  Magnus Petersson, the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games silver medallist, had said before the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, "Archery is always kind of the same, it is your own pressure that makes it hard. The biggest problem for a lot of archers is that they don't focus on what they are doing. They focus on the targets and their hits on the targets, which are 70 m away. Once you take the focus off yourself – your body and technique – and put it away 70 metres, then the body does not perform as well because you are not there. Your mind and body are not together."
The other archers must have paid attention to his advice as, on the first day of the men's elimination competition, the 1/32 round in which the number of contestants was halved from 64 to 32, there was record scoring. In the first round of the day Australian Simon Fairweather equalled the Olympic record for 18 arrows, with a score of 170 out of a possible 180, when he defeated Juan Carlos Stevens of Cuba. Fairweather's record lasted 1.2 seconds before it was bettered by Jocelyn de Grandis of France, who scored 171 to defeat louri Leontiev of the Russian Federation. The record lasted only another three hours before Korean Jang Yong-Ho scored 172 in a one-sided contest against Kuresa Tupua, of American Samoa.
More records fell on the following days. Yun Mi-Jin of Korea bettered the Olympic record by five points when she shot 173 in the women's 1/8 elimination round. The men's Olympic team record of 253 was equaled by Turkey in the 1/8 eliminations. In the quarterfinals, it was bettered by the USA, 255, and then further extended by Korea, 258. The combined total of 1994 shot by the Korean women for the qualifying round, 216 arrows, broke the existing world record of 1984.
Records were more difficult to achieve during afternoons when the wind picked up and archers had to contend with tricky cross-breezes. Since the finals were decided in the late afternoon, the archers who succeeded were those who could best adapt to the changed circumstances.

VENUE

 
  Sydney International Archery Park was located at a unique and attractive 6.5 ha site in Millennium Parklands, adjacent to the wetlands of Homebush Bay. The A$3 million complex was opened in July 1998. The targets were framed by extensive groves of mangroves and from the Park there were fine panoramic views of the Olympic Stadium, including the lit cauldron. The stands had seating for 3500. The venue featured two pole forests, made from 185 recycled electricity poles. The forests symbolised the historical links of archery with places such as Sherwood Forest, home of mythical archers Robin Hood and his Merry Men.

  COMPETITION

The first day of archery was set aside for determining rankings for the competition proper on the following days. Sixty-two men from 32 countries and 66 women from 34 countries each shot 72 arrows at 12 ends to determine the seedings for the elimination rounds.

Overview

The 2000 Olympic archery events consisted of men’s and women’s individual and team events, the standard program since 1988. The events were held at the Sydney International Archery Park in Sydney Olympic Park. Australian [Simon Fairweather] won the men’s individual gold medal, but the other three events were won by Korean archers.

Archery at the 2000 Summer Olympics was held at Sydney International Archery Park in Sydney, Australia with ranking rounds on 16 September and regular competition held from 17 to 20 September. One hundred twenty-eight archers from forty-six nations competed in the four gold medal events—individual and team events for men and for women—that were contested at these games.

The Korean team won three out of the four gold medals contested. Eight Olympic records and three world records were broken at these games.

Qualification and format

There were four ways for National Olympic Committees (NOCs) to qualify berths for individual archers for the Olympics in archery. No NOC was allowed to enter more than three archers. For each gender, the host nation (Australia) was guaranteed three spots. The 1999 World Target Competition's top 8 teams (besides the host nation) each received three spots, and the 19 highest ranked archers after the team qualifiers were removed also received spots. 15 of the remaining 18 spots were divided equally among the five Olympic continents for allocation in continental tournaments. The last three spots in each gender were determined by the Tripartite Commission.

Each NOC that received three places for individual archers (i.e., the host nation, the top 8 teams at the World Target Competition, and any other nation that was able to take 3 of the remaining 37 places) was able to have its three archers compete as a team in the team competition.

All archery at the 2000 Olympics was done from a range of 70 meters. The target consists of concentric circles, and has a total diameter of 122 cm. An archer had 40 seconds to shoot each arrow. 64 archers in each gender took part in the Olympics, with each National Olympic Committee being able to enter a maximum of three archers. Each archer shot 12 ends, or groups, of 6 arrows per end in the ranking round. The score from that round determined the match-ups in the elimination rounds, with high-ranking archers facing low-ranking archers. There were three rounds of elimination that used six ends of three arrows, narrowing the field of archers to 32, then to 16, then to 8. The three final rounds (quarterfinals, semifinals, and medal matches) each used four ends of three arrows.

Men's Individual

 Host City: Sydney, Australia
Venue(s): Sydney International Archery Park, Olympic Park, Sydney, New South Wales
Date Started: September 16, 2000
Date Finished: September 20, 2000
Format: Ranking round consisted of 72 arrows, 18 each at 30 metres, 50 metres, 70 metres, and 90 metres. Matches in rounds 1-3 consisted of 16 arrows. Matches in the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final round consisted of 12 arrows. Tie-breaking for the final placements was done by the following method. Losers in each round were ranked according to the score they shot in that round. Ties in that round were broken by the number of 10s shot in that round and then the number of 9s shot in that round. If still tied the score in the preceding round was used as the tie-breaker, followed by number of 10s, and then number of 9s in the preceding round. Matches shot entirely at 70 metres.

Summary

Four different Koreans had won the last four World Championships. The last non-Korean World Champion was [Simon Fairweather] of Australia, who was champion back in 1991. Sydney was his fourth Olympics, but he had yet to win a medal, and his best individual performance had been 16th back in Seoul (1988). Fairweather qualified eighth in Sydney in the ranking round, which was led by three Koreans, [Jang Yong-Ho] qualifying first. Because of the rapid turnover on the Korean team, none of the Koreans were among their recent World Champions, although second-placed [O Gyo-Mun] had been an individual bronze medalist in Atlanta. But Jang went out in round three while the other two Koreans lost in the quarter-finals. Fairweather advanced to the final, his only close match in the semis against Dutch archer [Wietse van Alten], which he won 112-110. Fairweather won his gold medal by defeating upstart American [Vic Wunderle] in the final, 113-106.

The men's individual was an archery event held as part of the Archery at the 2000 Summer Olympics programme. Like other archery events at the Olympics, it featured the recurve discipline. All archery was done at a range of 70 metres. 64 archers competed.

The competition format was unchanged from 1996. The competition began with a 72-arrow ranking round. This was followed by three elimination rounds, in which archers competed head-to-head in 18-arrow matches. After these rounds, there were 8 archers left. The quarterfinals, semifinals, and medal matches (collectively termed the "finals round") were 12-arrow matches. In all matches, losers were eliminated and received a final rank determined by their score in that round, with the exception of the semifinals. The losers of the semifinals competed in the bronze medal match.

Seedings and rankings mattered little in the men's individual competition, where upsets were the order of the day and some of the favoured athletes exited at an early stage. World ranked No.2 Lionel Torres of France was defeated in the first elimination round by Christian Stubbe of Germany and world ranked No.1 Michele Frangilli of Italy was defeated by Kim Chung-Tae of Korea in the 1/8 elimination round.
However, the biggest surprise was that none of the favoured Korean men progressed to the semifinals, leaving relative outsiders Wietse Van Alten of the Netherlands, Victor Wunderle of the USA, Simon Fairweather of Australia and Magnus Petersson of Sweden to contest the medals.
Thirty-year-old Simon Fairweather, ranked 29 in the world, shot with great consistency throughout the day. He defeated Wunderle in the gold medal decider by 113 to 106, becoming the first Australian to medal in archery. At his fourth Olympic Games Fairweather finally fulfilled the promise he had shown in 1991, when he won the world target championship at Krakow in Poland. Fairweather attributed his improvement to his Korean coach, Lee Ki-Sik, who was brought to the Australian Institute of Sport as part of the Olympic Athlete Program. "He has completely changed my attitude and my technique. He's pretty much a member of my family," Fairweather said.
Wunderle had reached the final by defeating Petersson by 108 to 107 in the semifinal. Van Alten of the Netherlands defeated Petersson, by 114 to 109, to win the bronze medal.

Men's Team

 Host City: Sydney, Australia
Venue(s): Sydney International Archery Park, Olympic Park, Sydney, New South Wales
Date Started: September 16, 2000
Date Finished: September 22, 2000
Format: Teams consisted of three archers. Ranking rounds scores based on scores carried over from individual ranking round. Tie-breaking for the final placements was done by the following method. Losers in each round were ranked according to the score they shot in that round. Ties in that round were broken by the number of 10s shot in that round and then the number of 9s shot in that round. If still tied the score in the preceding round was used as the tie-breaker, followed by number of 10s, and then number of 9s in the preceding round. Team event shot entirely at 70 metres. Matches consisted of 27 arrows, 9 per archer.

Summary

The two top teams in the world were Korea, which had won the World Championship in 1995 and 1997, and Italy, the 1999 World Champions. There were no surprises in Sydney as both teams moved to the final, where Korea won the gold medal easily, 255-247. The defending champion American team won the bronze medal over Russia, in a match which was tied, the Americans winning in a shoot-out.

The men's team was an archery event held as part of the archery at the 2000 Summer Olympics programme.

A total of 14 teams competed in the third appearance of the Olympic team round archery event. The ranking round, which determined the seeds for all teams, doubled as the ranking round for the individual competition and was held on 16 September 2000. Each archer shot 72 arrows, and the scores of the three archers for each team were summed to give a team ranking round score. A single-elimination head-to-head tournament was held on 22 September. During each round of competition, each archer shot nine arrows for a team score based on 27 arrows. The losers of the semifinals faced off in a bronze medal match, while teams defeated before then were assigned rankings within the group of other teams defeated in their round based on their score in that round.

The South Korean team, which had swept the top three places in the ranking round but had seen each of its members suffer upsets in the individual knock-out rounds, won by comfortable margins in the team knock-out rounds to take the gold medal. The trio set a new world record for a 27-arrow team match in the quarterfinals, with a score of 258 of a possible 270.[1] Italy and Russia each managed to defeat two higher-seeded teams before falling to the Koreans; this gave Italy the silver medal and put Russia in the bronze medal match against the United States. The Russians forced the first Olympic team match tiebreaker against the Americans in that match, losing 29-26 in that tiebreaker.

 The Korean team of Jang Yong-Ho, Oh Kyo-Moon and Kim Chung-Tae made up for their disappointment in the individual competition, defeating the world champion Italian team by 255–247 in the 27-arrow final. The Koreans were just one point ahead going into the final nine arrows, but then scored 87 out of a possible 90, six 10s and three 9s. They had demonstrated their good form when they beat Ukraine in a quarterfinal, achieving a score of 258. This broke the Olympic record of 253, set by Australia at Atlanta.
The USA posted an impressive score, defeating Sweden in their quarterfinal by 255 to 244, but was beaten in the semifinals by Italy 244 to 241. The Americans, however, won the bronze medal in a close match against the Russian Federation. The match was tied at 239 after 27 arrows but the USA won in a shoot-out, by 29 to 26, when each archer shot an arrow in rotation.
Korea, with three gold medals, one silver and one bronze, dominated the tournament. It was their best result since the Seoul Games of 1988 when the nation won three gold medals, two silver and one bronze. The Koreans' training had combined the traditional eastern practices of meditation and mind control with the scientific and technical methods of the western world. In a nation where archery is widely practised the Korean archers returned as heroes.
For host nation Australia, the gold medal in the men's individual event was a wonderful outcome which was greeted with much enthusiasm. Australia had expected to medal in the men's team event, as every host nation had won this event since it was introduced to the Olympic schedule. It was not to be, but the nation had a new Olympic hero and a wonderful venue for aspiring archers.
