Archery at the 2004 Summer Olympics

Archery at the 2004 Summer Olympics was held at Panathinaiko Stadium (Kallimarmaro). The archery schedule began on 12 August and ended on 21 August.

There were four gold medals contested, with individual and team events for men and the same for women.

All archery at the Olympics was done from a range of 70 meters. The target's total diameter was 122 cm. An archer had 40 seconds to fire each arrow. 64 archers took part in the Olympics, with each National Olympic Committee being able to enter a maximum of three archers. Each archer fired six ends, or groups, of 12 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.

13 men's and 15 women's teams took place in the team competition. The teams consisted of the country's three archers from the individual round, and the team's initial ranking was determined by summing the three members' scores in the individual ranking round. Each round of eliminations consisted of each team firing 27 arrows (9 by each archer).

Qualification

There were four ways for National Olympic Committees (NOCs) to qualify individual archers for the Olympics in archery. No NOC was allowed to enter more than three archers of each gender. For each gender, the host nation (Greece) was guaranteed three spots. The 2003 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.

Korea continued its domination of the sport, winning three of the four gold medals as well as a silver. Marco Galiazzo won the men's individual competition, earning Italy the nation's first gold medal in Olympic archery, blocking Hiroshi Yamamoto's attempt to win Japan's first gold medal. Chinese Taipei, which had never before won a medal in archery, won a silver and a bronze.

The three medalists of the 2000 Summer Olympics, Simon Fairweather, Vic Wunderle, and Wietse van Alten, all competed in 2004. None placed higher than 14th (van Alten) in the ranking round and only Wunderle made it to the quarterfinals.

Men's individual ranking round

August 12 17:00 at Dekelia Air Force Base

The Korean archers, medal favorites in both men's and women's competition, ranked 1st (Im Dong-hyun), 4th (Park Kyung-mo), and 5th (Jang Yong-ho) in the men's individual ranking round. Im's score of 687 set a new world record for 72 arrows, breaking the previous one set in 1995 by fellow Korean Shim Young-sung. The bracket setup (with 4th- and 5th-ranked archers facing off in the quarterfinals if undefeated and the winner of that match facing the 1st-ranked archer in the semifinals) meant that the Korean men could do no better than gold and bronze. Marco Galiazzo of Italy in 2nd and Magnus Petersson of Sweden in 3rd rounded out the top five, with Dmytro Hrachov in 6th with the same score as 5th-ranked Jang of Korea.

Men's individual round of 64

16 August

The first round of elimination narrowed the field from 64 archers to 32 in a standard single-elimination bracket. The loser of each match received a final rank between 33 and 64, depending on his score in the round. Each archer fired six ends of three arrows, for a total possible score of 180. Oleksandr Serdyuk of Ukraine had the highest score in the round, with 164.

The first upset of the day belonged to 43rd-ranked Vic Wunderle of the United States, who defeated 22nd-ranked Majhi Sawaiyan of India. The United States were on the losing end of an even larger upset, though, when Butch Johnson lost to Ron van der Hoff of the Netherlands. The biggest upset occurred when 52nd-ranked Tashi Peljor of Bhutan defeated 13th-ranked Jocelyn de Grandis of France to become the lowest ranked archer to advance.

Men's individual round of 32

18 August

As in the round of 64, archers fired six ends of three arrows in the second round of elimination. This round narrowed the field from 32 to 16 archers, with winners advancing and losers receiving a final rank between 17 and 32 depending on their score in the round. Im Dong-hyun of Korea scored the highest in the round, missing the Olympic record by 1 point with a score of 171. 48th-ranked Satyadev Prasad of India was the lowest ranked archer to advance.

Vic Wunderle of the United States continued to have success in head-to-head competition, eliminating 11th-ranked Wang Cheng-pang of Chinese Taipei. In an astonishing match, 31st-ranked Laurence Godfrey, Great Britain eked out a victory over 2nd-ranked Magnus Petersson of Sweden. Two other of top ten ranked archers fell when 27th-ranked Xue Haifeng of China defeated 6th-ranked Dmytro Hrachov of Ukraine and 25th-ranked Hasse Pavia Lind lost to Oleksandr Serdyuk.

One of the Korean archers, Park Kyung-mo, nearly fell to the Kazakhstani Stanislav Zabrodskiy when Zabrodskiy tied Park through the first 18 arrows and scored a 10 on the first tie-break. Park also scored a 10, and followed it up with a second 10 which Zabrodskiy could not match. A tie-break was also needed in the match between Viktor Ruban of Ukraine and Wang Cheng-pang of Chinese Taipei, which Ruban won 9-8.

The first round of 12-arrow matches was the quarterfinals. Winners advanced to the semifinals while losers received a final rank between 5 and 8 depending on score in the quarterfinals. The high score of the round was notched by Tim Cuddihy, with 112.

In a see-saw battle, Marco Galiazzo took a lead over Vic Wunderle in the third end. In a tense final end, Wunderle closed the gap. Galiazzo, needing an 8 to tie on the last arrow, shot a 9 to advance and end Wunderle's run. In a surprise, both of the remaining Korean archers fell to Hiroshi Yamamoto and Tim Cuddihy in 1-point matchs eliminating them from medal contention. Laurence Godfrey had the most decisive victory of the round, a still-close 2-point victory of Chen Szu Yuan.

Men's individual gold medal match

19 August

The gold medal match pitted a first-time-Olympian Italian against a veteran Japanese archer, with the favored Koreans being conspicuously absent. The match consisted of 12 arrows, with the winner taking gold and the loser receiving a silver medal.

With a pair of 10s in the first end, Hiroshi Yamamoto took a quick lead of 1 point over Marco Galiazzo. In the second end, Galiazzo missed perfection by only 1 point, scoring 29 to Yamamoto's 27 to reverse the lead. He hit another pair of 10s in the third end, increasing his lead to 2 points going into the final end. Galiazzo maintained the lead through the final three arrows, winning Italy's first Olympic gold medal in archery. Yamamoto's silver was his second Olympic medal, joining the bronze medal that he won in 1984.

Women's individual round of 64

15 August

In the first round of elimination, archers competed head-to-head. Each fired six ends of three arrows. Winners advanced to the round of 32, while losers received a final ranking between 33 and 64 based on their score in the round. Sayami Matsushita had the highest score of the round with 165.

The first big surprise of the round came when Tshering Chhoden of Bhutan, who had been ranked 54th, defeated 11th-ranked Lin Sang of China. This set Chhoden up for a round of 32 match with 43rd-ranked Reena Kumari of India, who had also won in an upset. One archer from the top ten, Natalia Valeeva of Italy, lost in the first round, to 56th-ranked Jasmin Figueroa of the Philippines.

Perhaps the most exciting match of the day was between Malgorzata Sobieraj and Thin Thin Khaing, who tied with 151. Each archer shot a 9 on the first tie-breaking arrow and another 9 on the second. When the third tie-breaker resulted in an 8 for each archer, it was not possible to separate the two archers, even by measuring the distance to the centre of the target. It was only the second time in Olympic history [1] (http://www.archery-gp.de/athens2004/press/press040815_01.htm) that a fourth arrow was required to separate two archers, the first having been in Atlanta. Sobieraj's fourth arrow was better, giving her the win. Wiebke Nulle and Zekiye Keskin Satir also were tied after 18 arrows, with Satir winning on the first tie-breaker 10-7

Women's individual round of 32

17 August

The second round of elimination, like the first, was a head-to-head competition in which each archer fired six ends of three arrows. Winners advanced to the round of 16, while losers received a final rank between 17 and 32 based on their scores in the round. Yun Mi Jin of Korea scored 173 in the round, tying the Olympic record she set at the 2000 Summer Olympics.

52nd-ranked Kirstin Jean Lewis pulled off her second upset of the tournament, defeating 20th-ranked Sumangala Sharma to become the lowest ranked archer to advance. Jennifer Nichols, ranked 19th, was the only other archer to win an upset, against 14th-ranked Tetyana Berezhna.

4th-ranked He Ying, however, nearly became the third upset victim and the only top ten archer of the day to fall when Melissa Jennison forced a tie-breaker that He won 9-8. Tshering Chhoden, who had won a major upset in the first round, nearly pulled off another, forcing Reena Kumari into a tie-breaker, which Kumari won.

Women's individual quarterfinals

18 August

With 8 archers left, the quarterfinal matches consisted of each archer firing four ends of three arrows. Winners advanced to the semifinals while the losers received final rankings between 5 and 8. The highest score of the round again was notched by Park Sung Hyun, with 111 points.

Alison Williamson continued a great run, defeating 4th-ranked He Ying to advance to the semifinals. He missed the target with two arrows, but would have needed to score perfect 10s on each of those arrows to even tie Williamson and force a tie-breaker. Park Sung Hyun easily defeated Evangelia Psarra, scoring no less than 27 in any end of three arrows. In two matches between Korean archers and archers from Chinese Taipei, Yun Mi Jin was the only Korean to lose so far in the women's competition, falling to Yuan Shu Chi. Lee Sung Jin, however, was able to come from behind to defeat Wu Hui Ju to keep Korea in contention for two medals.

• Park Sung Hyun, Korea def. Evangelia Psarra, Greece 111-101

Lee Sung Jin and Yuan Shu Chi were the first two archers to compete. The first end resulted in a tie at 27. Lee began to pull away in the second end, scoring 26 to Shu's 24. In each of the third and fourth ends, Lee increased his lead, finishing with a safe 6 point victory to advance to the final.

Park and Alison Williamson were next. Williamson's surprising run for gold came to a crash, as Park continued to be nearly perfect. Once again, Park did not score lower than 27 in any end of three arrows, dominating each end and advancing to face fellow Korean Lee in the finals.

• Park Sung Hyun, Korea def. Alison Williamson, Great Britain 110-100
• Lee Sung Jin, Korea def. Yuan Shu Chi, Chinese Taipei 104-98

Women's individual bronze medal match

18 August

The bronze medal match pitted Yuan Shu Chi, who had started with a 6th place in the ranking round, against Alison Williamson, who had started at 21st. Each archer fired four ends of three arrows, with the winner receiving a bronze medal while the loser would go home with a 4th place finish and no medal.

The first end was a good one for both archers, with Yuan scoring a 10 and two 9s while Williamson matched the score with two 10s and an 8. Yuan kept up the pace with another 28 in the second end, as Williamson faltered slightly and dropped 3 points behind with a 25. Williamson caught up in the third end, however, with a 27 to Yuan's 25. Yuan took the lead again with the first arrow of the last end, but again Williamson brought it back to a tie with the second arrow. With the score tied and one arrow remaining, Williamson shot an 8 to Yuan's 7, claiming the bronze medal.

In the first end, Park shot a rare 26, breaking a long string of ends no lower than 27. Lee matched the score, then hit a perfect 30 in the second end. Park returned to form in the second end with a 27, but this still left her 3 points behind. Park continued to build on her scores with a 28 in the third end, bringing the match to 2 points when Lee shot a 27. The fourth end was Park's best of the match while it was Lee's worst, as Park reversed the deficit with a 29-25 final end to take the gold, 110-108. Lee received a silver medal.
