Modern archery in Mongolia has been developed with the support of Czech specialists. The country has sent an archery trainer Antonín Šimek in 1960, who trained the first Mongolians to complete in international competitions and in 1961 also brought the first internationally certified equipment to Ulaanbaatar from Europe. This effort later led also to the first ever world gold medal for Doljin Demberel.

Demberel finished 36th in the women's individual event with a score of 2152 points.[5][6]
