 Nerves are an unwelcome companion in any sport but, in archery, where a steady hand is so paramount, they are especially deadly. But Michelle Frangilli won over his nerves made most commendable thing to make a 10 when pressure so high and stakes were so high.



A dream came true, hearts were broken, a dynasty crumbled - all on the fickle flights of arrows on Saturday. Michele Frangilli's final shot earned Italy the Olympic archery team gold medal at Lord's Cricket Ground, denying the United States in the cruellest of fashions at the climax of a pulsating men's final.
