    Sometimes, the difference between Olympic gold and silver is the narrowest of margins. In this case, three millimetres.

    The men's individual archery final between Kim Woo-jin of South Korea and Brady Ellison of USA came down to a one-arrow shoot-off as they were tied at 5-5 after five sets.

    The fifth set had ended 30-30, after both men hit the 10-point bullseye with all three of their arrows.

    In the shoot-off, whoever fires their arrow closest to the centre of the target wins. Kim shot his 58mm from the middle, then Ellison's landed 61mm away.

    By that margin, top seed Kim won gold while Ellison - twice a world champion but never an Olympic champ - took silver.

    Lee Woo-seok also got on the podium for Korea, winning the bronze medal match 6-0 versus Germany's Florian Unruh, who earlier beat Tom Hall of Great Britain in the round of 16.

  20. Hall out as GB interest in archery ends

    It's all over at the archery for Team GB, where their final remaining respresentative Tom Hall has been knocked out in the men's round of 16.

    The 33-year-old from Kenilworth, Warwickshire put up a good fight against the third-ranked Florian Unruh of Germany though, so nearly forcing a shoot-off.

    Unruh led 5-1 after three sets, but Hall won the fourth 27-26 with three nines - one of which had to be checked by judges as it was right on the boundary between eight and nine - to keep the match alive.

    In the fifth and final set, Hall and Unruh both shot 19 after two arrows - but the Brit was wayward with his third to hit eight, while the German struck nine to pull through.

    Reaching the round of 16 was a good result for Dean, as he came into Paris as the 51st ranked archer out of the 64 male competitors.

    But his loss means there are no British representatives remaining in archery, a sport in which Team GB have not won an Olympic medal since 2004.

  21. South Korea's Lim claims third archery gold

    South Korea's Lim Si-hyeon has claimed her third gold medal of the Paris 2024 Olympics having won the women's individual title in archery.

    The 21-year-old, who beat Great Britain's Megan Havers earlier today in the round of 16, overcame team-mate Nam Su-hyeon 7-3 in the women's final.

    That completed a clean sweep for Lim as she also won the women's team and mixed team titles.

    Lisa Barbelin of France claimed a 6-4 win over another South Korean - Jeon Hun-young - to win the bronze medal.

    Great Britain's hopes of a medal in the women's individual event in Paris ended with teenager Megan Havers after she was knocked out in the last-16.

    Havers, who at 16-years-old is the youngest archer at the Games, lost 6-1 to South Korea's top seed Lim Sihyeon at Les Invalides.

    Leicester-born Havers started well, tying the first set, but struggled to keep up with Sihyeon's consistency.

    “Finishing where I am and shooting how I have just has made me hungry for the next Olympics," she said after her exit.

    "I can't wait to see what four years brings for me."

    Britons Penny Healey and Bryony Pitman were also knocked out of the individual event earlier this week and the trio did not progress past the first round in the team event.

    Sihyeon has already won two gold medals in the French capital with victory in the women's and mixed team events.

    South Korea have won three gold medals in archery at Paris 2024

    South Korea won gold in the Olympic mixed team archery, with a brilliant 6-0 victory over Germany in the final.

    Kim Woo-jin finished off the final with a bullseye to triumph alongside Lim Si-hyeon, beating Florian Unruh and Michelle Kroppen.

    It is the third gold medal South Korea have won in archery in Paris. Lim and Kim won gold in the women's and men's team events respectively earlier in the Games.

    USA pair Brady Ellison and Casey Kaufhold took bronze.

  24. GB's Pitman knocked out in round of 16

    Great Britain's Bryony Pitman was knocked out of the Olympic women's individual archery at the last-16 stage as she was beaten by Li Jiaman of China.

    The 27-year-old from Shoreham-by-Sea defeated Angela Ruiz of Mexico 6-0 in her opening match.

    But she could not cope with the consistency of Li at Les Invalides, and was beaten by the same scoreline.

    It means Pitman does not follow GB team-mate Megan Havers into the quarter-finals, after the 16-year-old progressed on Wednesday.
