London 2012 Archery Google Doodle (July 28th, 2012)
The second Olympic games, Paris 1900, saw the first appearance of archery. 7 disciplines in varying distances were contested. Between 1920 and 1972, archery was not contested at the Olympic games. The archery competition that was featured at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich consisted of a double FITA Round competition with two events – men’s individual and women’s individual. This form of the archery competition was held until the 1988 Summer Olympics, when team competition was added and the Grand FITA Round format was used. Starting at the 1992 Summer Olympics, the Olympic Round with head-to-head matches was adopted, and has been used ever since. – Source: Wikipedia
