing plated armour over a battle robe.
Painted Reconstruction. Colour version based on original paint samples.
Bronze CrossBow Bolts. Triangular points on circular stems; 200mm long.
Reconstructed CrossBow. Body is 720mm long. Has bronze trigger mechanism. Estimated range is 800 metres.
53 BC - Parthians tried to invade Rome with some success, but bows and arrows were not much good against garrison walls.
37 BC - Roman troops invaded Parthia, but lost many 1,000's to hit and run tactics.
200-300 AD - The late Han/Jin Period.
Bow: Length: 130 cm. Width: 0.6 cm - 3.2 cm. Thickness: 0.6 cm - 4.6 cm. Arrow: Length: 73.5 cm.

288 AD -
Sebastian commanded a company of the Preatorian Guard for the Roman Emperor, Diocletian. After his secret belief in Christianity was revealed, he refused to renounce his faith. The emperor ordered that he be bound to a stake and shot to death with arrows. He was left for dead after several arrows, but a friend discovered that he was still alive and nursed him back to health. Later he proclaimed his Faith from the steps of the Emperor's Palace.
The guards were ordered to beat him to death with clubs and his body was thrown in the sewer. His body was recovered by friends and buried in the catacombs.
376 AD - the Pope, St. Damascus, built a Basilica over Sebastian's tomb which is now one of the seven principal churches in Rome.
Now St. Sebastian is the Patron Saint of Archers.
400 - 1000 AD
434 AD - Attila the Hun - Reined as King from 434-453AD. The Huns used composite recurve bows from horseback with deadly effect on opposing armies.
The Hun kingdom was located in modern-day Hungary. Attila embarked immediately upon a series of wars extending Hun rule from the Rhine across the north of the Black Sea as far as the Caspian Sea. Some historical accounts number his army between 300,000 to 700,000 troops, which for those times, is a huge force of arms. The defeat of his army by the allied Roman and Visigoth armies at Chalons in 451 AD thwarted his first campaign into Western Europe. The following year, he invaded Northern Italy, nearly securing Ravenna, but halted at the request of Pope Leo I and returned home to his capital near present day Budapest. He died in 453 AD, supposedly choking to death of a nosebleed while in a drunken stupor after marrying another wife.
552 AD - 'Battle of Taginae', the Byzantine emperor, Justinian I sent his commander, Narses, with an army of 20,000 men into Italy, where, at the Apennine village of Taginae near the Flaminian Way, he defeated the Goths. The Goth commander, Totila, had ordered his army to use only spears, was fatally wounded. The victory, credited to imperial archers, allowed Narses to march through Italy and eventually liberate Rome.
500 - 900 AD - Byzantines used mounted archers and then a cavalry charge against the Saracen's, Vandal's, Goth's and Frank's. The Avars used mounted archers using stirrups to stand while shooting, thus increasing their accuracy.
900 AD - Byzantines changed to using archers on foot.
1000 - 1200 AD
1066 AD - The Battle of Hastings - King Harold of England was waiting for the invasion of William of Normandy.
It is believed that King Harold was killed by an arrow through the eye which resulted in victory for William.
Part of the Bayeux Tapestry showing King Harold struck by the arrow.
1099 AD - Crusades. English knights and crossbowmen attack the Mohammadean army that mainly consisted of archers on horses armed with composite bows.
1100 AD - 2nd. August. William II, King of England, is killed by an arrow shot by Sir Walter Tyrel while hunting in the new forest. Sir Walter flees the country. Also in the hunting party is William's brother who succeeds him as Henry I and immediately takes possession of the treasury. There is suspicion that this may not have been an accidental shooting to gain the throne of England.
1100-1135 AD - Henry I proclaimed that an archer would be absolved of murder, if he killed a man during archery practise.
( An ironic touch.)
1147-1149 AD - Crusades ?.
1189 - 1192 AD - Crusades. King Richard killed with a crossbow bolt shot by a defender using one of the attacking army's crossbow bolts. The bolt didn't kill Richard outright, but the wound became infected after the arrow head was cut out.
1200 to 1300 AD.
1208 AD - Temujin became Great Khan of the Mongols, better known as Genghis Khan.
The Mongols were expert mounted archers that used high stirrups which allowed them to shoot in any direction. They used composite bows ( 70 - 160 lb. draw weight ) and released the bowstring with a thumb ring that increased the killing range of the bow to 275 metres ( 300 yards.) The maximum range of their bows was about 550 metres ( 600 yards. )
The unarmoured soldiers wore silk under-shirts to minimise the injury from arrows. The loose silk shirt would wrap around the arrow head without being cut. This would allow the clean removal of the arrow by slowly pulling on the shirt, thus stopping cuts from barbed arrow heads and also reduce the risk of infection.
Their tactic against an opposing army would be to send in a small attack force, engage and then retreat with the opposing army giving chase. This small force would then lead the army to a pre-arranged ambush site, where the army would be surrounded by archers and showered with arrows. The heavy cavalry would then move in to finish off.
The Mongol army used ruthless tactics against cities, sometimes killing the entire population. This would spread fear through the region, making capture of further cities easier.
1211 - 1294 AD - The Mongol Empire spreads as far as Austria, Russia, Syria, Persia, Vietnam, Korea and China.
( See the TV Documentary "Storm from the East" which details the Mongol conquests.)
1227 AD - pipe rolls list a person named Robert Hood as a fugitive. ( Robin Hood ? )
1242 AD - Battle of Taillebourg - English army lost to French - 700 crossbowmen used.
1252 AD - 'Assize of Arms' - those men owning land worth between 40-100 shillings were required to equip themselves with a sword, dagger, bow and arrows. Those owning less than 40 shillings worth of land had to equip themselves with bow and arrows. All men between the age of 15 to 60 years old were ordered to equip themselves.
1298 AD - Battle of Falkirk - English army defeats Scots. The English knights charged the Scottish archers, scattering them, then the English archers attacked the remaining army.
1300 to 1400 AD
1307 AD - William Tell - because William refused to bow towards a hat placed on a pole as a sign of imperial power, has was ordered to shoot an apple off his son's head.( He was known as an expert crossbowman. ) He succeeded in shooting the apple.
The story of his feat also stated that he had a second crossbow bolt hidden behind his belt in case he failed and killed his son, he would have quickly reloaded and killed the official who had ordered him to shoot the apple off his son's head.
1333 AD - 19th July - Battle of Halidon Hill. Scottish army is defeated by Edward III of England demonstrating for the first time the full potential of the English Longbow in battle.
( 22,000 Scottish heavy cavalry defeated by 2,000 English archers and 500 knights.)
1340 AD - English ships of war had archers who used arrows with half-moon shaped heads to cut down the rigging of the opposing French ships.
1346 AD - 26th August - Battle of Crecy - Edward III of England leads his army against the French. Some accounts of the battle say that the English archers had kept their flax bowstrings dry by putting them under their helmets as it had been raining the day before.
The French force of crossbowmen attacked from the front, but maybe due to the rain, many misfired or the bowstrings snapped. The English archers showered them with arrows before they could reload. Most of the crossbowmen fled. The French cavalry then charged, but were decimated by the English archers.
1,542 French knights are killed with only 50 English killed.
French crossbowmen shown on the left using 'cranks' to pull the bowstring back while the English longbowmen on the right showered them with arrows.

1356 AD - 19th September - 'Battle of Poitiers' - Edward III of England defeats King John II of France. The English troops took up positions on marshy ground near a river and when the French knights charged, they became bogged and easy targets for the English archers. King John is taken prisoner and held in the Tower of London. A ransom of 3,000,000 gold crowns is demanded for his release.
1400 to 1500 AD
1400 AD - Byzantines were defeated by Turkish archers on horses.
1440 AD - The bow shown at left is a 'Centre Shot Stone Bow' from an painting dated about 1440 AD. It is interesting to note the split bowstring shown, as this type of bowstring/cable set-up has recently been used on the modern Compound Bows to do away with using the usual cable guard set-up.
1415 AD - 25th October - Battle of Agincourt - Henry V of England army was attacked by the French army near Calais. The French brought 60,000 to the field of battle, including several hundred mounted knights representing all of the most important families in France. This force faced a mere 6,000 English soldiers, mainly archers. The opposing forces faced each other for several hours waiting to see who would move first. Henry sounded the attack, whereby the archers advanced a short distance and planted a row of stakes in front of them. This prompted the French to attack with a knight's charge. This charge was repelled, but the retreating force ran into the second wave of French knights and other cavalry units. This caused mass confusion in the French attack.
The English archers continued to shower arrows down on the French until finally running out of arrows. The archers then attacked with swords, daggers and even the mallets they had used to drive in the stakes.
Some accounts state as many as 10,000 French knights and soldiers were killed, with only 100 English soldiers killed. Other accounts state only 29 English killed. Either way it was a testament to the effectiveness of organized units of archers equipped with heavy warbows against the best plate and mail armor of the time.

Examples the various types of arrow tips used during the 15th. Century.
The 'barbed' arrow tips were the most common used.
The small triangular tips without 'barbs' were used to pierce the chainmail armour.
The 'half-moon' arrow tips were used to shoot through the rigging ropes of opposing ships.
1450 AD - Earliest surviving ballad, "Robin Hood and the Monk".
1472 AD - The practise of Archery was declining due to shortage of bowstaves.
1457 AD - James II, King of England, first decreed that the sports of football and golf should be banned as they interfered with archery practise.
1477 AD - Edward IV, King of England, bans the early version of the game of cricket as it is interfering with compulsory archery practise.
1492 AD - Leonardo da Vinci. Sketch design of siege crossbow by Leonardo da Vinci, done when he was employed as a siege engineer in the court of Francis I of France.
1500 to 1600 AD
1500 - 1550 AD - The ballads about Robin Hood "Lyttell Geste of Robyn Hode".
'Robin and the Knight', 'Robin, Little John and the Sheriff', 'Robin and the King' and 'Robin Hood's death'.
Maid Marion is not part of the original stories, but may have been added to later tales.
1508 AD - The use of crossbows was forbidden in England, to increase the use of the longbow.
1509 AD - Henry VIII, King of England, at age 18 proves himself an accomplished archer.
1510 AD - King Henry purchased 40,000 yew bow staves from the Doge of Venice.
1513 AD - Sept. 9th.'Battle of Flodden', fought near Branxton, Northumberland. James IV, King of Scotland, crossed the border on 22nd. August with an army of about 30,000 men supported by artillery. Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey, gathered an army of about 20,000 to oppose him. Fearing that the Scots would retreat to the border, Surrey issued a challenge to James, who agreed to wait until September 9th. to fight. The battle began in the late afternoon. The Scots fought stubbornly, but the English 2.5 metre long bill (a staff ending in a hooked-shaped blade) proved superior to the Scottish 4.5 metre long spear and English archers proved decisive on the Scottish right. By nightfall the Scottish army was annihilated. James was killed, together with at least 10,000 of his men.
1520 AD - Henry VIII demonstrates his skill with the longbow at a summit meeting hosted by the French King, where he repeatedly shot into the centre of a target at a distance of 220 metres ( 240 yards ).
Henry VIII demonstrating his skill with the longbow.
1520 AD - the musket is invented and will soon replace the bow as a weapon of war.
1521 AD - General Cortes of Spain used crossbowmen in his conquest of Mexico.
1534 AD - King Henry orders that 30,000 bows be made and kept at the Tower of London.
1545 AD - King Henry's flagship "Mary Rose" sinks in the Solent near Portsmouth, England. The remains are recovered in 1982 from the fine silt that has preserved the hull and its contents. Over 100 longbows were found all made from fine-grained yew. The yew was shaped into a 'D' section with sapwood on the back of the bow and a thicker section of heartwood on the belly. This worked as an efficient natural lamination giving the bow strength. Boxes of arrows were also found, bound in bundles of 24 and kept apart with a pierced circular leather disc to prevent crushing the goose flight feathers. The shafts were 800mm long, 10mm diameter and made from ash wood. A nock was cut into the base of each shaft and reinforced with a v-shaped horn insert. It has been estimated that the range of these longbows with a 41 kg ( 90 lb.) draw weight could have been up to 250 metres. Also other records indicate that a practised archer could shoot up to 12 arrows per minute.
Imagine what an army of a thousand archers could do to an opposing force.
The reports of the sky darkening with arrows were a matter of fact!
Roger Ascham published his book 'Toxophilis' (Lover of the Bow) which was the first book written in English about archery.
1588 AD - 10,000 soldiers on the English fleet, armed with muskets, defeated the Spanish Armada. ( The decline of bow and arrow in warfare is now assured. )
1595 AD - all bows were ordered to be exchanged for muskets.
1600 to 1700 AD
1625 AD - Picture of a foot soldier about to release his longbow. He also holds his pike at the ready to defend against possible cavalry attack, but it is obviously also being used as a way to determine the proper elevation to hit distant targets.
He has a sword for close combat. Note the two finger draw of the bowstring.
1644 AD - Tipper Muir - last battle in which English archers were used.
1673 AD - The archery tournament known as the 'Ancient Scorton Arrow' was founded in Yorkshire, England. ( It is the oldest archery tournament still held today.)
1676 AD - The Royal Company of Archers first practised 'Clout Archery' using longbows to shoot at a 31" diameter white target at distances between 180 to 240 yards.
1700 to 1800 AD
1708 AD - One of the most notable incidents involving archery in Sikh history relates to the death of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the 10th Guru and a co-founder of the Sikh religion. In 1708, 2 Pathan assassins attempted to kill him. One stabbed him in the chest, but the Guru responded with his sword and beheaded the attacker. The other Pathan was dealt with by the Guru's guards. The Guru's wounds were tended to by a Dr. Cole, I believe. Now, around this time, Guru Gobind Singh Ji had received a gift of a new, powerful bow. While his wounds were healing, he could not resist the temptation of trying the new bow out. Sadly, drawing the bow re-opened his chest wound and it began bleeding profusely. As a result, he died in October 1708, but by then the Sikh faith was well established.
Sikhs were known to hunt game for sport and as a means of sharpening their martial skills.
It is evident from historical records and paintings, that short recurve bows were used, probably shot using a thumb ring.

June 25, 2024
Mike Tirico leads a roster of more than 150 commentators for NBCUniversal’s coverage of the Olympic Games Paris 2024, scheduled for July 26-Aug. 11 across NBC, Peacock, USA Network, CNBC, E!, GOLF Channel, Telemundo, Universo, and NBCUniversal’s digital platforms.
The roster includes Olympians and Paralympians who have won a combined 90 Olympic medals. Team NBC would have had the most gold medals (59) of any country in the Tokyo Olympics, and the second-most total medals behind only Team USA (113). A member of Team NBC has been part of Team USA in every Summer Games dating back to the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.
The lineup features the return of many of the network’s signature Olympic hosts, play-by-play commentators, and analysts with Olympic experience as well as talented new voices.
NBC Olympics commentator notes
Mike Tirico serves as NBC Olympics’ primetime host for the fourth time. Daytime hosts on NBC and Peacock include Rebecca Lowe, Craig Melvin, Ahmed Fareed, and Damon Hack. Maria Taylor hosts Late Night coverage on NBC and Peacock, marking her third Olympic assignment.
Among the Olympians on Team NBC: Four-time U.S. Olympic track & field gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross, four-time Trinidad and Tobago Olympic track & field medalist Ato Boldon, two-time U.S. Olympic gymnastics medalist Tim Daggett, three-time U.S. Olympic swimming gold medalist Rowdy Gaines, two-time Olympic swimming medalist Elizabeth Beisel, two-time U.S. Olympic women’s soccer gold medalist Julie Foudy, 2008 Beijing Olympic basketball gold medalist Dwyane Wade, 1984 U.S. Olympic volleyball gold medalists Paul Sunderland and Chris Marlowe, 2012 Olympic wrestling gold medalist Jordan Burroughs, three-time Olympic beach volleyball gold medalist Misty May-Treanor, U.S. Olympic beach volleyball gold medalist Dain Blanton, U.S. Olympic equestrian gold medalist Melanie Smith-Taylor, U.S. Olympic artistic swimming gold medalist Heather Olson, six-time Olympic swimming gold medalist Amy Van Dyken, 1998 U.S. Olympic figure skating gold medalist Tara Lipinski, two-time U.S. Olympian in figure skating Johnny Weir, and Michael Phelps, who has won more total Olympic medals (28) and gold medals (23) than anyone in history. Analysts making their NBC Olympics debut include Connor Fields (BMX Racing) and Abby Gustaitis (Rugby), who each represented Team USA in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Mallory Weggeman, five-time Paralympic swimming medalist, will soon attempt to qualify to represent Team USA at the Paris Paralympics.

"We'll need a little luck, and just shoot the way we have been the last couple of years," Brady Ellison, the world's top archer, told Newsweek.

One of the most epic, must-watch events at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics was the men's recurve team finals in archery. The American team shot about as well as any team could shoot that day. The South Koreans were just a touch better.
Despite a performance America's Brady Ellison said was "darn good" that day, the South Koreans were near-prefect.
The American trio of Ellison, Jake Kiminski and Zach Garrett took home the team silver, which matched the U.S. team's accomplishment at the 2012 Games, where they fell to Italy in the gold medal round.
Now, going into the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, the Americans are favored to make it back to the medal round. This time there won't be crowd noise in the background. Just the guys with their bows and arrows.
This year's team, comprised of Ellison, Jacob Wukie and Jack Williams, is the first group of Americans to each have shot a score of 680 during qualifying. They're not the only Olympic team to do it, though.
As Ellison told Newsweek, it will take some luck to go along with years of honing their craft and practicing their skills.
"I compare shooting archery to pro gambling," said Ellison, who won individual bronze in Rio and is currently the top-ranked archer in the world. "There's a lot of luck involved in what you're doing. In poker, you can have a great hand and lose. In archery, you can shoot good and still lose."
That's what happened in the 2016 team finals in Rio.
That's when Ellison was still playing through some nagging injuries. He had problems with his fingers and had knee surgery after those Games. That was before he and his wife, Slovenian archer Toja, had their first child. He's older, calmer and wiser now, and he's headed to his fourth Olympic Games.
"I think as you get older, you get more comfortable," said Ellison, who has a more laid-back demeanor than he did prior to Rio. "As you get older in life, you start focusing on the little stuff."
Ellison said he doesn't feel pressure, even as the No. 1 archer on the planet with a bullseye on his own back.
"I don't feel a lot of pressure," said Ellison, before he hopped on a jet and headed to Tokyo with the USA Archery team. "I think a lot of times how hard it is to stay at the top, no matter how talented you are. I think it's really hard to stay No. 1 in any sport for a long period of time."
The Americans are aiming for their first Olympic gold medal since 1996, when the team of Justin Huish, Richard Johnson and Rod White won the men's title at the Atlanta Games. Huish also won individual gold in Atlanta, which is also the last time an American won the Olympic individual gold medal.
This year's U.S. trio has a chance to win a team medal and two individual medals at the same Olympics, which has never been done by an American squad at any modern Olympic Games. Only once in history have two individuals medaled, which was at the 1984 Los Angeles Games when Darrell Pace (gold) and Richard McKinney (silver) did it. But there was no team medal.
That's also the only time two Americans won individual medals at the same Olympics.
This year's team feels they have the right ingredients to become that first team to bring home a heavier medal haul.
"I think we definitely ended up with a pretty strong and amazing team," Ellison said. "I feel that if we shoot like we did to get our spot, then we have a strong chance to win gold and a strong chance to win multiple individual medals.
"We'll need a little luck, and just shoot the way we have been the last couple of years."
Wukie was on the 2012 team that beat South Korea in the semifinals before falling to Italy. Williams, who's just 21, wasn't even shooting archery full-time yet in 2012. He received his first bow in 2013, but he quickly shot up the ranks to make the 2020 Olympic team.
Williams feels the Americans have a chance to not just win gold, but perhaps even sweep the individual awards.
"That's the goal, to win as many medals for Team USA," Williams said. "Our obvious goals are individual gold, silver and medal and a team gold. I think this is a team that can do that."
The men's team elimination round, quarterfinals and medal rounds will all be on Monday morning and afternoon (Japan time), which will be Sunday afternoon and evening in the United States.

PARIS (AP) — Many Olympic athletes take to Instagram to share news of their exploits, trials, victories and heartbreaks. After her fencing event ended last week, Egypt’s Nada Hafez shared a little bit more.
She’d been fencing for two, the athlete revealed — and in fact had been pregnant for seven months.
“What appears to you as two players on the podium, they were actually three!” Hafez wrote, under an emotional picture of her during the match. “It was me, my competitor, & my yet-to-come to our world, little baby!” Mom (and baby) finished the competition ranked 16th, Hafez’s best result in three Olympics.
A day later, an Azerbaijani archer was also revealed on Instagram to have competed while six-and-a-half months pregnant. Yaylagul Ramazanova told Xinhua News she’d felt her baby kick before she took a shot — and then shot a 10, the maximum number of points.
There have been pregnant Olympians and Paralympians before, though the phenomenon is rare for obvious reasons. Still, most stories have been of athletes competing far earlier in their pregnancies — or not even far enough along to know they were expecting.
Like U.S. beach volleyball star Kerri Walsh Jennings, who won her third gold medal while unknowingly five weeks pregnant with her third child.
“When I was throwing my body around fearlessly, and going for gold for our country, I was pregnant,” she said on “Today” after the London Games in 2012. She and husband Casey (also a beach volleyball player) had only started trying to conceive right before the Olympics, she said, figuring it would take time. But she felt different, and volleyball partner Misty May-Treanor said to her — presciently, it turned out — “You’re probably pregnant.”
It makes sense that pregnant athletes are pushing boundaries now, one expert says, as both attitudes and knowledge develop about what women can do deep into pregnancy.
“This is something we’re seeing more and more of,” says Dr. Kathryn Ackerman, a sports medicine physician and co-chair of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee’s women’s health task force, “as women are dispelling the myth that you can’t exercise at a high level when you’re pregnant.”
Ackerman notes there’s been little data, and so past decisions on the matter have often been arbitrary. But, she says, “doctors now recommend that if an athlete is in good condition going into pregnancy, and there are no complications, then it’s safe to work out, train, and compete at a very high level.” An exception, she says, might be something like ski racing, where the risk of a bad fall is great.
But in fencing, says the Boston-based Ackerman, there is clearly protective padding for athletes, and in less physically strenuous sports like archery or shooting, there’s absolutely no reason a woman can’t compete.
It’s not just an issue of physical fitness, of course. It is deeply emotional. Deciding whether and how to compete while trying to also grow a family is a thorny calculus that male athletes simply don’t have to consider — at least in anywhere near the same way.
Just ask Serena Williams, who famously won the Australian Open in 2017 while pregnant with her first child. When, some five years later, she wanted to try for a second, she stepped back from tennis — an excruciating decision.
“Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family,” Williams — who won four Olympic golds — wrote in a Vogue essay. “I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity.”
Williams welcomed Adira River Ohanian in 2023, joining older sister Olympia. And Olympia was the name that U.S. softball player Michele Granger’s mother reportedly suggested for the baby Granger was carrying when she pitched the gold-medal winning game in Atlanta in 1996. Her husband suggested the name Athena. Granger preferred neither.
“I didn’t want to make that connection with her name,” said Granger to Gold Country Media in 2011. The baby was named Kady.
The choice to combine motherhood and a sports career involves many factors, to be sure, which vary by sport and by country. Franchina Martinez, 24, who competes in track for the Dominican Republic, says more female athletes retire early than male athletes in her country, and one reason is pregnancy.
“When they get pregnant, they believe they won’t be able to return, unlike in more developed countries where they might be able to,” said Martinez. “So they quit the sport, they don’t return to compete, or they aren’t the same.”
For the sake of her career, she said, she doesn’t plan to have children in the near future: “As long as I can avoid it for the sake of my sport, I will postpone it because I am not ready for that yet.”
At the Paris fencing venue over the weekend, fans were mixed between admiration for the bravery and determination of Hafez, a 26-year-old former gymnast with a degree in medicine, and speculation about whether it was risky.
“There are certainly sports that are less violent,” said Pauline Dutertre, 29, sitting outside the elegant Grand Palais during a break in action alongside her father, Christian. Dutertre had competed herself on the international circuit in saber until 2013. “It is, after all, a combat sport.”
“In any case,” she noted, “it is courageous. Even without making it to the podium, what she did was brave.”
Marilyne Barbey, attending the fencing from Annecy in southeastern France with her family, wondered about safety too, but added: “You can fall anywhere, at any time. And, in the end, it is her choice.”
Ramazanova, who was visibly pregnant when competing, also earned admiration, including from her peers. She reached the final 32 in her event.
Casey Kaufhold, an American who earned bronze in the mixed team category, said it was “really cool” to see her Azerbaijani colleague achieving what she did.
“I think it’s awesome that we see more expecting mothers shooting in the Olympic Games and it’s great to have one in the sport of archery,” she said in comments to The Associated Press. “She shot really well, and I think it’s really cool because my coach is also a mother and she’s been doing so much to support her kids even while she’s away.”
Kaufhold said she hoped Ramazanova’s run would inspire more mothers and expectant mothers to compete. And she had a more personal thought for the mom-to-be:
“I think it’s awesome for this archer that one day, she can tell her kid, ‘Hey, I went to the Olympic Games and you were there, too.’”

Athens 1896 The Athens Games were the first occurrence of the modern Olympic Games and the running of the first marathon. Hungary sent the only national team (although it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire); most of the foreign competitors were college students or club athletes. Spyridon Louis: The First Olympic Hero and Alfréd Hajós: Into the Icy Waters. Bonus Bio: Pierre de Coubertin: Father of the Modern Olympics. Paris 1900 The Paris Games saw women competing for the first time, in a limited number of sports—sailing, lawn tennis, and golf—although the women’s events were not officially approved by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Swimming events were held in the Seine River. Margaret Abbott: A Study Break; Albert Ayat: The Master; and Alvin Kraenzlein: Rivalry Among Teammates. St. Louis 1904 Boxing made its Olympic debut in 1904. Originally scheduled to be held in Chicago, the Games were moved to St. Louis so as to combine them with that city’s world’s fair, which celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase. Felix Carvajal: How to Make Friends at a Marathon; Ray Ewry: Higher Than the Rest; and Thomas Kiely: The Long Journey. Athens 1906 While the 1906 Games—often referred to as the Intercalated Olympic Games—introduced important permanent customs, such as the parade of the competing nations’ teams around the track, these Games are not included in official IOC lists. The Games’s results were vetoed by organizer Pierre de Coubertin, for fear that more Olympics held in Greece would bolster a proposal to make Athens a permanent Olympic site (a suggestion supported by the rest of the IOC). Petitions to reinstate the 1906 Games were rejected by the IOC in both 1948 and 2003. London 1908 The London Games were the first to have an opening ceremony. New events included diving, motorboating, indoor tennis, and field hockey. Dorando Pietri: Falling at the Finish; Ralph Rose and Martin Sheridan: The Battle of Shepherd’s Bush; and Forrest Smithson: A Tall Tale. Stockholm 1912 The whole globe was represented at Stockholm—for the first time athletes came from all five continents. Electronic timing devices for track and field events and a public-address system debuted at the 1912 Games. George S. Patton: The Missing Bullet; Jim Thorpe: Glory Restored; Nedo Nadi: Following in Father’s Footsteps; and Martin Klein and Alfred Asikainen: The Match That Wouldn’t End Berlin 1916 The 1916 Games, scheduled for Berlin, were canceled because of the outbreak of World War I. Antwerp 1920 The Olympic flag was introduced at the Antwerp Games. The defeated countries of World War I—Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey—were not invited to compete, and the Soviet Union chose not to attend. Joseph Guillemot: Life After War; Duke Kahanamoku: Hawaiian Royalty; Suzanne Lenglen: The Leading Lady; and Ugo Frigerio: Leading the Band. Paris 1924 By the 1924 Games, international federations had gained more influence over their respective sports, standardizing the rules of competition, and national Olympic organizations in most countries conducted trials to ensure that the best athletes were sent to compete. Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell: Chariots of Fire; Aileen Riggin: The Girl in the Pool; Johnny Weissmuller: Before Tarzan; and Paavo Nurmi: The Flying Finn. Amsterdam 1928 The Olympic flame debuted in Amsterdam. The women’s slate gained gymnastics and track-and-field events, but the latter had distance restrictions imposed after several women collapsed while running the 800-meter race. Until the Rome Games in 1960, women were not allowed to compete in races longer than 200 meters. Paavo Yrjölä: The Farmhand; Andrew Charlton and Arne Borg: The Boy and the Sturgeon; Ethel Catherwood: Saskatoon Lily; and Hitomi Kinue: A Strong Woman. Los Angeles 1932 The Los Angeles Games featured the first Olympic Village, which was located in Baldwin Hills, a suburb of Los Angeles. The Olympic Village was for male athletes only; female athletes stayed in a downtown hotel. Uniform automatic timing and the photo-finish camera were used for the first time. Stanisława Walasiewicz: The Curious Story of Stella Walsh; Babe Didrikson Zaharias: Wanting More; and Nishi Takeichi: Friendship and Honor. Berlin 1936 The Berlin Games were the first Olympic competition to use telex transmissions of results, and zeppelins quickly transported newsreel footage to other European cities. The Games were televised for the first time, transmitted by closed circuit to specially equipped theaters in Berlin. (Distribution of newsreel footage and television highlights assisted organizers in their plans to disseminate Nazi propaganda.) The 1936 Games also introduced the torch relay, by which the Olympic flame is transported from Greece. Helene Mayer: Fencing for the Führer; Sohn Kee-Chung: The Defiant One; Eleanor Holm: From Poolside to Press Box; and Jesse Owens: The Superior Sprinter. Tokyo 1940 The 1940 Games, scheduled for Tokyo, were canceled because of World War II. London 1944 World War II was still raging in 1944, and the London Games were canceled. London 1948 The first Olympics since 1936, the 1948 Games were played while many countries were still recovering from the destruction of World War II. Germany and Japan, the defeated powers, were not invited to participate. The Soviet Union also did not participate, but the Games were the first to be attended by communist countries, including Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Poland. Dr. Sammy Lee: Doctor Diver; Károly Takács: Switching Hands; Micheline Ostermeyer: Strength and Artistry; and Fanny Blankers-Koen: The World’s Fastest Mom. Helsinki 1952 The Helsinki Games were the first Olympics in which the Soviet Union participated (a Russian team had last competed in the 1912 Games). The German (athletes from West Germany only) and Japanese teams returned to competition. Lis Hartel: Beating Polio; Emil Zátopek: The Bouncing Czech; Ingemar Johansson: When the Giant Slept; and The Hungarian Football Team: The Magnificent Magyars. Melbourne 1956 The 1956 Olympics were the first to be held in the Southern Hemisphere. Because of the reversal of seasons, the Games took place in November and December. The Melbourne Games introduced the practice of athletes marching into the closing ceremonies together, not segregated by nation. Betty Cuthbert: A Humble Champion; László Papp: Facing the Best; Rudolf Kárpáti: Last of a Long Line; and Hungary v. U.S.S.R.: Blood in the Water. Rome 1960 The 1960 Olympics were the first to be fully covered by television. Several ancient Roman sites were restored and used as venues. The Basilica of Maxentius hosted the wrestling competition, and the Baths of Caracalla was the site of the gymnastic events. The marathon was run along the Appian Way and ended under the Arch of Constantine. Abebe Bikila: Barefoot Through the Streets of Rome; Dawn Fraser: Breaking Rules and Records; Wilma Rudolph: The Chattanooga Choo Choo; and Rafer Johnson and Yang Chuan-kwang: Friendly Competition. Tokyo 1964 The 1964 Games introduced improved timing and scoring technologies, including the first use of computers to keep statistics. Volleyball and judo also made their Olympic debuts. South Africa was banned by the IOC for its racist policy of apartheid. Anton Geesink: Dutch Surprise; The Japanese Women’s Volleyball Team: The Hardest Part; Peter Snell: Tearing Up the Track; and Tamara and Irina Press: Sisters. Mexico City 1968 East and West Germany competed for the first time as separate countries in Mexico City. The 1968 Games also saw drug testing and female sex verification conducted for the first time. Bob Beamon: Beyond Imagination; Kip Keino: A Father of Kenya; and Věra Čáslavská: Out of Hiding. Munich 1972 The Soviet Union captured the gold medal in men’s basketball at the Munich Games, upsetting the United States, which until then had never lost a game in Olympic competition. Archery returned to the Games for the first time since 1920, with events for both men and women. Tragedy befell the games when the Palestinian militant group Black September staged a terrorist attack (later called the Munich massacre) at the Olympic Village against members of the Israeli team, leading to the death of 11 athletes. Dan Gable: Driven; Lasse Virén: Reviving a Tradition; Mark Spitz: The Magnificent Seven; and Olga Korbut: Winning Hearts. Montreal 1976 The 1976 Games drew more attention to the apparent problems of the Olympic movement. Questions arose about the integrity of the competition itself. Many athletes were suspected of using anabolic steroids to enhance their performance. There was also concern that the amateur spirit of the Games had been undermined by the growing commercial influence on sports in the West and the pervasive government control of athletes in the Eastern bloc countries. Nadia Comăneci: Perfection; Kornelia Ender: Victory amid Accusations; Fujimoto Shun: Putting the Team First; and Vasily Alekseyev: The Russian Bear. Moscow 1980 The Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979 led to the largest boycott in the history of the Olympic movement in 1980. U.S. Pres. Jimmy Carter took the lead in calling for a boycott of the Moscow Games, and approximately 60 other countries joined the United States in staying home. Miruts Yifter: Yifter the Shifter; Teófilo Stevenson: The Knockout Artist; Zimbabwe Women’s Hockey Team: Happy to Be Here; and Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett: The 800-Meter Duel. Los Angeles 1984 Under the direction of American entrepreneur Peter Ueberroth, the 1984 Olympics witnessed the ascension of commercialism as an integral element in the staging of the Games. The Olympics turned a profit ($225 million) for the first time since 1932. The number of events for women grew to include cycling, rhythmic gymnastics, synchronized swimming, and several new track-and-field events, most notably the marathon. Zola Budd: Collision and Controversy; Michael Gross: The Albatross; Mary Lou Retton: L.A. Dynamo; and Yamashita Yasuhiro: The Gentle Way. Seoul 1988 The Olympic rule requiring participants to be amateurs had been overturned in 1986, and decisions on professional participation were left to the governing bodies of particular sports. This resulted in the return of tennis, which had been dropped in 1924. Table tennis and team archery events were also added. Lawrence Lemieux: An Easy Decision; Eamonn Coghlan: Finishing the Race; Florence Griffith Joyner: Flash and Dash; and Greg Louganis: Surviving a Scare. Barcelona 1992 For the first time in three decades, there was no boycott. The list of sports at the Barcelona Games expanded to include badminton, baseball, and women’s judo. With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the German team was again united. South Africa, which had abandoned its policy of apartheid, returned to the Olympics with its first racially integrated team. Hassiba Boulmerka: Testing Her Faith; Derek Redmond: Between a Father and His Son; Susi Susanti: A Nation, a Sport, and One Woman; and The U.S. Men’s Basketball Team: The Dream Team. Atlanta 1996 The Games received no governmental financial support for the first time in 1996. Instead, corporate sponsors—including Coca-Cola, which supplied more than $300 million—and television rights were relied upon to defray costs. For the first time, all national Olympic committees (NOCs) invited to compete sent athletes. New sports included women’s football (soccer), beach volleyball, lightweight rowing, women’s softball, and mountain biking (cross-country cycling). The Games’ festivities were marred by the explosion of a homemade pipe bomb left among spectators at Centennial Olympic Park. The blast killed one person and injured 112 others. Carl Lewis: A Farewell; Aleksandr Kareline: Wrestling Goliath; Michelle Smith: Raising Suspicions; and Naim Suleymanoglu: Pocket Hercules. Sydney 2000 Several events were contested at the Olympics for the first time in 2000, including men’s and women’s tae kwon do, trampoline, triathlon, and synchronized diving. Other new women’s events included weightlifting, modern pentathlon, and pole vault. The Sydney opening ceremonies celebrated the history of Australia, especially the unique cultures and contributions of the Aboriginal peoples of the continent. Cathy Freeman: The Heart of a Nation; Maureen O’Toole: A First and Last Chance; and Steven Redgrave: A Rower’s Life. Athens 2004 More than 20 athletes were disqualified at the Athens Games after they failed tests for performance-enhancing drugs, and controversies over scoring in gymnastics and fencing made headlines. A record 201 NOCs were represented. Birgit Fischer: Superlative Olympian and The Argentine Men’s Basketball Team: Gold for the Golden Generation. Beijing 2008 In the months prior to the Games, a devastating earthquake in Sichuan province, international focus on China’s pollution problems, protests over China’s human rights record in Tibet, and criticism of the Chinese government’s control of information became part of the Olympics story. In the end, however, the final narrative of the Beijing Games was dominated by two historic sporting feats: American swimmer Michael Phelps broke Mark Spitz’s record for most gold medals won in a single Olympics, and sprinter Usain Bolt of Jamaica claimed the mantle of “the fastest man alive.” Michael Phelps: Eight-Gold-Medal Man (with a Little Help from His Friends); and Natalie du Toit: The Other-Abled Swimmer. London 2012 In 2012 London became the first city to host the modern Games three times (1908, 1948, and 2012)—a record held until 2024, when Paris (1900, 1924, and 2024) tied for the honor. The most-notable addition to the London program was women’s boxing, which made its Olympic debut in three weight classes. The London Games were also the first Olympiad wherein each participating country had at least one female athlete competing. Allyson Felix, Ryan Lochte, Jessica Ennis-Hill, and Kobe Bryant. Rio de Janeiro 2016 The event marked the first time that the Olympic Games—either Summer or Winter—were held in South America. The Games featured a record 205 participating NOCs, with more than 11,000 athletes competing in 42 sports. The Rio Olympics also featured the debut of a Refugee Team made up of 10 athletes from various war-torn countries who had no permanent new home at the start of the Games. Michael Phelps, Neymar, and Simone Biles. Paris 2024 The Summer Games return to Paris for the third time in modern history. With an eye to sustainability, the 2024 Paris Olympics are attempting to be the first Games aligned with the goals and recommendations of the Paris Climate Agreement. Actions include public transportation access to all venues, reuse of existing buildings and stadiums as venues, and low carbon and eco-friendly new buildings powered with 100 percent renewable energy. In total, Paris’s organizers anticipate a 55 percent smaller carbon footprint than the 2012 London Games, the first Games organized with a focus on sustainability.

May 31—HERMITAGE — A series of improvements may be coming to Rodney White Olympic Park next year, depending on a combination of state and city funding.
At its latest meeting, the Hermitage Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to apply for a grant through the Commonwealth Finance Authority's Greenways, Trails and Recreation program.
If the CFA approves the grant request, the funds would be put toward improving the park, located behind the Children's Center of Mercer County and the Hermitage municipal building on North Hermitage Road.
The park is named in honor of Hermitage native Rod White, who won a gold medal on the American archery team during the 1996 Olympics.
According to a 1996 Herald article, it was the first time in U.S. history that an American archery team won the gold in archery, while White was the first person from Mercer County to win an Olympic gold medal.
Rodney White Olympic Park opened in 1998, and includes playground equipment, benches, a soft surface and a series of trails that stretch through the nearby woods.
The area has been frequently utilized since the park's opening, although issues have developed after 25 years of use.
The soft surface is now "significantly worn" in areas with the most foot traffic around the playground equipment, and the rubber surface has become separated from the surrounding sidewalks, along with places where water has gotten underneath the surface, Hermitage City Manager Gary Hinkson said.
The surfaces on the slides are also cracked, and there is rust on decking and the joints of movable playground equipment.
City officials plan to replace this existing playground equipment and the surface, as well as the benches throughout Rodney White Olympic Park, creating a "safer playground that is updated and more appealing to children," according to city documents.
The project is estimated to cost a total of $208,620, with $177,327 provided by the CFA grant. The remaining $31,293 will be provided by local matching funds from the city's 2023 capital budget.
Following the commissioners' vote to apply for the grant on May 24, Hinkson said city officials hope to hear back from the CFA regarding the grant's status by September. If approved, the project would likely be completed sometime in 2024.

Previous articles in this series have explored archery’s return to the Olympic Games in 1972 and its amateur era from 1976 to 1992.
In 1996, the Olympics returned to North America for the largest Games yet held. Archery, along with track cycling and tennis, was held in Stone Mountain Park, a picturesque site 15 miles outside the city of Atlanta.
The wider event is perhaps best known for garish commercialisation (which ultimately led to the strict branding rules still in place today), a few organising mishaps and a terrorist incident, rather than its legacy of sporting excellence.
But the archery competitions offered up one of the greatest surprises in Olympic history.
A qualification and quota system was used for the first time in Atlanta, with the number of archers set at 128 – 64 men and 64 women – where it has remained ever since. This made archery one of the first Olympic sports to achieve equal gender participation at the Games.
The qualifying round was shortened from 144 to 72 arrows – all shot at 70 metres. After qualification, the competition went to matchplay. Individual matches in the first three rounds were decided on total score over 18 arrows and quarterfinals on over 12 arrows.
Ukraine’s Lina Herasimenko and Italian man Michele Frangilli seeded first. Frangilli set a new Olympic record of 684 points and was widely regarded as the favourite. Herasimenko’s score of 673 astonishingly stood as an Olympic record for 25 years, until the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games (held in 2021), when it was finally beaten by Korea’s eventual triple-gold-medallist An San.
One archer of whom little was expected was Justin Huish, who had scraped into the USA team as the third man. He was 19 years old, sporting earrings, a ponytail and wraparound shades under a reversed baseball cap. He looked more like a skateboarder than an archer.
Huish’s parents owned an archery shop but he hadn’t shown much interest in the sport, regarding it as “boring”, until he picked up a bow at age 14 and found he had a talent for it.
“[US coach] Lloyd Brown told me from one of the first few times I met him that I could make the Olympic team someday,” he said in 2021. “I just laughed at him.”
Coached by Brown, Huish entered the US trials for the 1992 Olympics but finished a long way off the pace.
“I just never put myself in that place, with Jay Barrs and Darrell Pace and all the greats. I just never thought I could ever beat them at that time,” he explained. “But in ’93, I started shooting the scores that those guys were shooting.”
In 1995, Huish moved to Chula Vista to practise full-time at the Olympic training centre, which had recently opened a residential programme for archers.
“I filled out an application form because I didn’t really know what I was doing with my life,” he said. “I knew I wanted to shoot, but I still didn’t really equate that the Olympics were attainable.”
Alongside fellow residential athletes Rod White and Butch Johnson, who all lived together in one room at some point, Huish buckled down and worked, winning the national championships in 1996. The three men would eventually comprise the US team for its home Games in Atlanta.
In the build-up to the Olympics, the brash Californian teenager caught the eye of the press and Huish even appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
“The questions were about winning gold medals when I just didn’t want to lose that first match. Everything after that would just be gravy,” recalled Justin. “Making the Olympic team is one thing. But, you know, actually winning the stupid thing? I mean, no way!”
Despite a lack of any prior international success, the teenager seeded a strong ninth over the qualifying round at Stone Mountain. With domestic support behind him, Huish began to tear through the men’s field. In footage of the event, you can see him growing in confidence with each match, with each win, roared on by the home crowd.
“My mind was just saying: ‘Hey, I’m an Olympian. I’m just here for the experience.’ I think that definitely helped tone down any pressure that I was putting on myself because no matter what, I had already wildly exceeded my expectations. It just felt national,” he said.
Somehow, through a quirk of fate, Huish had been assigned the number one as his athlete identifier – out of all 10,300-plus at the Games.
“Everything that happened was just like it was meant to be. It felt like I could have shot my arrow behind the target, in the opposite direction, and it would have boomeranged around and still come and hit the 10-ring. Like I could do no wrong.”
Huish beat six opponents in a row, edging out top seed and favourite Frangilli in a quarterfinal double-shoot-off and then eventually defeating Sweden’s Magnus Petersson for gold.
His world suddenly exploded.
It was three in the morning before Justin had finished the round of media interviews and got to bed, despite having to wake up and shoot the men’s team eliminations at seven the next day. (In 1996, the men’s and women’s team finals were shot on the same day – the last day of competition.)
“I should probably have said, ‘no, I can’t do all these things’, but it was just a whirlwind. I didn’t know any better,” said Huish.
The US men’s team – Justin, Rod and Butch – rose to the challenge, even if Huish claims his teammates carried him, exhausted, through the first two matches. He found the energy to eventually face the Korean men in the gold medal match.
“When I needed to come through, I did,” said Huish.
The trio shot 251 points in all four rounds of matchplay – in the then-27-arrow matches – and eventually beat Korea by two, although there was some nerve-wracking measurement required in the final end.
The victory in Atlanta remains the US men’s only team gold at the Games to date, although they did also collect back-to-back silver medals in the event in 2012 and 2016. Huish became the first male archer to ever do the double – both individual and team gold at the same Games. It wouldn’t be matched until Ku Bonchan in 2016. And Huish still remains the only non-Korean archer to take more than one gold at a single Olympics.
Korea’s women were already firmly entrenched in Atlanta. Kim Kyung Wook won individual gold and the women delivered a then-third-consecutive steamroller performance in the team competition.
The media swarm around Huish didn’t stop for a long time.
“In the US, archery gets zero love,” he said. “They don’t report on other sports, it’s pretty much baseball, NBA and NFL and that’s it.”
“But because I had the ponytail, hat on backwards and was wearing sunglasses, and not your prototypical [archery] athlete, it crossed over quite a bit into the mainstream media. Normally, you might get a mention on, like, the fourth page of USA Today. I was front page and getting all the big interviews.”
“I got to ride with vice president Gore from the basketball game to the closing ceremony, go to do a lot of stuff that would usually be left for the guy who wins the 100-metre dash.”
Huish remained on the US team until 2000 when his career and life took a sharp turn. He withdrew from the Games in Sydney after being caught selling marijuana, eventually receiving a four-month prison sentence and a two-year ban from the sport.
Nearly 20 years later, Huish made a return to serious recurve archery, working his way around the US circuit and back up the rankings. To date, he’s not ruled out a run at a potential second Games.
“The Olympic rings… for a lot of people, you know, it’s the mountain top. For some people, they’ve been training since they were four years old, and that’s all they cared about all their life,” said Huish. “But there might be two different ways to get there. I kind of took the back roads, I guess.”
In many ways, Justin Huish personified the lucky amateur, showing up essentially out of nowhere and giving one of the most thrilling performances yet seen on the Olympic stage – and subsequently being thrust into an increasingly professional spotlight. After a century of strict amateurism at the Games, the job of an Olympic Champion, even an Olympian, extended far beyond the competition field.
The Games in Sydney are often held up as the model for a modern Olympics. Sports-mad Australia put on a spectacular show and wild success across the board re-invigorated a slightly stagnant Olympic movement, inspiring new bids from potential host cities the world over.
Most archers perform the best at their very first Olympics. (It’s true.)
When Simon Fairweather, of Strathalbyn in the Adelaide Hills, won the World Archery Championships in Poland in 1991, his future in the sport seemed assured. He was 22, already an Olympian and was sponsored as a full-time athlete. What followed were nine years of frustration and unfilled expectations, with Fairweather struggling to regain the form that booked him the world title. His performances in Barcelona and Atlanta had been anonymous. He almost quit the sport more than once.
By the time he got to Sydney, it was his fourth Games, he was already 31 years old – when most previous Olympic Champions had been sub-20 – but he’d spent two years training full-time under then-Australian-coach Kisik Lee, who was one of the first but definitely not the last Korean coaches to export their expertise.
Lee’s time as a national coach in Korea had brought 16 Olympic medals – eight of them gold – and he was convinced Fairweather still had what it took.
Simon’s day of destiny came on 20 August 2000. In the gusty winds of Homebush Bay, he equalled the Olympic record for the 18-arrow match in his first round.
“I don’t remember doing anything wrong. I was very disciplined in following my routine. I barely shot a bad arrow in all my matches,” he said in 2016.
“Finals are like a staring competition. That day I was the one who didn’t blink. It was a matter of staying with the routine and excluding thoughts of other things. It’s not a time for savouring the experience and looking at the spectacle that’s unfolding around you.”
“I just told myself to keep my mind on my job, my routine. After that would be time for thinking about what it still means.”
In the gold medal match against the USA’s Vic Wunderle, Fairweather nervelessly shot 10, 10, nine to set up a lead… and never looked back, winning resoundingly, 113-106. Simon would also shoot for Australia at his fifth Olympics, four years later, before retiring and going into business.
Wunderle, for his part, made two more top-eight appearances at the Games and still shoots today.
The archery competitions at the Athens 2004 Olympics were fraught with problems – which began years prior and continued until the very last moment. Even the night before the first scoring arrows, things looked uncertain. But the event was finally held in one of the greatest venues in the history of the Games: The Panathenaic Stadium, home of the ancient Olympics.
Credit for this goes to the late Beppe Cinnirella, who called securing the location one of his proudest achievements as World Archery secretary general.
At one point, the organisers threatened to hold the archery events on an airport runway. Beppe persuaded them to divert their car via the ancient stadium.
“We stopped and had a deep look. At the meeting, we proposed the Panathenaic and obviously the answer was, ‘no chance’,” he recalled in 2017. “Slowly we overcame all the obstacles and finally we got it approved. And I still think the choice of the Panathenaic, which was my idea, was one of the best things that happened to the sport, for FITA, for the future.”
The splendour of the archery competition against the gleaming white marble became one of the key visual images of that Games, which saw an unexpected victory for Italian man Marco Galiazzo and a silver for Japan’s Hiroshi Yamamoto, an astonishing 20 years after his bronze at Los Angeles 1984.
Park Sung-Hyun, widely regarded as one of the greatest archers of all time, won the women’s title as her Korean teammates – Lee Sung Jin and Yun Mi Jin (the returning winner from Sydney) – completed a sweep of the individual podium, and then took an(other) easy team title.
Not since Darrell Pace’s dominance of the men’s field in the late 1970s and early 1980s had there been such a head-and-shoulders favourite for back-to-back Olympic titles. (Pace ultimately won his two golds eight years apart with the US team’s boycott of the 1980 Olympics in Moscow.)
But Park, who became the first recurve archer to break 1400 points on the 1440 Round in 2005, was the favourite to repeat in 2008.
The Olympics were back in Asia. China was finally awarded the Games for the first time, starting an era of major multisport events in the country. Beijing built not one but two temporary archery arenas in a major new sports park, erected specially for the Olympics, with each staging eliminations concurrently.
The effort was well rewarded.
In 2008, Korea’s women had won six straight individual titles at the Olympics. China’s Zhang Juan Juan was in no mood to allow that dominance to continue.
“I felt really pumped up when I was up against the Korean archers,” said Zhang at the time. “I had put in a lot of effort to compete with them. Even if I were to lose, I wanted to intimidate them with my performance.”
Zhang seeded just 27th but proceeded to scythe through the women’s field – including all three Koreans.
She beat Joo Hyun-Jung by five, 106-101, in the quarterfinals. (Incidentally, this was the first Olympics at which every match was decided over 12 arrows, rather than the 18 for the early phases as had been used previously.)
Then fell Yun Ok Hee, one of the most successful internationals of the late noughties, 115-109.
Park, the favourite, had shot that score – a new Olympic record – just a few rounds earlier. She was into the final, her second consecutive at the Olympics, too. But the outcome in the rain-soaked arena was no longer certain.
The Chinese archer shot a seven in the first end. But at the end of the third, Juan Juan was a point up. A nine with her last arrow sealed victory.
As with Fairweather’s win in 2000, Zhang credited her success to laser-like focus.
“I had found this incredible level of concentration and was just totally immersed in my own mind. Sometimes I couldn’t tell if the match was actually finished, because I was totally focused on my game,” she said. “I knew my opponents were very strong, but I was totally confident that I could do better than them. I did not realise until much later what I had actually achieved.”
Zhang remains the only non-Korean archer to win the women’s title at the Olympic Games since the nation’s competitive emergence in 1984.
Professionalism had begun to change the sport outside of the Olympics. Between Athens and Beijing, the Archery World Cup was launched. The elite competition circuit provided a regular competition outlet for athletes outside of major multisport events and world championships. Commercial and broadcast opportunities were starting to emerge.
London was the first city to host the Olympic Games three times.
Lord’s Cricket Ground morphed from the sacred ‘Home of Cricket’ to the ‘Home of Archery’ for a few weeks in the summer of 2012. It was the first time that the Olympic archery events would be held in another existing sporting venue.
Archers shot from just in front of the old pavilion, over the hallowed turf, towards the iconic modern media centre.
With huge temporary stands erected on the outfield of the cricket pitch, the 6500-capacity arena was a sell-out. (Spectators even turned up to watch the closed-doors qualifying rounds having fallen victim to a ticketing scam.) The stadium was packed to the rafters and the atmosphere was electric.
London saw the introduction of the set system for individual matchplay. (The team competitions remained on cumulative score.) Another change was the scheduling of both men’s and women’s early-round eliminations in the same session, streamlining the schedule and defining clear finals days – a move that will remain in place until at least Paris 2024 and probably beyond.
Korea won three of the four available medals – but the country’s men were relegated to bronze as Italy beat the USA in perhaps the most exciting Olympic team final ever witnessed.
Aida Roman and Mariana Avitia put Mexico on the archery map, taking women’s individual silver and bronze, setting the stage for the country’s ongoing competitive rise. It was the fruit of an extraordinarily successful elite programme.
Ahead of them on the results sheet was only Ki Bo Bae, who enjoyed wild popularity following the win.
She was the seventh Korean woman to be named Olympic Champion. For all the female squad’s dominance, prior to 2012, the Korean men had never crested the mountain, taking silver medals three times (in 1988, 1992 and 2008) and bronze once. But on the final day of the Games, 13-year international veteran Oh Jin Hyek achieved what none before could.
He dropped Ukraine’s defending champion Viktor Ruban in the quarterfinals, survived Dai Xiaoxiang of China in a semifinal shoot-off and then beat Japan’s Takaharu Furukawa to gold.
The success of the Olympics in London was followed by a financially-troubled Games in Rio de Janeiro. The first Olympics in South America were awarded in a period of plenty for Brazil – but by the time they took place in 2016, the landscape was vastly different.
Archery took place in one of the city’s most iconic thoroughfares, the Sambodromo, brought to life once a year for the world-famous Carnival.
Unlike the Olympic Park, which was in a suburban neighbourhood in the west, the venue was sandwiched between favelas in the city’s downtown. It was, however, perhaps the most atmospheric venue of all, with a backdrop of the Corcovado mountain and the statue of Christ the Redeemer. Across seven days of competition in wildly variable weather, the unique spot left an impression.
It was hoped to introduce the mixed team in Rio – but challenges ahead of the Games prevented it.
The competition followed the same format as London but finally brought the set system to the team events. It was also the first Olympics to utilise electronic scoring, made possible by huge laser frames erected around the targets, the first iteration of automatic arrow spotting that was implemented at World Archery events.
Korea – for the first (and to date only) time – took every available gold medal.
It was the apotheosis of a system funded to produce Olympic results, even if neither of the individual winners, Chang Hye Jin and Ku Bonchan, went into the competition as favourites. And even if neither is still considered among the pantheon of true greats.
It felt almost as if a bubble had burst.
Sure, archery was professional. But Korea was the most professional. At an Olympic Games in which the village, where athletes were living, was at least a 45-minute drive away, the team had installed a secret rest facility close to the venue.
A squad so clearly better organised, better funded and better backed had arrived… surveyed… and conquered.
Before 1992, archery was at risk of Olympic exclusion, its competition format in dire need of evolution to maintain relevance in a rapidly-evolving and television-first environment.
By 2012, the head-to-head format, a preference for iconic venues, the launch of the Archery World Cup and, finally, the set system, had earnt the sport serious respect. After London, archery’s financial status was upgraded – meaning it would receive a larger share of revenues from the Olympics. The trend continued through Rio. Media numbers and interest figures were higher than other ‘better-known’ Olympic sports.
With the mixed team finally added for Tokyo, optimism was high for Tokyo. It would be the fourth Games in Japan (including two in the winter) but the fourth to include archery.
In Yumenoshima Park – dream island park – on the edge of the water in the large bay, perched on a reclaimed landfill, a permanent archery range was erected. Nextdoor, a spectacular temporary finals arena was built with capacity for more than 5600 people. It had a design that looked, from the outfield, almost like a classical piece of Japanese architecture.
It might have been the best Olympic finals field ever constructed – but would sadly never see a paying customer. Only a handful of teammates, coaches and press would ever sit in its acreage of seats. At full capacity, you could only imagine what a theatre it would have been.
Of course, no one could have predicted what would happen in 2020.
The Olympic Games were finally held in 2021 after an unprecedented postponement and with Japan still not recovered from the swirling pandemic that upended the entire world. For the first time in Olympic history, the Games were held behind closed doors, with the venues open to television cameras and journalists – but not an audience.
Such decisions remain controversial – but not as difficult as the decision to have them go ahead. The extraordinary protective system, staffed by countless volunteers and professionals, isolated Olympic visitors and (largely very successfully) prevented any further outbreaks. For a lot of the sporting contingent, getting Tokyo over and done with was simply an immense relief.
But in the reality of the arena, despite the protocols, despite the empty seats and despite the delay, the atmosphere was… Olympic.
A record five archery medals were awarded over a record eight days.
In the intense Japanese heat, An San took a record three of those, winning first mixed team, then team and, finally, individual gold. The unprecedented haul for a single archer at a single Games propelled her into joint-fourth in the all-time Olympic medal table and made her an overnight sensation in Korea.
Tokyo also brought a first-ever archery medal for Turkey as Mete Gazoz leapt in celebration after becoming Olympic Champion.
His reaction, seconds after loosing the last arrow of his final against Mauro Nespoli, was the perfect release after an intense competition, featuring some of the closest-fought battles in Olympic history, made all the more poignant by the delays and uncertainty of the previous year-and-a-half. (And seen, on screen, as the first Games to feature on-screen heartrate figures during shooting, visualising the immense pressure on the athletes’ shoulders.)
“We’ve waited 100 years for this,” said Turkish head coach Goktug Ergin after the final.
“After 2016, after Rio, I promised myself I would be Olympic Champion next time in Tokyo,” said Gazoz, a full-time professional archer since his early teens. “I worked really hard, I did all the things necessary to be here, to be on top of the podium, and I’m really happy to be able to win this medal.”
The future of Olympic archery is bright.
The competition will be held at Invalides in Paris in 2024 – right in the centre of the city – and World Archery has proposed compound’s inclusion at LA28. If the latter is approved, a brand-new chapter will begin.
Much has changed since archery returned to the programme of the Olympic Games in 1972.
Then, the format was geared towards the history of the sport, now it balances competitive results with spectator enjoyment. Then, archery was an outsider, now it is core to the Olympics. Then, the athletes were amateurs, now they are professionals.
But at least one thing remains.
“The Olympics is a dream,” said John Williams, who won the men’s event in 1972. “And I was able to fulfil that dream.”

Business Expo
2003 Business Expo to feature
Olympic flavor, demos, booths
Motivational speaker and former
disabled athlete Craig MacFarlane
will be the luncheon speaker.
By Ruth Wright
Staff Writer
MADISON, Ind (April 2003) - The third annual Regional Business Expo, scheduled for April 24 and sponsored by the Madison Area Chamber of Commerce, this year will kick off with a luncheon at 11 a.m. at Clifty Inn. It will be followed by a commercial fair from 1:30 p.m to 7 p.m. at the Venture Out Business Center, 975 Industrial Dr. Both events are open to the public.
Motivational speaker and former disabled athlete Craig MacFarlane will be the luncheon speaker as part of the Expos Pursue the Dream theme. MacFarlane, called the worlds greatest blind athlete, is a native of Desbarats, a small town in Ontario, Canada.
Craig MacFarlane
Blinded at age two, he enrolled in the Canadian School for the Blind at age 6. He attended the school for eight years before transferring into mainstream high school. MacFarlane, 39, said he began wrestling at a young age because it was one of the few sports that provided a level playing field for a blind athlete. Competing mostly against sighted opponents, he battled incredible odds to capture more than 100 gold medals in wrestling and other sports. His impressive list of athletic activities includes wrestling, downhill skiing, water ski jumping, jet skiing, horseback riding, ice skating, snowmobiling, parasailing and golf. At age 19, MacFarlane met hockey great Gordy Howe at a celebrity charity event in Canada. Howe, a 25-year veteran of the Detroit Redwings, was impressed with MacFarlanes experiences and encouraged the young athlete to share his story with others. He invited MacFarlane to move to the United States to live with him and his wife, Colleen, in Hartford, Conn. MacFarlane accepted Howes offer and began his freelance speaking career. For about eight years he traveled around the country sharing his inspiring life story with various groups. MacFarlane was hired by Edward Jones Investments as a goodwill ambassador about 12 years ago and continues to travel and speak throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
The late sportscaster Howard Cosell once said of MacFarlane, Ive covered the sports beat for nearly 40 years of my life and worked with the great ones first hand Jackie Roosevelt Robinson, Muhammed Ali, John Unitas, Johnny McEnroe you name them. But I must tell you the most remarkable athlete I have ever seen, ever known, is Craig MacFarlane.
MacFarlane said he shares many humorous events of his past, both in and out of the athletic arena, with his audiences. He also tries to impart the sense of pride and dignity he has acquired by overcoming powerful odds to accomplish his goals. MacFarlane credits his success to supportive parents and a strong will to succeed.
I never wanted people to say, He lost because hes blind. I wanted people to see it as a minor inconvenience, not a handicap, MacFarlane said during a recent telephone interview.
MacFarlane makes more than 200 public appearances each year. He will appear in Madison as a guest of Edward Jones Investments representative Ann Suchocki. Craig is a very powerful and inspirational speaker, said Suchocki. I had the pleasure of first hearing Craig speak over 15 years ago, and several times since then. He is truly a role model for all ages.
MacFarlane made his first visit to Madison for Edward Jones about 10 years ago to speak at area schools.
He said he looks forward to returning to the area.
Kelly Garrison
Also featured at the Business Expo will be former U.S. Olympic gymnast Kelly Garrison of Indianapolis, and former U.S. Olympic archers Richard Butch Johnson and Rod White. U.S. Olympic archery hopeful Jason McKittrick of nearby Holton, Ind., also will appear.
Garrison, captain of the 1988 U.S. Olympic womens gymnastics team, will demonstrate some of the skills that made her a champion on the balance beam. As a measure of her innovative spirit, she has four gymnastic skills named after her, more than any other U.S. athlete. She currently lives in Carmel, Ind.
McKittrick is a target archery shooter. He has competed in the sport since age 15 and has won numerous competitions including two first place awards at the 2002 AZ Cup and the 2002 Gold Cup. McKittrick has a bachelors degree in agricultural engineering from Purdue University and hopes to represent the U.S. at the 2004 Olympic games. He has been a member of the U.S. Archery Team since 1997 and has traveled across the nation and to eight foreign countries to compete.
Johnson is a three-time Olympian and member of the gold-medal winning U.S. mens archery team at the1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. He hopes to rejoin the U.S. team for the 2004 Olympics. An archer for nearly 30 years, Johnson spends six to seven days each week practicing the sport. He has competed internationally and is a four-time U.S. National Outdoor Champion and eight-time U.S. National Indoor Champion. Johnson is from Worcester, Mass. He currently resides in Woodstock, Conn.
Ron White
White is also a gold medalist with the 1996 U.S. Olympic archery team who hopes to join the team in 2004 for his third trip to the Olympics. White, a Mt. Pleasant, Iowa native, finished fourth at the 2000 Olympic trials, earning a spot on the U.S. Archery Team. He was also a member of the 1995 World Champion Indoor mens Olympic bow team.
Garrison will give a motivational speech at the expo and will also join MacFarlane, McKittrick, Johnson and White in a Roundtable of Champions.
The Business Expo kickoff luncheon will take place at the Overlook Room at Clifty Inn. Luncheon tickets are $25 and can be purchased through the Madison Area Chamber of Commerce office. Admission is free to the Expo, which will feature childrens activities and a food vendor.
The Business Expo is a showcase for businesses in southeastern Indiana. More than 50 local businesses are expected to exhibit at this years event.
Our expo has a dual purpose, said event chairman Geoff Walburn, On one hand it serves local businesses and professions of all trades by allowing them to showcase their products and-or skills. At the same time, it also allows the public to see all that our local businesses have to offer.
Four-Star sponsors for the event are Ann Suchocki-Edward Jones Investments, WORX-WXGO, WIKI-FM, and the Madison Courier; three-star sponsors are Steinhardt Heating & Cooling and Ivy Tech State College; two-star sponsors are Clifty Engineering Tool & Die Co., Hanover College, Midwest Gym Supply and RoundAbout Madison; one-star sponsors are Madison Precision Products, Froggy Radio, Heritage Community Bank, Hoosier Hills Realty, MIDCOR, Rivertown Chiropractic, Timbers Custom Signs and Vevay Newspapers.

Cincinnati has had more than a dozen athletes take home gold medals from the Olympics over the years.

Nearly a dozen athletes with Cincinnati ties are competing in the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, hoping to bring hardware back to the Queen City in soccer, rowing, swimming, sport climbing and more.
Carson Foster from Mason might be the favorite for gold in the 400-meter individual medley after he beat out the most recent gold and silver medalists in that event at US Olympic trials last month. Rose Lavelle and the US women’s soccer team will always be mentioned among favorites for gold in women’s soccer. Nina Castagna from Walnut Hills will be the coxswain for the women’s rowing eight, a team that has won three of the last four gold medals.
There are more athletes who have a chance to medal in Paris, but this contingent wouldn’t be the first gold medalists from Cincinnati.
Throughout the last 100 years, the Cincinnati area has produced some of the best Olympic athletes in the history of the modern games. Darrell Pace from Reading is considered by many to be the best American archer ever. Swimmer Gary Hall Jr. won five gold medals across three different Olympics. Bob Schul became the first (and still today the only) American to win the 5,000-meter track race while a student at Miami University.
Here's a look at the Cincinnatians who have earned gold medals at past Olympics:
William DeHart Hubbard, 1924 Paris Olympics, long jump
Cincinnati ties: Hubbard was an athletic star at Walnut Hills High School before going to the University of Michigan, where he was the first black varsity track letterman.
Olympic results: On his first long jump attempt of the qualifying round, Hubbard was injured and couldn't finish the round. His first jump was enough to qualify him for the final, however. Hubbard leaped 24 feet, 6 inches (7.47 meters) in the 1924 Olympic final to win the gold, the first African American to win an individual gold medal. He qualified for the long jump again in 1928 but finished 11th.
After the Olympics: After graduating from college, Hubbard worked as the supervisor of the Department of Colored Work for the Cincinnati Public Recreation Commission. Later, he became the manager of a public housing project in Cincinnati, before he moved to Cleveland to be a race relations adviser for the Federal Housing Authority. He also founded the Cincinnati Tigers, a baseball team that played in the Negro Leagues.
Mae Faggs, 1952 Helsinki Olympics, track, 4x100 meter relay
Cincinnati ties: Faggs grew up and went to high school in New York, but after graduating from Tennessee State, Faggs earned a master's degree from the University of Cincinnati and lived in the area until her death.
Olympic results: Faggs participated in three Olympic games: London in 1948, Helsinki in 1952 and Melbourne in 1956. She won gold in Helsinki for the women's 4x100 meter relay and then a bronze medal in Melbourne for the same race.
After the Olympics: She taught physical education around the Cincinnati area and eventually started working at Princeton High School. She led the Princeton girls' track and field team to the Ohio state championship in 1989. In 2000, she died at her home in Woodlawn, a village just north of Cincinnati.
Jerry Lucas, 1960 Rome Olympics, basketball
Cincinnati ties: Lucas is from Middletown and starred at Middletown High School, where he led the Middies to a 76-1 record and two state championships during his three years on varsity. In his last high school game, the 1958 state championship, Lucas lost his only high school game, 63-62 to Columbus North.
Olympic results: After helping lead Ohio State to the 1960 NCAA championship, Lucas was selected for the 1960 US Olympic team. Lucas scored 21 points in the gold medal game as the United States defeated Brazil for the gold.
After the Olympics: Lucas went on to have a storied career in professional basketball, leading him to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1980. He played for the Cincinnati Royals from 1963 to 1969 before being traded to the San Francisco Warriors. He won the NBA Championship in 1973 with the New York Knicks. Across his 11-year pro career, Lucas was a seven-time All-Star and was named to an All-NBA team five times.
Bob Schul, 1964 Tokyo Olympics, track, 5,000 meter run
Cincinnati ties: Schul was born in the suburbs of Dayton, but he won Olympic gold while a student at Miami University. He graduated from Miami in 1966, two years after winning in Tokyo.
Olympic results: Schul competed in just one Olympics, winning gold in the 5000-meter race in 1964 with a time of 13 minutes, 38 seconds. He's still the only American to ever win gold in the 5,000-meters.
After the Olympics: Schul retired in 1965 due to knee issues. In 1973, he started a men's cross-country team at Wright State, which he coached until 1981 when the program shut down. The program returned in 1999, and Schul was the coach from then until 2006. He died in Middletown on June 16, 2024 at the age of 86.
Darrell Pace, 1976 Montreal and 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, archery
Cincinnati ties: Pace is originally from Reading and currently lives in Hamilton.
Olympic results: Pace is the only Olympic archer ever to win two individual gold medals. He won individual gold in 1976 and 1984, and he just might have won a third if the US didn't boycott the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. Pace also won silver in the team competition in the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
After the Olympics: Pace worked for the Department of Natural Resources for years, while also coaching archers of all ages.
Joseph Hudepohl, 1992 Barcelona (4x100 meter freestyle) and 1996 Atlanta Olympics (4x200 meter freestyle)
Cincinnati ties: Hudepohl was raised in Finneytown and graduated from Saint Xavier in 1992. He swam for the Cincinnati Marlins as a kid.
Olympic results: As the youngest member of the 1992 United States swimming team at the Barcelona Olympics, Hudepohl won a gold medal with the 400-meter freestyle relay team. He also won a bronze with the 4x200 meter freestyle relay team. At the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Hudepohl won a gold with the 4x200-meter freestyle relay team.
After the Olympics: Hudepohl graduated from Stanford in 1997, and he currently resides in Atlanta and works in finance.
Amanda Borden, 1996 Atlanta Olympics, gymnastics team competition
Cincinnati ties: Borden was born in Cincinnati and attended Finneytown Secondary Campus.
"Coming back to Cincinnati after the Olympics, I had no idea how proud everyone was going to be," Borden said in an interview with the Enquirer. "We had parades, autograph signings, all of this stuff that I never could've imagined. There was a lot of pride.
Olympic results: After narrowly missing out on the Olympics in 1992 as a 15-year-old, Borden made the games in 1996. She was the captain of the US gymnastics team that became the first American women's team ever to win an Olympic gold, nicknamed the Magnificent Seven.
"My roommate Jaycie Phelps and I couldn't sleep the next night," Borden said. "We just kept looking at the medals. We couldn't believe they were ours."
After the Olympics: Borden now lives in Arizona, where she owns two gymnastics training facilities. She says that around Olympic time, she sometimes brings her medal into the gym to show kids and their parents what hard work can lead to. She has also appeared on CBS Sports, Fox Sports, TBS and ESPN as a commentator for gymnastics and cheerleading events.
Jaycie Phelps
Cincinnati ties: Phelps grew up in Greenfield, Indiana, but she trained at Cincinnati Gymnastics Academy and graduated from Northwest High School.
Olympic results: Phelps is another member of the 1996 Olympic gold medal US women’s gymnastics team, the Magnificent Seven. That is the only Olympics she competed in.
After the Olympics: Phelps tried to make a comeback for the 2000 Olympics, but ultimately, she failed to qualify and retired. Phelps later opened her own gymnastics gym.
Gary Hall Jr., 1996 Atlanta (400 meter freestyle, 400 meter medely), 2000 Sydney (50 meter freestyle, 4x100 meter freestyle) and 2004 Athens Olympics, 50 meter freestyle
Cincinnati ties: Hall was born in Cincinnati.
Olympic results: Hall achieved the rare and impressive feat of winning gold medals across three different Olympics. In total, Hall won 10 Olympic medals, five of which were gold.
After the Olympics: Hall, long known for his eccentric personality, currently serves on the board of the National Youth Sports Health and Safety Institute. In 2006, Hall and his sister survived a shark attack, with Hall reportedly punching the Shark multiple times before his sister speared it.
Heather Mitts, 2004 Athens, 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics, women's soccer
Cincinnati ties: Heather Mitts was born in Cincinnati and attended St. Ursula Academy.
Olympic results: Mitts won Olympic gold with the US women's soccer team three times, in 2004, 2008 and 2012.
After the Olympics: Mitts announced her retirement from soccer in 2013. Currently, she is working on getting a professional women's soccer team in Philadelphia.
Bryan Volpenhein - 2004 Athens Olympics, rowing-eight
Cincinnati ties: Originally from Cincinati, Volpenhein graduated from Kings High School. He didn't start rowing during his childhood in Cincinnati, he started when he got to Ohio State. He credits luck and good genetics for helping him get to the Olympics so soon after starting to row. He graduated from Ohio State in 2002 and was named USRowing Male Athlete of the Year that same year and in 2004. He's the only two-time winner of the award.
Olympic results: Volpenhein and the US men's eight won the gold medal at the 2004 Games in Athens and bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Volpenhein was also a part of the 2000 Olympic team.
After the Olympics: Volpenhein is currently the head coach of the rowing program at Oklahoma City University. His wife is the head coach of the rowing program at the University of Oklahoma.

An Olympic sport that debuted in 1900, archery was a mainstay of the early Olympics through 1920, but fell out of favor, not to return until 1972. Since then, however, it's been a consistent presence and the 2024 Paris Games will be no different.
Team USA is sending four archers – one man and three women – to the City of Light in search of the nation's first gold medal in the event since 1996.
In Olympic archery, athletes are judged primarily based on their scoring accuracy, which reflects their ability to consistently hit the target’s scoring zone, with higher scores awarded for closer shots to the center.
Judges also assess the archer’s technique, including stance, draw, anchor, and release. Consistency throughout the competition, both in performance and adherence to rules, is crucial for athletes aiming to end up in top rankings and placements.

Four-time Olympian Brady Ellison leads the roster in Paris. The 35-year-old three-time Olympic medalist is gearing up for his last shot at Olympic glory. Ellison came into the 2020 Tokyo Games ranked No. 1 in the world, but fell short during the quarterfinals and lost to Mete Gazoz of Turkiye.
World No. 1 Casey Kaufhold, 20, is leading the U.S.'s women’s roster. Kaufhold began archery at a young age. In 2023, she became the first American woman to hold the World No. 1 ranking in women's recurve, per her Team USA profile. She's hoping to become the first U.S woman to win an individual medal since 1976, when Luann Ryon won gold in Montreal.

In a 2024 interview with Team USA, Kaufhold spoke to what extent Ellison has inspired her career thus far as gear up for the Olympics. “So, the thing that he’s taught me is that no matter where you are, just step up there and do the same thing you do every time.” She said. “It’s nothing special. It’s still the same you, the same bow, the same arrow, and the same target.”

“We are all genuinely excited,” said Kaufhold. “The dream of winning gold is no longer just a dream, it’s now the goal.”

How to watch
Every day during the Summer Olympics, NBC will offer fans at least nine hours of daytime coverage of the Games’ most exciting events, including live finals coverage of swimming, gymnastics, track and field, and more. Considering the time difference (Paris is six hours ahead of the U.S.’s eastern time zone), fans will be able to watch the day’s most popular events live on NBC in the morning and afternoon. NBC will also deliver an enhanced Olympics primetime show each night, providing three hours of must-see entertainment.
In addition, every event from the Summer Olympics will be broadcast live on Peacock, which will be home to an innovative Olympics hub that will include "curated rails of live and upcoming events, dedicated in-depth hubs for nearly 40 sports, medal standings and an interactive schedule."

It didn't take long for Brady Ellison to see that Casey Kaufhold was heading toward greatness.
Ellison is a former world No. 1 men’s archer who is heading to his fifth Olympics this year. He said when he first started teaming up with Kaufhold in 2019, the 15-year-old sometimes would beat him when they practiced. They won gold for the United States in the mixed team category at the Pan-American Games that year.
“The beauty of the archery is that you get these talented people, and it doesn’t really matter how old they are, they can hit,” Ellison said. “And I knew that she was good. Like, as soon as she made the World Cup teams and she was (an under-18) shooter that was making our senior teams, she was one of the best in the country. And if she made the team, any team that we were on, we had a chance to win."
The fact that Ellison was a former world No. 1 resonated with Kaufhold, now 20 years old, and drove her to reach that status last year on the women's side. She became the first American woman to reach the top of the Sanlida World Archery rankings since they were established in 2001. She tops the recurve category.
"That was huge for me,” she said. "And I wanted to be that. And so to accomplish that at 19 for the first time, that was like — I always knew I was going to get there, but never in a million years would I have imagined it would have been at 19.”
The rising star from Lancaster, Pennsylvania looks to become the first American to win Olympic gold in archery since 1996. She could become the first American woman to claim an individual medal since 1976, when Luann Ryon won gold in Montreal.
Kaufhold also will participate in the team event with Catalina Gnoriega and Jennifer Mucino-Fernandez.
Kaufhold qualified for the Tokyo Games at age 17 but didn't medal. She considered her performance disappointing and said she learned the cost of not trusting herself.
“Even though it is on the Olympic stage or even though there are however many people watching on TV, like, it doesn’t doesn’t change your shot,” she said. "It doesn’t change that the target is the same distance away as it always is, even though the surroundings might be different, it’s still you, your bow and the target, and you shouldn’t change the way you think or the way you shoot.”
What she considered a slump continued when she finished fourth at the youth world championships after the Olympics.
She bounced back. Perhaps her most important medal was the silver she earned at the world championships later that year.
“That was huge for me,” she said. “That was my first individual international medal. And so that was just a huge confidence booster. And I feel like that experience has carried a lot with me throughout my last few years of my career.”
She has continued to thrive since. Last year, she won the Olympic test event in Paris, which led to her No. 1 ranking. It was among three straight top-four finishes for her in World Cup events.
She won gold in the mixed team and team events and bronze in the individual event at the Pan-Am Games later that year in Santiago, Chile.
This year, she won gold in the individual and team events at the Pan-American Championships in Medellin, Colombia.
Kaufhold said her parents have helped. Rob Kaufhold is the founder and president of Lancaster Archery Supply and Carole Kaufhold is the CEO.
“They have a beautiful facility for me to shoot in, all the equipment that I would ever need," Casey Kaufhold said. “And that’s just like such, such a huge part of archery is just having a facility to shoot, and having access to equipment. And so that’s been super helpful just in my training and being able to try a bunch of different things with my setup and being able to shoot in every day at such a nice facility.”

Former Hermitage resident Rod White also fell short.
VINDICATOR STAFF/WIRE REPORTS
MASON -- John Burkett, 21, a native of Sharpsville, Pa., placed eighth and last in the finals of men's recurve competition at the USA Olympic Archery Team Trials Saturday at Heritage Park, and failed to qualify for the 2004 Summer Olympics.
After the fifth day of shooting and 29 total matches Saturday, Burkett, who now lives in McDonald, Pa., finished with 4,422 points.
The top three finishers qualified for the U.S. team for the Summer Olympics, held in Athens, Greece, in August, while the fourth-place finisher is an alternate.
The three qualifiers were Vic Wunderle (Mason City, Ill., 4,610); Butch Johnson (Woodstock, Conn., 4,567); and John Magera (Carterville, Ill., 4,472).
The alternate is Jason McKittrick (Holton, Ind., 4,461).
The other finishers
Rounding out the finals field were Joe McGlyn (Floral Park, N.Y., 4,456); Scott McKechnie (Orange, Calif., 4,444); Guy Krueger (Blessing, Texas, 4,429); and Burkett.
Johnson, 48, is a three-time Olympian and is ranked No. 1 in the U.S., while Wunderle, 28, is ranked No. 2.
Magera, 34, is a newcomer who first bought an Olympic style recurve bow last June, after shooting traditional bows since he was 3 years old. His first competition was the Prairie State Games in Illinois last June.
Burkett did well early in the meet to make it to the final eight. The field was reduced from the original 64 shooters to 16 after Wednesday and eight after Thursday for Friday's and Saturday's round-robin competition.
Burkett held fourth place after Thursday's sessions with 2,937 points.
The top three at that point were Wunderle (3,022), Johnson (3,001) and Magera (2,960).
White 16th
Rod White, formerly from Hermitage and now of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, was 16th after Thursday with 2,832 and did not advance to Friday's competition.
White is a two-time Olympian. He was a member of the 1996 U.S. team that won the gold medal and the 2000 team that won the bronze.
Burkett has been a member of the U.S. national team the past five years, after advancing rapidly through the junior ranks. He started shooting when he was 13.
Burkett's biggest achievement to date was winning the Arizona Cup April 7 in Phoenix, beating many of the most prominent archers he is facing this week.
Nichols is top woman
On the women's side, No. 1-ranked Jennifer Nichols of Cheyenne, Wyo., who dominated the entire tournament, finished far ahead in first place with a score of 4,510.
Nichols will compete on her first Olympic Team in Athens along with Stephanie White-Arnold of Portland, Ind., who finished in second with 4,251; and 50-year-old, two-time Olympian Janet Dykman of El Monte, Calif., third with 4,227.
Placing fourth to be named alternate was 16-year-old Kendra Harvey of Rio Rancho, N.M., with 4,205.
The Olympic Games will be held August 13-29, with archery slated Aug. 15-21 at the Panathinaiko Stadium, where the first Modern Olympic Games were held.
