Date	16 – 19 September 2000
Status	Olympic
Location	Sydney International Archery Park, Olympic Park, Sydney, New South Wales
Participants	64 from 34 countries
Format	Ranking round consisted of 72 arrows, 18 each at 30 metres, 50 metres, 70 metres, and 90 metres. Matches in rounds 1-3 consisted of 16 arrows. Matches in the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final round consisted of 12 arrows. Tie-breaking for the final placements was done by the following method. Losers in each round were ranked according to the score they shot in that round. Ties in that round were broken by the number of 10s shot in that round and then the number of 9s shot in that round. If still tied the score in the preceding round was used as the tie-breaker, followed by number of 10s, and then number of 9s in the preceding round. Matches shot entirely at 70 metres.
Olympic Record (Match, 12 arrows)	114 WR / Kim Su-Nyeong KOR / 2 August 1992
Olympic Record (Match, 18 arrows)	168 / Natalia Nasaridze-Çakir TUR / 31 July 1996
Olympic Record (Ranking Round, 72 arrows)	673 WR / Lina Herasymenko UKR / 28 July 1996

Korean women were by now dominant in the sport. They had won the individual gold medal at every Olympics since 1984, and the team gold medal every time the event had been contested, since 1988. Their team had world champions, world record holders, and Asian Games champions, but it was so strong that none of them qualified for the Sydney Olympics, as three “new” archers appeared in Sydney. One was actually not quite so new. Kim Su-Nyeong had won the 1988 Olympic gold medal and the 1989 and 1991 World Championship, and was considered the greatest women’s archer ever. After winning individual silver at the 1992 Olympics, she had retired, but came back in 1999 and made the 2000 Korean archery team.

The matches saw all three Koreans advance to the semi-finals, where they were joined by surprising North Korean Choe Ok-Sil. Kim lost to her teammate Yun Mi-Jin 107-105, while Choe went out to Kim Nam-Sun 114-107. Kim Su-Nyeong defeated Choe in the bronze medal match to give Korea the medal sweep. The gold medal went to Yun, in a close 107-106 victory over Kim Nam-Sun. Yun would later win the 2003 World Championship.
