Sports titbits:Archery
【明報專訊】In the Archery World Cup (organised by the World Archery Federation), archers compete in four stages in four countries. The first stage of it is to take place in Shanghai, China, on 16 May 2017.
Rules
An Olympic archer uses a bow to propel arrows towards a target of ten concentric scoring rings that is 70 m away. In the individual event, each of the 64 archers attempts 72 times in a ranking round to determine his/her ranking. The elimination round follows, in which the first-ranked archer takes on the 64th-ranked, the second faces the 63rd, and so on.
