The medals were presented by Uğur Erdener, IOC member, Turkey and Tom Dielen, Secretary General of the World Archery Federation.

As with the other archery events, the men's individual was a recurve archery event, held under the World Archery-approved 70-meter distance and rules.

Competition began with a ranking round, in which each archer shot 72 arrows.

The scores from the ranking round were used to seed the archers into a single-elimination bracket.

If the match was tied 5-5 after 5 sets, a single tie-breaker arrow was used with the closest to center winning.
