The world famous Lord’s Cricket Ground, commonly<br />
referred to as The Home of Cricket, will<br />
welcome a new sport into its domain this summer.<br />
On 27 July <strong>2012</strong>, Lord’s will become The<br />
Home of <strong>Archery</strong> for the London <strong>Olympic</strong> Games.<br />
Much has changed in the archery family since<br />
the Beijing <strong>Olympic</strong> Games and participants<br />
from a record of 55 countries will compete for<br />
archery’s four <strong>Olympic</strong> gold medals in what will<br />
be the most competitive field yet encountered.<br />
<strong>Archery</strong>’s history is linked to Britain: the five<br />
colours on the target originated in the English<br />
<strong>Archery</strong> Rounds. Although we have since added<br />
more scoring rings, the target’s size of 122cm<br />
has never changed. We are also coming to the<br />
home country of the former World <strong>Archery</strong> President,<br />
Mrs Inger K. FRITH. Mrs FRITH brought<br />
archery back to the <strong>Olympic</strong> Games in 1972. She<br />
would have likely been proud of her sport competing<br />
at Lord’s, although she probably would<br />
have preferred the All Whites rule for uniforms<br />
that is maintained for Cricket Test Events.<br />
The Paralympic Games originated in Stoke Mandeville.<br />
We look forward to hosting Paralympic<br />
<strong>Archery</strong> at the Royal Artillery Barracks. We are<br />
eagerly anticipating the Paralympic Games,<br />
which demonstrate the incredible level of competition<br />
that athletes who have disability are<br />
able to achieve.<br />
In terms of the competition format, we will see<br />
the set system for the individual competition for<br />
the first time at the <strong>Olympic</strong>s. It was successfully<br />
used in Singapore for the Youth <strong>Olympic</strong><br />
Games and at all major competitions since 2010.<br />
Lord’s is a magical venue where sports history<br />
has already been made. It has been said that<br />
there was already an archery demonstration<br />
by the Sioux Indians that was organised by<br />
the venue’s namesake, Thomas LORD, in the<br />
19 th century. Although the sport has changed<br />
considerably since those days, the heritage of<br />
our sport will be linked to the Pavilion, which is<br />
truly a fantastic place. Walking out of the Pavilion<br />
to go to the field of play is magic that will<br />
be experienced by all of the athletes at these<br />
<strong>Olympic</strong> Games.<br />
We would like to wish good luck to all the<br />
athletes and we would like to thank really everyone<br />
involved in this archery competition at the<br />
London <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Olympic</strong> Games. We are looking<br />
forward to a memorable time at Lord’s, where<br />
the historical field contrasts the state-of-the-art<br />
media centre. Just like archery—a modern sport<br />
with a strong heritage.<br />

Welcome to Lord’s, Home of <strong>Archery</strong> for the London <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Olympic</strong> Games
OLYMPIC<br />
GAMES<br />
London <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Olympic</strong> Games, 27 July - 12 August<br />
( <strong>Archery</strong> : 27 July – 3 August )<br />
<strong>Archery</strong> was a sport in the <strong>Olympic</strong> Games<br />
from 1900–1920. In 1972, archery became<br />
a permanent part of the <strong>Olympic</strong> programme.<br />
There are 64 men and 64 women competing<br />
in the recurve division, for individual and<br />
team events in London. There will be four new<br />
<strong>Olympic</strong> champions : Individual Men, Individual<br />
Women, Team Men, and Team Women.<br />
In the Ranking Round, the athletes shoot<br />
72 arrows at a distance of 70 metres.<br />
In the <strong>Olympic</strong> Round (matches), the number<br />
1 individual qualifier (seed) shoots against<br />
number 64, and so on…<br />
Individual matches are best of five sets of<br />
three arrows. The athletes shoot in alternate<br />
format and have 20 seconds per arrow. The<br />
first archer to six set points is the winner.<br />
If after five sets the scores are tied at 5-5,<br />
the match goes to sudden death, where both<br />
archers shoot one arrow each (alternately).<br />
The arrow closest to the centre wins.<br />
Each nation that qualified three athletes of<br />
the same gender can also compete in the<br />
team competition.<br />
In the team matches, each team shoots 24<br />
arrows—4 ends of 6 arrows. They have only<br />
2 minutes in which to shoot 6 arrows. Each<br />
team member shoots 2 arrows per end,<br />
shooting only one arrow at a time. Teams<br />
alternate shooting after every 3 arrows.<br />
The archery competition will take place<br />
at the famous Lord’s Cricket Ground.<br />

This is a record for archery in<br />
<strong>Olympic</strong> history.<br />
Lord’s has long been seen as the Home of<br />
Cricket, the game’s spiritual headquarters<br />
and perhaps the most important single place<br />
in world cricket. Its owner, Marylebone Cricket<br />
Club, has been based at Lord’s since<br />
1814, and is the owner and maker of the<br />
Laws of Cricket and guardian of the Spirit of<br />
Cricket. The venue hosts cricket at all levels<br />
of the game, from school and village fixtures<br />
to international Test. During the London <strong>2012</strong><br />
<strong>Olympic</strong> Games, it will be the Home of <strong>Archery</strong>.<br />
In the London <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Olympic</strong> <strong>Archery</strong> Competition,<br />
archers will shoot from the front of<br />
the 19 th century Pavilion—a historical and<br />
protected building in Great Britain and whose<br />
Long Room has hosted the highest dignitaries<br />
over the years—and across the hallowed<br />
cricket square towards the <strong>Media</strong> Centre.<br />
Commissioned for when Lord’s hosted the<br />
1999 Cricket World Cup, the <strong>Media</strong> Centre<br />
has won many awards for its modern, almost<br />
futuristic design.<br />

Competitions<br />
The road to London :<br />
qualifications of 64 men and<br />
64 women<br />
Two teams of three athletes from the host<br />
country.<br />
The top 8 teams of three archers and eight<br />
individual archers per gender qualified<br />
based on 2011 World Championships.<br />
Thirteen athletes from various Continental<br />
Qualifications Tournaments held in 2011-12.<br />
Three teams of three archers from a Final<br />
Team Qualification Tournament (during World<br />
Cup Stage 3 in Ogden, USA, 18-24 June<br />
<strong>2012</strong>).<br />
At least four individuals from a Final Individual<br />
Qualification Tournament (during World<br />
Cup Stage 3 in Ogden, USA, 18-24 June<br />
<strong>2012</strong>).<br />
Three invitation places.<br />
Any NOC that qualified three archers will<br />
present a team at the <strong>Olympic</strong> Games. All<br />
qualification places are earned by the NOC.<br />
Changes from last Games<br />
Individual will play matches out of 5 sets of 3<br />
arrows.<br />
Tie-breaks are played out of one arrow<br />
closest to centre for individuals.<br />
For teams, each team member will shoot a<br />
single extra arrow in a shoot-off. The team<br />
with the highest score will win. If the score is<br />
still tied, the team that has the arrow closest<br />
to the centre wins !<br />
Women’s and men’s matches will alternate<br />
during the 1/32 and 1/16 elimination rounds.<br />
Scoring<br />
The target face has 10 concentric scoring<br />
rings (two per colour), scoring from 1 to 10<br />
points. Hence the outside scoring ring is<br />
worth 1 point and the inside ring is worth<br />
10 points. For all details please consult the<br />
Equipment section.<br />
Competition Format<br />
Athletes shoot a 70m Round in qualifications,<br />
12 ends of 6 arrows. The maximum number<br />
of points is 720.<br />
Archers are ranked based on the number<br />
of points.<br />
The top 64 archers are paired for the up-coming<br />
match-play (called the <strong>Olympic</strong> Round)<br />
—the No. 1 qualifier against No. 64, No. 2<br />
against No. 63, etc.<br />
All archers must meet Minimum Qualifications<br />
Standards (MQS) : they are of 1230<br />
points for men and women in a <strong>FITA</strong> Round<br />
and 625 points for men and 600 points for<br />
women at a 70m Round.<br />
Out of the 12 teams participating, the top<br />
4 in qualifications receive a bye for the 1/8<br />
elimination round. The No. 5 will play against<br />
No. 12, No. 6 against No. 11, etc.<br />
Not more than two teams of three archers<br />
from one NOC team can compete. The NOCs<br />
could qualify either a team of three athletes<br />
or one archer per gender, so a maximum of<br />
six participants.<br />

Individual Matches<br />
Athletes play matches out of 5 sets of 3<br />
arrows.<br />
The winner of each set—the athlete who<br />
gets the highest cumulative score with his<br />
three arrows—gets 2 set points.<br />
If the set is tied each athlete gets 1 set point.<br />
The winner of the match is determined by<br />
the number of set points won, not the score<br />
of the arrows.<br />
The match winner is the first to reach 6<br />
set points.<br />
The match will finish once the 6 set points is<br />
reached within the 5 sets.<br />
If the match is tied, a one-arrow (only!)<br />
shoot-off will be used to break the tie. The<br />
archer whose arrow is closest to the centre<br />
(if needed it will be measured) gets 1 extra<br />
point and wins.<br />
Athletes alternate to shoot each arrow and<br />
have 20 seconds per arrow.<br />
Here is an example of a recurve individual match<br />
First set<br />
Athlete A shoots : 10, 10, 9 = 29<br />
Athlete B shoots : 10, 9, 10 = 29<br />
Both athlete A and B earn 1 set point.<br />
The score is tied at 1-1.<br />
Second set<br />
Athlete A shoots : 10, 10, 10 = 30<br />
Athlete B shoots : 10, 5, 7 = 22<br />
Athlete A earns the two points. He leads 3-1.<br />
Third set<br />
Athlete A shoots : 10, 10, 8, = 28<br />
Athlete B shoots : 10, 10, 10 = 30<br />
Athlete B earns the two points. He tied the<br />
match at 3-3.<br />
Fourth set<br />
Athlete A shoots : 10, 9, 8, = 27<br />
Athlete B shoots : 10, 10, 10 = 30<br />
Athlete B takes the lead 5-3.<br />
Fifth set<br />
Athlete A shoots : 10, 10, 9, = 29<br />
Athlete B shoots : 10, 10, 8 = 28<br />
Athlete A earns the two points and ties the<br />
match at 5-5. A one-arrow shoot-off is required<br />
to break the tie (to earn the extra set point).<br />
Shoot-off<br />
Athlete A shoots : 10<br />
Athlete B shoots : 10*<br />
Let’s measure that the arrow of the athlete B<br />
is the closest to centre and wins !<br />
On the match chart results,<br />
the score would be shown as :<br />
Athlete A: 5 (29, 30, 28, 27, 29; T10)<br />
Athlete B: 6 (29, 22, 30, 30, 28; T10*)<br />
*Closest to centre<br />
Team Matches<br />
Each nation with 3 athletes of the same<br />
gender in the same division can also compete<br />
in team competition.<br />
In the team matches, each team shoots<br />
24 arrows—4 ends of 6 arrows. They only<br />
have 2 minutes to shoot 6 arrows. Each<br />
team member shoots 2 arrows per end,<br />
shooting only one arrow at a time. Teams<br />
alternate shooting after every 3 arrows.<br />
The team with the highest score at the end<br />
wins the match.<br />
In case the two teams have a tied score,<br />
each team member will shoot a single extra<br />
arrow in a shoot-off. The team with the<br />
highest score will win. If the score is still<br />
tied, the team that has the arrow closest<br />
to the centre wins !<br />
Elimination and Final Matches are like an intense<br />
tennis tournament, sometimes in one day !<br />
The head-to-head competition combines simplicity,<br />
excitement and suspense.<br />
Ranking<br />
There will be a gold medal and a bronze<br />
medal match (only one bronze medal is<br />
awarded).<br />
The quarterfinalists are ranked first based<br />
on their set points, and then in their total<br />
arrow points.<br />
For the other rounds, the retired athletes/<br />

Equipment<br />
Target<br />
Regular target<br />
Recurve<br />
The target face at 70 metres is 122 cm in<br />
diameter.The target face is attached to the<br />
target butt.<br />
The target face has 10 concentric scoring<br />
rings. Each ring is 6.1 cm in width. Hence, the<br />
inside scoring ring (the 10 ring) is 12.2 cm in<br />
diameter. The outside scoring ring is worth<br />
1 point and the inside ring is worth 10 points.<br />
There are five colours on the target — white for<br />
the two outside rings (1 and 2-point rings), then<br />
black (3 and 4), light blue (5 and 6), red (7 and 8),<br />
and gold (9 and 10). Should an arrow land on<br />
the line dividing two rings, it scores the higher<br />
score.<br />
(For your information within the 10 ring is a<br />
smaller, lighter circle called the X10. It is only<br />
used as tie-breaker during qualifications on for<br />
world records. The very centre of the target is<br />
called the bull’s eye.)<br />
For the 50 m Round and the Compound Round,<br />
athletes shoot at a target face with 6 rings<br />
(scores of 10-5), 42 cm wide.<br />
6-ring target<br />
5 6 7 8 9 10<br />
The target is positioned so that its centre is<br />
130 cm above ground give or take 5 cm. A<br />
wind flag is positioned above the centre of<br />
each butt. This flag is essential to archers<br />
because wind affects their aim. A windsock is<br />
also visible on the Field of Play.<br />
Bows<br />
Two kinds of bows are used during archery<br />
events, the recurve and compound bows. During<br />
the <strong>Olympic</strong> Games, only the recurve bow<br />
is allowed. Its limbs curve away from the archer.<br />
It is also called a classic bow.<br />
For information, the compound bow has pulleys<br />
and cables to make the holding weight<br />
less than half of the draw weight. It is a very<br />
precise and competitive bow that also provides<br />
exciting matches during World Championships<br />
and World Cups.<br />
The bow is constructed of high-tech material.<br />
Modern risers (handles) are usually made of<br />
aluminium or carbon fibre; the limbs are laminated<br />
fibreglass, carbon fibre and a wood or<br />
synthetic core. The string is a high-strength,<br />
low-stretch material. Other features on a bow<br />
include a stabilizer, a sight, upper and lower<br />
limbs, a handle riser, a grip, a nock point, an<br />
arrow rest, a plunger button and a clicker.<br />
Arrows<br />
Arrows are usually made of a combination of<br />
aluminium and carbon fibre. The arrowhead or<br />
point is the part of the arrow that sticks into the<br />
target. The nock is the end of the arrow that fits<br />
onto the bow string. The feathers on an arrow<br />
are called the fletching or fletch.<br />
Every arrow must be identified with an archer’s<br />
name or initials.<br />
Arrows can fly at more than 250 km/h.<br />

<strong>Olympic</strong> History<br />
<strong>Archery</strong> <strong>Olympic</strong> History<br />
<strong>Archery</strong> first appeared in the <strong>Olympic</strong> Games<br />
in 1900 and was contested again in 1904,<br />
1908, and 1920. Women competed in the<br />
1904 <strong>Olympic</strong>s, making archery one of the first<br />
sports competitions to include women. In those<br />
four Games it was possible for an archer to<br />
compete in numerous events and win several<br />
medals. Hubert VAN INNIS from Belgium is the<br />
most decorated archer in <strong>Olympic</strong> history, winning<br />
six gold medals and three silvers in 1900<br />
and 1920.<br />
<strong>Archery</strong> was re-introduced to the <strong>Olympic</strong> program<br />
in 1972 with individual events for men<br />
and for women in which John WILLIAMS and<br />
Doreen WILBER, of the USA, captured the gold<br />
medals. In Seoul 1988, the team competition<br />
was added to the medal programme. Barcelona<br />
1992 was the first time that archery featured<br />
exciting head-to-head competition and<br />
single elimination matches.<br />
Atlanta 1996<br />
The Atlanta 1996 Games marked a new<br />
milestone for the exposure of archery. Never<br />
before have so many spectators been able to<br />
watch archery live on television or in the stands<br />
as 54,680 spectators attended the competitions.<br />
The Atlanta archery coverage won the<br />
Golden Rings Award from the IOC for the best<br />
<strong>Olympic</strong> Sports coverage.<br />
Sydney 2000<br />
One change from the 1996 <strong>Olympic</strong>s was<br />
that the team competition was held on two<br />
days rather than the one-day format used in<br />
Atlanta. This new format for the team competition<br />
allowed for the men and women to have<br />
their own full day of matches. This change<br />
enhanced the enjoyment of the spectators and<br />
the worldwide television audience. This will still<br />
be the case for Beijing 2008.<br />
Athens 2004<br />
In Athens, archery athletes had the unique<br />
chance of competing in the Panathinaiko Stadium<br />
where the first <strong>Olympic</strong> Games of the<br />
modern area took place in 1896. The Panathinaiko<br />
Stadium was built on the ruins of an<br />
ancient stadium built in 329 B.C.<br />
«I think we had the best venue of them all!»<br />
said Jim EASTON, President of the International<br />
<strong>Archery</strong> Federation (now World <strong>Archery</strong>)<br />
in 2004. «The staging of our sport in such a<br />
historic place certainly added something very<br />
special. The <strong>Olympic</strong> Games in themselves<br />
are already a unique occasion for an athlete,<br />
so adding this extra dimension of being able<br />
to compete in this beautiful marble stadium<br />
where the first Games of the modern era<br />
took place--well, you could say it marks yet<br />
another place in history, one which I am sure<br />
each athlete treasured. And no doubt it was<br />
very special for the spectators, both on-site<br />
and watching on the TV networks around the<br />
world. I believe we were able to put on a show<br />
worthy of the venue--something which makes<br />
everyone very proud.»<br />
Beijing 2008<br />
Two dedicated archery stadiums and a revamped<br />
competition schedule (teams matches<br />
were played first and the 1/32 and 1/16 individual<br />
eliminations were held in succession)<br />
made archery very attractive for the fans and<br />
the TV stations worldwide. Some may remember<br />
the women’s team finals under heavy rain<br />
(when every other outdoor sports stopped!).<br />
Then Italy posed a real challenge to Korea in<br />
the men’s team final that went down to the last<br />
arrow! Individually, ZHANG Juan Juan (CHN)<br />
made history becoming the first woman to<br />
defeat three Korean athletes in a row to take<br />
the title. Finally, Viktor RUBAN (UKR) prevented<br />
one more time that Korean male won the individual<br />
gold!<br />

A truly worldwide sport<br />
World <strong>Archery</strong><br />
Federation<br />
The World <strong>Archery</strong> Federation (WA) was<br />
founded under the name of International<br />
<strong>Archery</strong> Federation (<strong>FITA</strong>) in 1931 at a<br />
meeting in Lwow, Poland. Seven founding<br />
nations were present : France, Italy, Hungary,<br />
Poland, Sweden, the United States and the<br />
former Czechoslovakia. The head office for<br />
WA is in Lausanne, Switzerland. In 2005,<br />
Prof Dr Ugur ERDENER (TUR) was elected president.<br />
Dr ERDENER is also an IOC Member and<br />
the President of the National <strong>Olympic</strong> Committee<br />
in Turkey.<br />
According to its Constitution, WA’s main objective<br />
is “to promote and encourage archery throughout<br />
the world in conformity with the <strong>Olympic</strong> principles.”<br />
World <strong>Archery</strong> makes and interprets the Rules<br />
Book ; supervises the organization of World<br />
Championships and other international competitions<br />
; and promotes archery through the<br />
media and sponsors.<br />

<strong>Archery</strong> was part of the <strong>Olympic</strong> Movement<br />
from 1900 – 1920 and has been permanently<br />
a part of <strong>Olympic</strong> Games since 1972, when<br />
the IOC returned the elegant sport of archery<br />
to the <strong>Olympic</strong> program. Women competed in<br />
the 1904 <strong>Olympic</strong>s, making archery one of the<br />
first sports competitions to include women. In<br />
1961, WA became the first International Sports<br />
Federation to elect a woman president.<br />
World <strong>Archery</strong> has held World Championships<br />
since 1931. Since 1991, WA has included<br />
eight disciplines. In 2006, WA started the <strong>Archery</strong><br />
World Cup — staging intense competitions in<br />
spectacular places.<br />
In 2009, the forward-focused World <strong>Archery</strong><br />
brand was launched to represent the sport<br />
of archery to both sports enthusiasts and the<br />
worldwide market beyond the archery family,<br />
promoting archery at every level with passion.<br />
In July 2011, a large majority of the Congress<br />
held in Turin, Italy, voted to change the name<br />
from <strong>FITA</strong> to World <strong>Archery</strong> Federation (WA).<br />
