Great Britain at The 2008 Summer Paralympics - Archery

Archery

Great Britain's archery squad for the Games included twelve athletes. In all, four archery medals, two gold, one silver and one bronze, were won by British archers, which meant that they finished second in the archery medal table. John Stubbs, a former England disabled cricketer, set a new world record score of 691 in the ranking round on the route to victory in the men's individual compound open. In the equivalet women's event Danielle Brown beat compatriot, and eventual bronze medallist, Mel Clarke before going on to win the gold.
