 Summer Olympics. Archery was reintroduced at the 1972 Munich games and a women's team event has been a part of the Archery program since the 1988 Seoul Games. The Double FITA Round was altered to an Olympic Round beginning at the 1992 Barcelona games.

South Korea has won both the most medals and golds: 6 and 6, respectively. 10 nations have shared the 20 medals awarded in this event.

Format

Each country that has three archers in the individual competition also gets to compete as a team. The same three archers from the individual competition must compete as the country's team. Their scores in the individual ranking round are added to determine the team's ranking round score.
The first team round is the round of 16, but as the number of teams is usually between 9 and 15 the highest ranked teams typically get a bye in the first round. Matches consist of each team firing 27 arrows in 3 ends of 9 arrows, with each archer on the team firing 3 arrows per end. Advancement and medals are determined in the same manner as the individual competition.

2008 changes

The number of arrows per team in a match was reduced to 24, in 4 ends of 6 arrows. Each of the three archers on a team shot 8 arrows in a match.
