Archery at the 1920 Summer Olympics

Archery at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp marked the return of the sport after a 12-year absence following it not being contested in the 1912 Summer Olympics and the cancellation of the 1916 Summer Olympics due to World War I. The only competitors were men, and from only three countries. Belgium sent 14 archers, while France and the Netherlands each sent 8.[1]
