British archer Larry Godfrey?s Olympic hopes are over, after losing on a one arrow shoot-out to world number five Khairul Anuar Mohamad, who progressed to the quarter-finals. Britain?s Larry Godfrey missed out on a quarter-final place by a single arrow (Picture: Daily Mail) After an uncertain start, Godfrey pulled 5-3 ahead, but two points from the final set for the Malaysian brought him level, leading to the shoot-off at Lord?s. Despite nailing a solid nine, Godfrey ? who finished fourth in Athens eight years ago ? was pipped by Mohamad who made no mistake and hit a ten. ?I woke up this morning feeling good. I did my best and if it was meant to be it was meant to be. All the archers here are of a great standard,? said the 36-year-old Bristolian after his defeat. ?This is the best arena I have ever shot in. It?s a great atmosphere. I took it down to one arrow and he smashed it didn?t he?? Godfrey?s elimination ends Team GB?s archery hopes at London 2012, in what has been a disappointing overall showing from the British archers.
