Various kinds of archery competition were on the Olympic program from 1900 through 1920. The exact type of competition depended on the host country. England, in 1900, and the United States, in 1908, favored target archery.
Countries on the European continent, though, favored more exotic kinds of competition, usually more closely associated with hunting.
After 1920, the International Olympic Committee took control of medal sports and archery was dropped because there were no standardized international rules.
An international governing body was finally organized in 1931 to standardize rules and oversee competition, but target archery wasn't restored to the Olympics until 1972.
From 1972 through 1988, standings were based on cumulative scores. Since 1992, competition has been based on a single-elimination tournament. The scores shown for those Olympics are for the gold medal contest between two archers.
