Archery edit

The Finnish team sent only men to the 1992 archery tournament. Individually, only Jari Lipponen had much success, taking eighth place after losing in the quarterfinal. As a team, however, the Finnish men were very successful, losing the final match to Spain by only two points to finish with a silver medal.
