Italy at the 2000 Summer Olympics

Archery

The men's team, which returned two members of the bronze medal-winning 1996 squad, did even better in 2000. They defeated the United States in the semifinal to guarantee themselves at least a silver medal. The Korean men, however, ensured that the Italians did not win the gold medal by defeating them in the final.

Women's team:

Valeeva, Ioriatti, and Franchini – quarterfinal, 7th place (1-1)

Men's team:

Frangilli, di Buo, and Bisiani – final, silver medal (3-1)
