Since being selected for Paris, the Welsh archer, already mum to toddler son Christian, wanted to send out a powerful message to women and her attendance at the Games has attracted worldwide media attention.

But it has not been all straightforward and after a scare last week, she had to attend a Parisian hospital for a check-up before being released and cleared to compete.

Teaming up with Scotland’s Macqueen, 33, who was paralysed in a motorbike accident when he was 18, the pair finished second behind India in Thursday’s qualification round, earning them a bye into the quarter-finals.

They defeated Australia 150-141 in the last eight before a 156-149 success over Italy in the last four set them up for the final.
