Archery
Colombia sent archers to the Olympics for the third time and first since 1992; the nation sought its first Olympic medal in the sport. Colombia qualified a full team of three women by placing ninth in the women's team event at the 2007 World Outdoor Target Championships (because host China took seventh, nine teams were taken instead of the usual eight).[2] The team that Colombia sent to the Olympics was the same that competed at the Worlds: Sigrid Romero, Ana Rendón, and Natalia Sánchez.[3]
