Publisher's Synopsis
Archery is a unique sport and discipline: it has been adopted by wildlife enthusiasts and by Olympic athletes, and the skills required to succeed within both these spheres are very similar but also hugely different.
This book talks mostly about archers who rose to the pinnacle of sporting achievement at Olympic and World competition: it is a set of trivia exercises that will help you place these legendary sportspeople in their correct historical and geographical context. I have kept the content of the book as cosmopolitan as possible: you will discover icons of archery from every country in the world. As you do this, you will gain newfound appreciation for just how egalitarian and global the sport of archery is: hard work, naturally gifted reflexes, and a will to excel and undying determination are the common factors that you can observe in pretty much every achiever in this unique sport, that stands on the border between outdoor and indoor athletic disciplines. I hope you learn many new things!
