After a disappointing individual performance at Rio, archer Ryan Tyack hopes a strong showing at the Australian Open in Brisbane will kickstart his three-year-long Olympic campaign for Tokyo.
The 25-year-old claimed an Olympic bronze medal for Australia in the men's team alongside Taylor Worth and Alec Potts but fell short in the individual event.
"I was super happy with my performance in the team event in Rio, hitting the 10 over 70 per cent of the time, which was incredible," Tyack said.
"Unfortunately I wasn't able to maintain that form in my individual matches."
Tyack, currently ranked 80th in the world, has resumed training since taking a break after Rio and will contest the Australian Open in Brisbane this weekend.

"I have been doing a few public speaking appearances and trying to develop and build something around that so that I can continue with my shooting towards Tokyo," he said.
"Since Rio I have been working on those technical flaws that I carried into the Games, although changing major aspects of technique can be a delicate process.
"But I'm confident that once I get it down I'll be better than ever."
