After winning both
gold medals in the first modern Olympic archery contest at the
1972 Summer Olympics, the US returned only one of the six archers who had competed in
Munich,
Linda Myers. Even though neither of the reigning gold medallists competed in Montreal, the United States again won both gold medals.
Luann Ryon set new Olympic records for women's competition in both the single
FITA round and the double FITA round categories.
Darrell Pace did the same in the men's competition. All four of the American archers placed in the top eight. ==Athletics==
