Naomi Folkard hits back to progress in women's archery

Team GB's Naomi Folkard has progressed in the women's individual archery after she came back to defeat Russian Kristina Timofeeva 6-4.

Timofeeva capitalised on a six by Folkard on her opening shot to take the opening 27-24.

However, Folkard hit back in the second set with a total score of 26, which was enough to level the match as Timofeeva fell short by one point.

The Russian soon shook off the second set disappointment to score a maximum of 30 in the third set to regain the lead in the match.

The match continued its topsy-turvy nature in the next set when Folkard hit scores of 10, 9 and 9 to take the match into a deciding set.

Timofeeva could only score seven with her opening shot, and Folkard capitalised on her poor score to qualify for the next round.
