Team GB's Amy Oliver has beaten Indian world number one Deepika Kumari in the women's archery first round.

Oliver impressed throughout against her 18-year-old opponent, and despite a blip in the second set, she progressed to the second round with a 6-2 victory.

Oliver made an excellent start to the match as she hit one 10-point shot on the way to winning the first set 27-26.

She also had an opportunity to take the second set when she required a nine on her final arrow, but she was off range with a four as Kumari levelled the match.

However, she responded superbly to take the third set 27-26 as she threatened to cause a huge upset.

The shock was complete in the fourth set as Kumari left Oliver requiring a nine or better with her final arrow and she stepped up to shoot a 10-point shot to secure the surprise win.
