Pregnant Para-archer Jodie Grinham and Nathan MacQueen win gold for Great Britain in the mixed team compound final.
Pregnant Para-archer Jodie Grinham and Nathan Macqueen clinched gold for Great Britain by beating Iran 155-151 in the mixed team compound final.
The GB pair led by one point after the first end but the scores were level at 77-77 at the halfway point. "All I wanted to do at the end was jump up and down and cry and scream and shout," Grinham, 31, who won compound team silver with John Stubbs in 2016, told BBC Wales. "The emotion was just a wave and it was like being a child at Christmas and getting your favourite toy."Since being selected for Paris, the Welsh archer - already mum to toddler son Christian - wanted to send out a powerful message to women and her attendance at the Games has attracted worldwide media attention.
