TOKYO: An San kept South Korea’s Olympic flag flying in women’s archery as she took the individual title, brushing off online criticism of her hairstyle to become the first archer to win three golds at a single Games.

Top-seeded An San held her nerve as both her final and semi-final went to shootoffs, downing Elena Osipova of the Russian Olympic Committee to take gold. Italy’s Lucilla Boari won bronze.
