'Exceptional archery within us'published at 04:05 British Summer Time 24 July 2021
Mixed team event
Team GB archers Patrick Huston and Sarah Bettles on their victory over China:
Huston: "I think we shot at a really high standard – the two of us have some exceptional archery within us and we demonstrated that with really tight, consistent groups.
"Frankly, I think I’ll go and lie down in the big, air-conditioned building and switch off for an extended period of time [before facing Mexico in the quarter-finals]. I’ll stick my headphones in, put some nice, relaxing music on and turn off for the next while."
On competing with no fans:
Bettles: "I enjoy it without the fans! Don’t get me wrong, I do love the atmosphere when the fans are there but I don’t always notice it because I kind of just zone in on me and the target and I forget about the fans.
"It’s only really when we’re standing, talking, not shooting that I’d notice people around. We still had some of our team sat up there, which was nice anyway."
