Rochmawati proves too strong for Amy Oliver

Oliver defeated in archery second round

Team GB's Amy Oliver has lost in the second round of the women's individual archery.

Oliver had secured a shock victory over Indian world number Deepika Muwari in the first round, but a slow start saw her defeated 6-1 by Indonesia's Ika Yuliana Rochmawati.

Rochmawati ignored the jubilation of Oliver's earlier victory to take the first set 28-24.

The Indonesian looked impeccable as she opened the second set with a 10 on the way to taking the set 28-23.

Oliver and Rochmawati exchanged 10-point shots at the beginning of the third set, and the pair went on to share the third set 28-28.

A remarkable run of scoring saw both competitors hit successive 10-point shots at the start of the fourth set, but while Oliver could only finish the set with an eight, the Indonesian hit a further 10 to progress to the quarter-finals.
