The world famous Lord’s Cricket Ground, commonly 

referred to as The Home of Cricket, will 

welcome a new sport into its domain this summer. 

On 27 July 2012, Lord’s will become The 

Home of Archery for the London Olympic Games. 

Much has changed in the archery family since 

the Beijing Olympic Games and participants 

from a record of 55 countries will compete for 

archery’s four Olympic gold medals in what will 

be the most competitive field yet encountered. 

Archery’s history is linked to Britain: the five 

colours on the target originated in the English 

Archery Rounds. Although we have since added 

more scoring rings, the target’s size of 122cm 

has never changed. We are also coming to the 

home country of the former World Archery President, 

Mrs Inger K. FRITH. Mrs FRITH brought 

archery back to the Olympic Games in 1972. She 

would have likely been proud of her sport competing 

at Lord’s, although she probably would 

have preferred the All Whites rule for uniforms 

that is maintained for Cricket Test Events. 

The Paralympic Games originated in Stoke Mandeville. 

We look forward to hosting Paralympic 

Archery at the Royal Artillery Barracks. We are 

eagerly anticipating the Paralympic Games, 

which demonstrate the incredible level of competition 

that athletes who have disability are 

able to achieve. 

In terms of the competition format, we will see 

the set system for the individual competition for 

the first time at the Olympics. It was successfully 

used in Singapore for the Youth Olympic 

Games and at all major competitions since 2010. 

Lord’s is a magical venue where sports history 

has already been made. It has been said that 

there was already an archery demonstration 

by the Sioux Indians that was organised by 

the venue’s namesake, Thomas LORD, in the 

19 th century. Although the sport has changed 

considerably since those days, the heritage of 

our sport will be linked to the Pavilion, which is 

truly a fantastic place. Walking out of the Pavilion 

to go to the field of play is magic that will 

be experienced by all of the athletes at these 

Olympic Games. 

We would like to wish good luck to all the 

athletes and we would like to thank really everyone 

involved in this archery competition at the 

London 2012 Olympic Games. We are looking 

forward to a memorable time at Lord’s, where 

the historical field contrasts the state-of-the-art 

media centre. Just like archery—a modern sport 

with a strong heritage.

Welcome to Lord’s, Home of Archery for the London 2012 Olympic Games

OLYMPIC 

GAMES 

London 2012 Olympic Games, 27 July - 12 August 

( Archery : 27 July – 3 August ) 

Archery was a sport in the Olympic Games 

from 1900–1920. In 1972, archery became 

a permanent part of the Olympic programme. 

There are 64 men and 64 women competing 

in the recurve division, for individual and 

team events in London. There will be four new 

Olympic champions : Individual Men, Individual 

Women, Team Men, and Team Women. 

In the Ranking Round, the athletes shoot 

72 arrows at a distance of 70 metres. 

In the Olympic Round (matches), the number 

1 individual qualifier (seed) shoots against 

number 64, and so on… 

Individual matches are best of five sets of 

three arrows. The athletes shoot in alternate 

format and have 20 seconds per arrow. The 

first archer to six set points is the winner. 

If after five sets the scores are tied at 5-5, 

the match goes to sudden death, where both 

archers shoot one arrow each (alternately). 

The arrow closest to the centre wins. 

Each nation that qualified three athletes of 

the same gender can also compete in the 

team competition. 

In the team matches, each team shoots 24 

arrows—4 ends of 6 arrows. They have only 

2 minutes in which to shoot 6 arrows. Each 

team member shoots 2 arrows per end, 

shooting only one arrow at a time. Teams 

alternate shooting after every 3 arrows. 

The archery competition will take place 

at the famous Lord’s Cricket Ground. 

For more details please refer to the 

Competition and Equipment 

sections.

Lord’s is named after the 

Ground’s original founder, 

Thomas LORD. 

The Design and Build 

Total number of countries represented 

in team and individual events : 55. 

This is a record for archery in 

Olympic history. 

Lord’s has long been seen as the Home of 

Cricket, the game’s spiritual headquarters 

and perhaps the most important single place 

in world cricket. Its owner, Marylebone Cricket 

Club, has been based at Lord’s since 

1814, and is the owner and maker of the 

Laws of Cricket and guardian of the Spirit of 

Cricket. The venue hosts cricket at all levels 

of the game, from school and village fixtures 

to international Test. During the London 2012 

Olympic Games, it will be the Home of Archery. 

In the London 2012 Olympic Archery Competition, 

archers will shoot from the front of 

the 19 th century Pavilion—a historical and 

protected building in Great Britain and whose 

Long Room has hosted the highest dignitaries 

over the years—and across the hallowed 

cricket square towards the Media Centre. 

Commissioned for when Lord’s hosted the 

1999 Cricket World Cup, the Media Centre 

has won many awards for its modern, almost 

futuristic design. 


Venue 

13

Competitions 

The road to London : 

qualifications of 64 men and 

64 women 

Two teams of three athletes from the host 

country. 

The top 8 teams of three archers and eight 

individual archers per gender qualified 

based on 2011 World Championships. 

Thirteen athletes from various Continental 

Qualifications Tournaments held in 2011-12. 

Three teams of three archers from a Final 

Team Qualification Tournament (during World 

Cup Stage 3 in Ogden, USA, 18-24 June 

2012). 

At least four individuals from a Final Individual 

Qualification Tournament (during World 

Cup Stage 3 in Ogden, USA, 18-24 June 

2012). 

Three invitation places. 

Any NOC that qualified three archers will 

present a team at the Olympic Games. All 

qualification places are earned by the NOC. 

Changes from last Games 

Individual will play matches out of 5 sets of 3 

arrows. 

Tie-breaks are played out of one arrow 

closest to centre for individuals. 

For teams, each team member will shoot a 

single extra arrow in a shoot-off. The team 

with the highest score will win. If the score is 

still tied, the team that has the arrow closest 

to the centre wins ! 

Women’s and men’s matches will alternate 

during the 1/32 and 1/16 elimination rounds. 

Scoring 

The target face has 10 concentric scoring 

rings (two per colour), scoring from 1 to 10 

points. Hence the outside scoring ring is 

worth 1 point and the inside ring is worth 

10 points. For all details please consult the 

Equipment section. 

Competition Format 

Athletes shoot a 70m Round in qualifications, 

12 ends of 6 arrows. The maximum number 

of points is 720. 

Archers are ranked based on the number 

of points. 

The top 64 archers are paired for the up-coming 

match-play (called the Olympic Round) 

—the No. 1 qualifier against No. 64, No. 2 

against No. 63, etc. 

All archers must meet Minimum Qualifications 

Standards (MQS) : they are of 1230 

points for men and women in a FITA Round 

and 625 points for men and 600 points for 

women at a 70m Round. 

Out of the 12 teams participating, the top 

4 in qualifications receive a bye for the 1/8 

elimination round. The No. 5 will play against 

No. 12, No. 6 against No. 11, etc. 

Not more than two teams of three archers 

from one NOC team can compete. The NOCs 

could qualify either a team of three athletes 

or one archer per gender, so a maximum of 

six participants.

Individual Matches 

Athletes play matches out of 5 sets of 3 

arrows. 

The winner of each set—the athlete who 

gets the highest cumulative score with his 

three arrows—gets 2 set points. 

If the set is tied each athlete gets 1 set point. 

The winner of the match is determined by 

the number of set points won, not the score 

of the arrows. 

The match winner is the first to reach 6 

set points. 

The match will finish once the 6 set points is 

reached within the 5 sets. 

If the match is tied, a one-arrow (only!) 

shoot-off will be used to break the tie. The 

archer whose arrow is closest to the centre 

(if needed it will be measured) gets 1 extra 

point and wins. 

Athletes alternate to shoot each arrow and 

have 20 seconds per arrow. 

Here is an example of a recurve individual match 

First set 

Athlete A shoots : 10, 10, 9 = 29 

Athlete B shoots : 10, 9, 10 = 29 

Both athlete A and B earn 1 set point. 

The score is tied at 1-1. 

Second set 

Athlete A shoots : 10, 10, 10 = 30 


Athlete A earns the two points. He leads 3-1. 

Third set 

Athlete A shoots : 10, 10, 8, = 28 


Athlete B earns the two points. He tied the 

match at 3-3. 

Fourth set 



Athlete B takes the lead 5-3. 

Fifth set 



Athlete A earns the two points and ties the 

match at 5-5. A one-arrow shoot-off is required 

to break the tie (to earn the extra set point). 

Shoot-off 

Athlete A shoots : 10 

Athlete B shoots : 10* 

Let’s measure that the arrow of the athlete B 

is the closest to centre and wins ! 

On the match chart results, 

the score would be shown as : 

Athlete A: 5 (29, 30, 28, 27, 29; T10) 

Athlete B: 6 (29, 22, 30, 30, 28; T10*) 

*Closest to centre 

Team Matches 

Each nation with 3 athletes of the same 

gender in the same division can also compete 

in team competition. 

In the team matches, each team shoots 

24 arrows—4 ends of 6 arrows. They only 

have 2 minutes to shoot 6 arrows. Each 

team member shoots 2 arrows per end, 

shooting only one arrow at a time. Teams 

alternate shooting after every 3 arrows. 

The team with the highest score at the end 

wins the match. 

In case the two teams have a tied score, 

each team member will shoot a single extra 

arrow in a shoot-off. The team with the 

highest score will win. If the score is still 

tied, the team that has the arrow closest 

to the centre wins ! 

Elimination and Final Matches are like an intense 

tennis tournament, sometimes in one day ! 

The head-to-head competition combines simplicity, 

excitement and suspense. 

Ranking 

There will be a gold medal and a bronze 

medal match (only one bronze medal is 

awarded). 

The quarterfinalists are ranked first based 

on their set points, and then in their total 

arrow points. 

For the other rounds, the retired athletes/ 

teams are all ranked in the same position, 

i.e. 9th, 17th and 33 rd . 

Penalties / Disqualification 

Rules 

There are set penalties for infractions. The 

most common are: loss of the value of any 

arrow shot after the allocated time and having 

to return behind the waiting line in case 

of an incorrect relay in the team event. 

Protests/Appeals 

A participant can appeal any unfair issue, 

with the exception of the value of a judged 

arrow. 

Differences with World 

Championships and World Cup 

There are more participants in the World 

Archery Championships (more than 500 

from about 80 countries) and at the World 

Cup (usually more than 300 from 50 

countries) 

The archers shoot qualifications at 70 

metres (70m Round) or over four distances 

(FITA Round: 90m, 70m, 50m and 

30m for men and 70m, 60m, 50m and 

30m for women). 

Other archery disciplines: Indoor, Field, Ski 

Archery, 3D Archery.

Equipment 

Target 

Regular target 

Recurve 

The target face at 70 metres is 122 cm in 

diameter.The target face is attached to the 

target butt. 

The target face has 10 concentric scoring 

rings. Each ring is 6.1 cm in width. Hence, the 

inside scoring ring (the 10 ring) is 12.2 cm in 

diameter. The outside scoring ring is worth 

1 point and the inside ring is worth 10 points. 

There are five colours on the target — white for 

the two outside rings (1 and 2-point rings), then 

black (3 and 4), light blue (5 and 6), red (7 and 8), 

and gold (9 and 10). Should an arrow land on 

the line dividing two rings, it scores the higher 

score. 

(For your information within the 10 ring is a 

smaller, lighter circle called the X10. It is only 

used as tie-breaker during qualifications on for 

world records. The very centre of the target is 

called the bull’s eye.) 

For the 50 m Round and the Compound Round, 

athletes shoot at a target face with 6 rings 

(scores of 10-5), 42 cm wide. 

6-ring target 

5 6 7 8 9 10 

The target is positioned so that its centre is 

130 cm above ground give or take 5 cm. A 

wind flag is positioned above the centre of 

each butt. This flag is essential to archers 

because wind affects their aim. A windsock is 

also visible on the Field of Play. 

Bows 

Two kinds of bows are used during archery 

events, the recurve and compound bows. During 

the Olympic Games, only the recurve bow 

is allowed. Its limbs curve away from the archer. 

It is also called a classic bow. 

For information, the compound bow has pulleys 

and cables to make the holding weight 

less than half of the draw weight. It is a very 

precise and competitive bow that also provides 

exciting matches during World Championships 

and World Cups. 

The bow is constructed of high-tech material. 

Modern risers (handles) are usually made of 

aluminium or carbon fibre; the limbs are laminated 

fibreglass, carbon fibre and a wood or 

synthetic core. The string is a high-strength, 

low-stretch material. Other features on a bow 

include a stabilizer, a sight, upper and lower 

limbs, a handle riser, a grip, a nock point, an 

arrow rest, a plunger button and a clicker. 

Arrows 

Arrows are usually made of a combination of 

aluminium and carbon fibre. The arrowhead or 

point is the part of the arrow that sticks into the 

target. The nock is the end of the arrow that fits 

onto the bow string. The feathers on an arrow 

are called the fletching or fletch. 

Every arrow must be identified with an archer’s 

name or initials. 

Arrows can fly at more than 250 km/h.

Olympic History 

Archery Olympic History 

Archery first appeared in the Olympic Games 

in 1900 and was contested again in 1904, 

1908, and 1920. Women competed in the 

1904 Olympics, making archery one of the first 

sports competitions to include women. In those 

four Games it was possible for an archer to 

compete in numerous events and win several 

medals. Hubert VAN INNIS from Belgium is the 

most decorated archer in Olympic history, winning 

six gold medals and three silvers in 1900 

and 1920. 

Archery was re-introduced to the Olympic program 

in 1972 with individual events for men 

and for women in which John WILLIAMS and 

Doreen WILBER, of the USA, captured the gold 

medals. In Seoul 1988, the team competition 

was added to the medal programme. Barcelona 

1992 was the first time that archery featured 

exciting head-to-head competition and 

single elimination matches. 

Atlanta 1996 

The Atlanta 1996 Games marked a new 

milestone for the exposure of archery. Never 

before have so many spectators been able to 

watch archery live on television or in the stands 

as 54,680 spectators attended the competitions. 

The Atlanta archery coverage won the 

Golden Rings Award from the IOC for the best 

Olympic Sports coverage. 

Sydney 2000 

One change from the 1996 Olympics was 

that the team competition was held on two 

days rather than the one-day format used in 

Atlanta. This new format for the team competition 

allowed for the men and women to have 

their own full day of matches. This change 

enhanced the enjoyment of the spectators and 

the worldwide television audience. This will still 

be the case for Beijing 2008. 

Athens 2004 

In Athens, archery athletes had the unique 

chance of competing in the Panathinaiko Stadium 

where the first Olympic Games of the 

modern area took place in 1896. The Panathinaiko 

Stadium was built on the ruins of an 

ancient stadium built in 329 B.C. 

«I think we had the best venue of them all!» 

said Jim EASTON, President of the International 

Archery Federation (now World Archery) 

in 2004. «The staging of our sport in such a 

historic place certainly added something very 

special. The Olympic Games in themselves 

are already a unique occasion for an athlete, 

so adding this extra dimension of being able 

to compete in this beautiful marble stadium 

where the first Games of the modern era 

took place--well, you could say it marks yet 

another place in history, one which I am sure 

each athlete treasured. And no doubt it was 

very special for the spectators, both on-site 

and watching on the TV networks around the 

world. I believe we were able to put on a show 

worthy of the venue--something which makes 

everyone very proud.» 

Beijing 2008 

Two dedicated archery stadiums and a revamped 

competition schedule (teams matches 

were played first and the 1/32 and 1/16 individual 

eliminations were held in succession) 

made archery very attractive for the fans and 

the TV stations worldwide. Some may remember 

the women’s team finals under heavy rain 

(when every other outdoor sports stopped!). 

Then Italy posed a real challenge to Korea in 

the men’s team final that went down to the last 

arrow! Individually, ZHANG Juan Juan (CHN) 

made history becoming the first woman to 

defeat three Korean athletes in a row to take 

the title. Finally, Viktor RUBAN (UKR) prevented 

one more time that Korean male won the individual 

gold!

A truly worldwide sport 

World Archery 

Federation 

The World Archery Federation (WA) was 

founded under the name of International 

Archery Federation (FITA) in 1931 at a 

meeting in Lwow, Poland. Seven founding 

nations were present : France, Italy, Hungary, 

Poland, Sweden, the United States and the 

former Czechoslovakia. The head office for 

WA is in Lausanne, Switzerland. In 2005, 

Prof Dr Ugur ERDENER (TUR) was elected president. 

Dr ERDENER is also an IOC Member and 

the President of the National Olympic Committee 

in Turkey. 

According to its Constitution, WA’s main objective 

is “to promote and encourage archery throughout 

the world in conformity with the Olympic principles.” 

World Archery makes and interprets the Rules 

Book ; supervises the organization of World 

Championships and other international competitions 

; and promotes archery through the 

media and sponsors. 

World Archery Headquarter at the Maison du Sport International 

Archery was part of the Olympic Movement 

from 1900 – 1920 and has been permanently 

a part of Olympic Games since 1972, when 

the IOC returned the elegant sport of archery 

to the Olympic program. Women competed in 

the 1904 Olympics, making archery one of the 

first sports competitions to include women. In 

1961, WA became the first International Sports 

Federation to elect a woman president. 

World Archery has held World Championships 

since 1931. Since 1991, WA has included 

eight disciplines. In 2006, WA started the Archery 

World Cup — staging intense competitions in 

spectacular places. 

In 2009, the forward-focused World Archery 

brand was launched to represent the sport 

of archery to both sports enthusiasts and the 

worldwide market beyond the archery family, 

promoting archery at every level with passion. 

In July 2011, a large majority of the Congress 

held in Turin, Italy, voted to change the name 

from FITA to World Archery Federation (WA).
