These archers then shot one-fourth the number of arrows normal for a FITA round, with these scores being used to drop more archers. This process was repeated until only 8 archers finished the fourth segment of the second round. Competition format Individual 84 archers competed in the men's individual competition while 62 competed in the women's event wi ...
