Accessible only on horseback or by foot as recently as the 1960s, not admitted to the United Nations until the 1970s, and without TV until fewer than two years ago, the Himalayan mountain kingdom didn't show up at an Olympics until 1984. That year, and every Games since, Bhutan has sent only one kind of athlete to the world's greatest carnival of sport. Archery is Bhutan's national pastime. But Olympic archery scarcely resembles the sport that the country's two Olympians, Tshering Chhoden and Jubzhang, practice back home. A Bhutanese archery competition might go on for four days.

Submit A Special Request Olympic Sports History ARCHERY A rchers began forming tournaments when the bow was replaced as the main weapon of war in the 17 th century, and target archery evolved as a competitive sport. One of the oldest known and continuously running tournaments still held today is the Ancient Scorton Silver Arrow contest held in Yorkshire, England. The National Archery Association (NAA) was founded and held its first tournament in Chicago in 1879. Archery didn't become and official event in the modern Olympics until 1900 in Paris, France. Women began competing in the Olympic archery events in 1908 in London. However, international rules had not been developed and each host country used its own format causing confusion. Because of the lack of uniform international rules, archery was eliminated from the Olympic program after 1920 and did not reappear until the 1972 Games in Munich, Germany. In 1930, Poland hosted the first real international archery contest and organized the Federation International de Ter a l'Arc (FITA) or International Archery Federation in 1931. FITA is currently the governing body for international archery competition and implements standardized rules for competition. The 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany were the proving ground where FITA rules were recognized and established. The competitors shot 36 arrows for a single competition and 72 arrows for a double competition. Men shot from 90, 70, 50 and 30 meters while women shot from 70, 60, 50 and 30 meters. In the1988 Games in Seoul, Korea, team competition was added. There are four archery events held at the Olympics: Men's Individual, Women's Individual, Men's Team and Women's Team.

Science Watch Science Lab Meet The Experts Careers SEED Journal Teacher's Corner About Science Center Contact SEED Get Involved ... SEED People Humans have used archery since the dawn of history, first for hunting, warfare, and in modern times for sport. Stone arrowheads over 50,000 years old have been found in Africa, and archery has been used by nearly every society on the earth. There are many occasions when archery has changed the course of history. Not many Olympic sports can claim this grand heritage! Pauline Edwards Software Engineer Tassili rock fresco depicting archer in Egypt from about 7,500 BC The earliest bows were probably short bows, used for hunting in the woods. Bows were used in this way by the American Indians, across Europe, and in the East. The Egyptians were the first to develop composite bows (bows made from several different materials), stretching the intestines of sheep to make the bow string. Egyptian archers rode on the back of chariots and must have been an amazing sight as they hurtled across the deserts around the sides of the enemy armies.
