London 2012 archery Google doodle is the third time the sport has hit the bulls eye as far as Olympics related doodles are concerned.

The first archery related Google doodle was on September 18, 2000, day 4 of the Sydney Olympic games. The doodle represented a kangaroo taking aim at one of the letter Os in the Google logo.

The archery event at Sydney was held at the Sydney International Archery Park. The Korean team won three out of the four gold medals contested. Eight Olympic records and three world records were broken at the Sydney Olympics.

The day 5 of Athens Olympics, 17th August 2004, saw archery stake claim to another Google doodle. This doodle had a woman in traditional Greek dress taking aim.

The archery competition at Athens was held at the Panathinaiko Stadium. The Korean team, again, won three out of the four gold medals contested. Four Olympic records and several other world records were broken at these games.

It will be interesting to see what sport finds its place in Sunday's Google doodle.
