Pregnant para-archer Jodie Grinham beat ParalympicsGB team-mate and defending champion Phoebe Paterson Pine to win bronze in the women’s individual compound.
Grinham’s bronze in Paris is her first individual Paralympic medal after she won compound mixed team silver at the 2016 Rio Games.
Trailing by two points after the fourth end, Haverfordwest’s Grinham, who is seven months pregnant, scored 29 in the fifth and final end.
It was a total that couldn’t be matched by Paterson Pine, who scored 26 to lose the tie 142-141.
“I’m really proud of myself, I’ve had difficulties and it’s not been easy,” said 31-year-old Grinham, who spent this week “in and out of hospital” in Paris.
“But as long as I’m healthy and baby’s healthy, I knew we could compete. I knew if I shot as well as I could I could come back with a medal.
“Baby hasn’t stopped kicking, it’s almost like baby’s going ‘what’s going on, it’s really loud, mummy what are you doing?’. But it has been a lovely reminder of the support bubble I have in my belly.”
Grinham is back in action on Monday in the mixed team compound with Nathan MacQueen.
