Archer Nathan MacQueen from Dumfries and partner Jodie Grinham triumphed in the mixed team compound final, beating Iran 155-151.

Sport Scotland Director of Sport Craig Burn says : "A huge congratulations to Nathan Macqueen on bringing home a Gold Medal at the Paralympic Games. Scottish athletes continue to deliver consistently on the world stage across a range of sports, demonstrating that Scotland's approach to developing a pathway to performance sport is paying off.
