Ryan Tyack
Athlete Biography
Ryan Tyack’s mum, Lynette, wanted her son to spend less time playing computer games and to get
outside and meet people. He wanted to try either archery or fencing (due to the computer games
he played) and there was an open day at his archery club the next weekend. His personal coach is
now his mum, Lynette, when he is not with the Australian team.
He started archery in 2000 and made his international junior debut in 2003 and senior World Cup
debut in 2010. He represented Australia at the 2005 and 2009 Australian Youth Olympic Festivals.
He won the team gold at the 2008 World Youth Championships (with Taylor Worth) and at the 2011
World Youth Championships he won individual silver.
When Tyack was at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra he was asked to try out for the
Beijing Olympic Team, and ended up as the reserve. For London Australia only quali┄끈ed one spot
and his friend Taylor Worth performed better at Trials. He will be 25 in Rio when he makes his
Olympic debut at arguably his third Olympic campaign.
In senior events Tyack won the world indoor title in 2014, after ┄끈nishing ninth in 2012. Outdoors his
best individual world championship result was 33rd in 2013 and 2015. In the Team event he was
ninth in 2013 and eighth in 2015 (with his Rio 2016 teammates Taylor Worth and Alec Potts.)
At World Cups his best individual result was sixth at Antalya in 2015. He won Team silver with
Worth and Matt Gray at a World Cup in 2014. Tyack competed at the Rio Test event along with
Worth and Potts.

Taylor Worth
Athlete Biography
Worth was Australia’s sole male representative at the London 2012 Olympic Games where he
competed at the iconic Lords Cricket Ground. He provided one of the upsets of the archery
tournament when he knocked o‥ְ American World No.1 Brady Ellison. Another thriller followed
when Worth was agonisingly defeated in a shoot-o‥ְ 9-8 to China’s Xiaoxiang Dai and just missed
out on the quarter-뀼䈣nals and 뀼䈣nished the Games in ninth.
He made his breakthrough on the national and international scene in 2010 when he was part of the
Australian Team that won gold in the team event at the Delhi Commonwealth Games. He went on
to win the National Championship, a gold medal at the US Open, and was crowned Australian
Archer of the Year.
Worth has been very consistent since London with his individual performances. He was seventh at
the 2013 World Championships, fourth at the 2014 World Indoor Championships and ninth at the
2015 World Championships. He was also fourth at a World Cup in 2014 and still searching for that
major podium breakthrough.
Worth along with Ryan Tyack and Alec Potts quali뀼䈣ed Australia the quota spot for the Team event
in Rio when they were eighth at the 2015 World Championships in Copenhagen. They all competed
at the Rio Test Event to familiarise themselves with the famous Sambodromo, where the Carnival is
held in Rio.
He started archery in 2001 and made his international debut in 2008. He competed at the 2009
Australian Youth Olympic Festival and made big improvements to be the sole male representative
at London 2012.
