Main article: Archery at the 2000 Summer Olympics

All three American men won their first matches in archery at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Two of them lost in the second round, but Vic Wunderle reached the finals. He was defeated by Simon Fairweather, who was popular with the home crowd in Sydney. The team was surprised by Italy in the semifinal and had to compete in a tie-breaker against Russia to win the bronze medal. Karen Scavotto faced Denise Parker in the first round, meaning one of the American women would not continue.

Baseball

Main article: Baseball at the 2000 Summer Olympics

Baseball changed its rules for the 2000 Olympics. In earlier years, only amateur players could join, so teams like the United States used college players. In 2000, professional players were allowed, but the major leagues did not send their best players. Because of this, the best players were often missing, which is why baseball is no longer part of the Olympic games.
