[edit] Acronym usage

64 archers took part in the Olympics, with each NOC being able to enter a maximum of three archers.

What is an NOC? I'm guessing it's roughly equivalent to "country", but the article doesn't say, and it ought to really. --Camembert

National Olympic Committee when referring to sport normally but you can never guarantee what the writer meant. Could be Never Opinionated Christian or Normally Outlandish Cuckoo?? Scraggy4 00:30, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Expanded the acronym. - Jonel 02:38, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Thanks both. Good article, by the way :) --Camembert

[edit] Copyright violation

If you check this section of the official website, you will see that when you place the arrow over the pictogram, the text says that they are property of the ATHOC (ATHens Organizing Committee). Is there any cause for this to be considered fair use? As a matter of fact, there are quite a few articles on olympic events displaying the respective pictograms, it would appear that all of them will have to be removed. Redux 05:14, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Four arrow shootoff

The official website is slightly misleading in the result of Sobieraj vs Thin in the womens round of 64. The tie-break went 9-9, 8-8, 8-8 but a fourth arrow was required as the third arrows were too close to call even after measuring the distance to the center/ Sobieraj then won 9-7 on the fourth arrow, see [1] (polish) Matthewmayer 10:05, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
