The women's individual W1 archery discipline at the 2024 Summer Paralympics was contested from 29 to 31 August at Les Invalides, Paris.[1]

Format

In the ranking round each archer shoots 72 arrows, and is seeded according to score. In the knock-out stages each archer shoots three arrows per set against an opponent, the scores being aggregated. Losing semifinalists compete in a bronze medal match.[2] As the field contained 11 archers, the five highest ranked archers will proceed directly to the quarter-final round; the remaining six will enter in the Round of 16.

Classification

Athletes in the W1 category usually have an impairment in the top and bottom halves of their bodies, torso and at least three limbs.

Para archers in the W1 category may use either a recurve or a compound bow with limitations on draw weight, a restriction on magnified sights and other changes to the standard rules. The rules for targets, competition and matchplay for W1 archers are largely the same as for compound archers.[3]

Records

72 Arrow Ranking Round:[4] Šárka Musilová broke the World and Paralympic record during the event scoring 659.[5]
