Pressure proved too much…

Chen Szu Yuan, who had proved to be one of the top form archers in the first part of the Individual Men’s competition, got to know stage fright in his 1/4 final match with British Laurence Godfrey.

Leading by three points before the last three arrows with a great 86 score out a possible 90, 23-year old Chen scored a disastrous 22-point last end, all but gifting the match to his opponent. The final score of this 1/4 round was 110-108.

Before this, the third seed Italian Marco Galiazzo had defeated US archer Vic Wunderle on a 109-108 score in the first match of the afternoon.
