Pregnant Para-archer Jodie Grinham and Nathan MacQueen clinched gold for Great Britain by beating Iran 155-151 in the mixed team compound final.

It is a second medal in Paris for Grinham, who is seven months pregnant, after she beat team-mate Phoebe Paterson Pine to win women’s individual compound bronze on Saturday.

The GB pair led by one point (39-38) after the first end but the scores were level at 77-77 at the halfway point.

A couple of 8s from Iran’s Hadi Nori helped give GB a two-point lead (115-113) going into the final end and they responded in style with a perfect score of 40 to secure the title.
