Athletes that compete professionally: archery at the Olympics from 1996 to 2020

The biggest Olympics ever held were hosted in North America in 1996. Tennis, track cycling, and archery were all competed in Stone Mountain Park, a beautiful location 15 miles outside of Atlanta. Olympic fans can buy   Olympic Archery Tickets   from our website. Instead of its legacy of sporting prowess, the larger event is likely best remembered for its gaudy commercialization (which ultimately led to the rigorous branding laws still in place today), a few organizing missteps, and a terrorist attack. But one of the biggest surprises in Olympic history was revealed at the archery competitions. The first qualification and quota system was implemented in Atlanta when 128 archers—64 men and 64 women—were set as the maximum number. As a result, archery became one of the first Olympic sports to feature equal gender representation. All 72 arrows in the qualifying round were shot at 70 meters, cutting the original round of 144.

  Chrissie Lyons, of New Lenox, made the decision to take up archery three years ago after taking her daughter to a session. Although Lyons, 47, has always found archery fascinating, she hadn't even thought of taking classes or participating in competitions. Olympic fans can buy Olympic Archery Tickets from our website.   Lyons has since won medals in a number of domestic and international tournaments. At the Pan American Championships in Santiago, Chile, in November, Lyons competed in bare bow recurve archery and took home three gold medals for individual, mixed, and women's team.   In August 2020, in the U.S. Nationals, Lyons broke the double-round archery world record. No one is more astonished than Lyons, he said. "Each time, I simply thought, there’s no way. This cannot go on like this.
