 * __Task 1__**
 * At the Lord 's Cricket Ground in London archery took place between Friday 27th July, and Friday 3rd of August.**
 * The ground can hold up to 6,500 spectators! 128 archers competing for the mens individual, womens individual, mens team and last the**
 * womens team. To go to the Olympics archers may only compete with a recurve bow, there are 3 different types of bows. Recurve, compound**
 * and long bow known as the traditional bow. Before archers could compete in the medal matches they had to do ranking. Archers have to**
 * shoot at 70m. They shoot 72 arrows and the maximum score is 720. The person with the top score would be ranked 1 and they will vs the lowest ranked. Example:**
 * 1 will shoot against 64, 2 will shoot against 63, 3 will shoot against 62 and so on.**

__**Individual**__

 * Each match is played like this, the archer will shoot 5 sets of 3 arrows the top score for the set is 30 points. Who ever wins a set gets 2 points and a draw is 1 point.**
 * if both archers are on a tie of 5-5 the archers will come down to a 1 arrow shoot off, who ever gets the closest to the gold wins!**

__**Teams**__

 * Each country puts in teams, there are 3 archers in each team. The top 4 teams who made it into the quarter-finals was decided by their ranking scores all added together.**
 * The scoring system is the same as the individual events except they arent set points. The arrow totals are added together to give a maximum score of 150 per team shoot.**
 * Mens team event was won by Italy. They werent the favourites, everyone expected the USA team to win. They came away with silver and Korea won bronze. This result was a big upset it was like the All Blacks not winning the world cup.**

__**Medals**__

 * The Korean team also won womens team gold and individual womens gold. Korea has won more Olympic medals in archery than any other country. In Korea archery is popular and all of their Olympic archers would have started at young ages. They shoot for 7 or more hours a day. If they win a gold medal they are given big financial rewards from their country . Pictured below is Oh Jin-Hyek** **he won mens individual gold for Korea. Second place went to Takharu Furuawa from Japan,** **and third went to Dai Xiaoxiang from China.**
