The best 16 male and 16 female teams will battle it out on the Quintana field, who will field three archers as usual (plus reserves), each belonging to a different division: Olympic bow, compound and bare bow. If the arrival of the delegations, the practice shots and the parade of the teams for the opening ceremony is expected on April 24, Monday April 25 will get serious with the actual competition: it will begin with the group matches, at the at the end of which the best four will come out and the semifinals will be played and, subsequently, the final of the women and then of the men who assign the title.
