Thin Thin Khaing drew an opponent ranked 70 places ahead of her in the opening round, but made the most of it, managing to make it the closest match of the Games. Down one point with two arrows left, Thin hit a ten and watched her opponent score eight, pulling her ahead. However, her Polish opponent responded with a ten on her final shot to force a tie. On the first tiebreaker shot, both archers shot a nine, which they both repeated on the second shot. On the third shot, Sobieraj hit another nine, but Thin could only manage a seven, which eliminated her. This match was the only one in the Archery competition to require three tie-breaker shots.
Aye Khine Nan lifted enough to win tie for fourth place, but tested positive for an anabolic steroid, and was stripped of her result.[2]
