Relax, breathe, focus, and follow through. The more relaxed the mind and body can be, the more likely you are to stay focused, avoid distractions, and hit your target. The lessons that work for archery also work for life.

Women's archery was first introduced to the Olympic Games in 1904, albeit as a demonstration sport. However, it wasn't until the 1972 Munich Olympics that women's archery became an official part of the Olympic program. Since then, women have consistently contributed to the sport's growth and popularity, showcasing their skill and precision on the global stage. Today, women's archery stands as an integral and celebrated part of the sport, with athletes from around the world competing at the highest levels.

At the Olympic Games in St. Louis (1904) and in England (1908), archery was taken seriously, although it later fell into oblivion. There was a brief representation in Belgium (1920), but it would take another 52 years until archery became established as an Olympic sport in the Munich 1972 Games.
