The matches were suspended until 17:45 due to a thunderstorm.

France and Great Britain are facing each other for the Olympic bronze medal. The two teams have met twice since 2007, both times at the first World Cup stage in Korea in 2007 and Dominican Republic this year. Great Britain won these two head-to-head matches.

Cooled off by the delay caused by heavy rain, the athletes on the field start slowly. Great Britain starts with a 48 end versus 46 for France.

France's SCHUH, DODEMONT and ARNOLD shoot a little on the right, but their arrows are quite grouped and they manage to turn over the match to their advantage 98-97.

In the third end FOLKARD, WILLIAMSON and BURGESS release three very good arrows and three lower ones. They stay in close contact with their opponents from France 149-150.

Nobody can guess which team will leave with the bronze medal... After two 10s shot by the French in the last end, the third archer , DODEMONT, needs a 7 to ensure the victory. She releases an 8 and Team France takes the first archery medal in Beijing! After missing the bronze medal to Chinese Taipei in Athens 2004, France wins it this time versus Great Britain by 203-201.
