"Over the moon" thanks to Walt Disney…

A good surprise this morning with the qualification for the 1/8 round of number 52 seed Africa Kirstin Jean Lewis from South. "I am over the moon. I feel that I can win a medal and this is great news because I am the only female archer in my country", Lewis said after her 157-153 victory over India’s Sharma Sumangala (ranked 20).

The South African has a secret to stay cool: "My coach (Ian Simpson) has been helping me a lot and I am feeling confident. He keeps me relaxed by telling me stories from Walt Disney cartoons", she revealed.
