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.

But it has not been all straightforward and after a scare last week, she had to attend a Parisian hospital for a check-up before being released and cleared to compete.

Teaming up with Scotland’s Macqueen, 33, who was paralysed in a motorbike accident when he was 18, the pair finished second behind India in Thursday’s qualification round, earning them a bye into the quarter-finals.

They defeated Australia 150-141 in the last eight before a 156-149 success over Italy in the last four set them up for the final.

“The idea was to show that nothing is impossible and to go out there and smash it,” added Grinham.

“Thankfully I have an amazing team partner and it doesn’t matter how I will shoot, I know he will be there and carry my back and we smashed it together.

“We are an amazing team and are bringing back the medal that we have worked so hard to get.”
