12 April 2012

England archer Nicky Hunt was overwhelmed after an astonishing performance earned her the gold medal in the women's individual compound in Delhi.

And team-mate Duncan Busby soon joined her in the gold medal club, beating Chris White in an all-England final of the men's individual compound.

Hunt hit an incredible 12 perfect 10s from 15 arrows to take gold in the final against Canada's Doris Jones, falling only four points short of a maximum total.

"I hope I'm not dreaming," she said afterwards. "This field's amazing and it was a phenomenal final. Doris shot unbelievable arrows.

"I can't put into words how much this means. I fear I'm going to wake up and find it was all a dream."

Hunt, who added a second gold to the team compound title she won two days ago, added: "Two gold medals is more than I could ever have hoped for. I'm sure it will sink in over the next few days but at the moment it just doesn't feel real."

In the another close-fought final, Busby beat White by 115-113.
