Archery has long been celebrated for gender equality in competition. Particularly in the modern era, women have taken an equal role in competition – and increasingly in governance as well.

The sport was among the first to include a women’s event at the Olympics – in 1904 – and World Archery was the first international federation to have a female president.

The available prize money on the Hyundai Archery World Cup has been equal since the international circuit’s inception in 2006. Mixed team competition, which will make its Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020, sees men and women compete together.
