Stage fright takes hold of home favourite

The last quarterfinal did not lead to the surprise hoped for by all Greek archery fans. Top seed Park Sung Hyun from Korea put an end to Evangelia Psarra’s dream of an Olympic Medal.

The Greek archer actually never recovered from starting the match with a 5-point hit: "My first shot was very bad and then I tried to recover, but it was very difficult," she objectively analyzed after her disillusion. Park finally clinched the match with a 10-point lead. "I am happy that I reached the quarterfinals and competed against one of the best archers in the world", Psarra added.
