Compound Archery to Make Olympic Debut at LA28

The first-ever Olympic medal for compound archers will be awarded at the 2028 Olympic Games, following the International Olympic Committee’s announcement that the compound mixed team event will be added to the archery programme in Los Angeles.

It marks an historic milestone for the sport and the global compound archery community.

The compound mixed team competition joins the existing five recurve events – men’s and women’s individual, men’s and women’s team, and mixed team – on the programme, bringing the total number of archery medals available to six.

It is the first time since archery’s reintroduction to the Olympic Games in 1972 that a new bowstyle is added to the competition.
