Australia’s archery history at the Commonwealth Games
October 9, 2020
The Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games welcomed back archers and their bow and quivers to the athletes’ village when the sport made its second appearance at the Commonwealth Games.
Archery maintains the status as an optional sport in the Commonwealth Games sport programme, whereby the host nation may choose to include archery in its event program for the Games.
Indian games officials decided to include the historic sport on the event schedule given the popularity of the sport in the country, but the first and only other time archery had been included on the program was at the Brisbane 1982 Commonwealth Games.
The Brisbane events were held from 2 October to 5 October 1982 at the Murarrie Recreation Reserve, where the sport had a relatively modest Commonwealth Games debut.

WA Archer Taylor Worth Selected for Rio Olympics
Western Australian archer Taylor Worth has secured selection for a second Olympic campaign after being named on Australia’s three-strong men’s Archery Team for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
The Brisbane based athlete at 25, will compete at a second Olympics, having debuted in London back in 2012, however the Busselton born eagle-eye is anticipating a very different experience in Brazil.
“Rio will be a completely different Olympic experience for me,” Worth said.
