AIS at the Olympics
The 2005 Italian Grand Prix may well be the watershed competition for Australia's female archers. After qualifying strongly Lexie Feeney won through her first round match but found it a little tougher going in the next round against Frigeri(ITA) who was supported by the home crowd. Despite this Lexie showed great composure and maturity to come away with a good win. Lexie shot against Mospinek (POL) for the top prize, but despite her best efforts wasn't able to match it with the Pole. The final result saw Lexie win the silver medal and become the Australian Institute or Sport Archery Program's first female international medal.
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing Feeney finished her ranking round with a total of 580 points. This gave her the 59th seed for the final competition bracket in which she faced Yuan Shu-Chi in the first round. The archer from Chinese Taipei was too strong and won the confrontation with 104–101, eliminating Feeney straight away.[Athlete biography: Alexandra Feeney](_blank)
