Archery
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.
Women's Individual Competition:
- Luann Ryon — 2499 points (→ OR, Gold Medal)
- Linda Myers — 2393 points (→ 7th place)
Men's Individual Competition:
- Darrell Pace — 2571 points (→ OR, Gold Medal)
- Richard McKinney — 2471 points (→ 4th place)
