Knockout stage

Round of 16

The top sixteen teams in the qualifying round earned the opportunity to compete in the head-to-head elimination matches.

Quarterfinals

All four of the top-ranked teams fell in the quarterfinals, eliminating them from medal contention and leaving such surprise contenders as #10-ranked host nation Spain.

Semifinals

The host nation continued an impressive run by knocking off the #6-ranked British team in a close match.

Final

After having defeated #7-ranked Denmark, #2-ranked Unified Team, and #6-ranked Great Britain, Spain was able to pull off one more astonishing upset, this time against #5-ranked Finland, to claim the gold medal on their home turf. It was Spain's first Olympic medal in archery.
