Do Thi Anh Nguyet entered the round of 32 of the women's singles bow event against Mobina Fallah (Iran). This opponent is considered to be on par with each other as the ranking gap between the two athletes is only 1 (Mobina Fallah is ranked 69th, one place higher than Anh Nguyet).
The match was dramatic right from the first shot when both teams scored a total of 25 points. Despite a good start in the second shot with an arrow hitting the 10th ring, Anh Nguyet lost by exactly 1 point to Fallah (26-27).
In the third round, Anh Nguyet competed confidently when all three arrows scored 9 points (total 27 points). Meanwhile, Mobina Fallah had one arrow hit with 8 points and lost with a total of 26 points. The score between the two archers was leveled 3-3.
The same scenario played out in the next two rounds. Mobina Fallah took the lead after round 4 with a score of 29-27 but Anh Nguyet equalized after round 5 with a score of 27-26. At this point, the match entered a tie-break as both archers showed similar skills with the score tied at 5-5.
In the tie-break, the archers only fired one decisive shot to see whose arrow was closer to the center. Anh Nguyet did well to get 10 points in the decisive shot, but Mobina Fallah had an excellent shot to get 10+ points, thereby winning the overall victory. Mobina Fallah will meet archer Elif Berra Gokkir (Turkey) in the next round.
Previously, in the men's singles event, Le Quoc Phong could not create a surprise when he met Dan Olaru (Moldova). While Quoc Phong participated in the Olympics for the first time, Dan Olaru is an experienced athlete, holding the flag for the Moldovan sports delegation in the 2012, 2020 and 2024 Olympics.
The difference in experience helped Dan Olaru shoot more consistently, thereby winning 6-0 after three games (each game won is worth 2 points).
