The first of the last two days at the Rio 2016 Olympic archery competition, women’s finals day will award the penultimate available medal in the sport at the Games.
Ki Bo Bae has a chance to become the first archer to ever defend their individual Olympic title, Choi Misun might be the fourth top seed to win an Olympic crown – or Brazilian archer Ane Marcelle Dos Santos could launch a run in front of a sympathetic home crowd to steal the crown.
