Archery was first played in the Olympic Games in
1900 and thereafter in 1904, 1908, and 1920. Hubert van Innis of
Belgium is the most celebrated archer in Olympic history, winning
six gold medals and three silvers in 1900 and 1920. After 1920,
archery was withdrawn from the Olympics. It reappeared in 1972 with
an individual event for men and for women in which the Americans
John Williams and Doreen Wilber of the USA won the gold medals. Team
event debuted in Seoul 1988 Games. Here are the Olympic Records made
