Larry Godfrey is beaten by Malaysia's Khairul Mohamad in the men's individual archery quarter-finals.

Team GB's Larry Godfrey has lost to Malaysia's Khairul Mohamad in the men's individual archery quarter-finals in a shoot-off.

Mohamad took the opening set with 27 points to Godfrey's 25, after a poor seven from the Briton's third arrow.

The second set ended with a tie after Mohamad's 27 was upgraded to 28, but Godrey hit two bullseyes on his way to a 29.

Godfrey continued to score highly, with two nines and a 10 giving him a 28-26 win for a 5-3 lead heading into the final set.

Mohamad started perfectly in the fifth with a 10, giving him an early lead in the set. A second 10 made him odds-on favourite for the set, with Godrey hitting the line with a nine, potentially upgraded to a 10.

However, he hit an eight with his last arrow, meaning a shoot-off was needed with the final score 5-5.

In the shoot-off Godfrey hit a nine first, but Mohamad was unforgiving with a 10.

There are no further GB representatives in the archery.
