Set to captivate audiences worldwide, our elite athletes will showcase their extraordinary talents over 8 action-packed days, from 29 August to 5 September. Women take the lead, shooting first in each category, with Mixed team matches starting from 2 September. The W1 category concludes its battles first, with the last medals awarded by lunchtime on 2 September. This early triumph sets the stage for a thrilling transition to the Compound Open category, where the final rounds unfold at the conclusion of 2 September.

For Recurve archers, their journey begins on the opening day of the competition, 29 August, showcasing their precision and skill. However, a touch of anticipation awaits them as they patiently wait until 3 September to commence their elimination rounds. For an explanation of the classifications, click here.
