Preview: Archers prepare for action

The world's best archers are set to begin their bid for Olympic Games glory at Lord's Cricket Ground - just hours before the London 2012 Opening Ceremony takes place.

Archery at Lord's Cricket Ground
Lord's Cricket Ground will host the London 2012 Archery competitions.

All 128 archers - 64 men and 64 women - will shoot in a preliminary ranking round that determines seedings for the Individual and Team events.

The men's ranking round begins at 9am.

All the archers have had a chance to familiarise themselves with the venue. They got their only opportunity to shoot in the elimination range on Wednesday before the knockout matches got under way.

After his practice session, Great Britain's Simon Terry said: 'We hope (being the Host Nation) brings us an advantage, but we're just going to keep our cool out there.'
