There's been success for Scunthorpe Archer Victoria Rumary at the paralympics.

She won bronze on her debut appearance at the games in the W1 women's individual event in Tokyo.

Having defeated Brazilian Rejane Candida Da Silva and Italy's Asia Pellizzari earlier on Wednesday, the 33-year-old was denied progression to the gold medal match by a 127-107 loss to Czech Sarka Musilova.

Rumary recovered from that setback to earn the final podium place at Yumenoshima Final Field courtesy of a 131-123 success against American Lia Coryell.

Rumary first took up archery as a 14-year-old, made her international debut six years ago, and came into these games ranked world number one in the W1 category.

Congratulations to Victoria.
