England won the men's and women's team compound archery gold medals at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi. The women's trio of Danielle Brown, Nicky Hunt and Nichola Simpson beat Canada 232-229 to win their title.
Brown also took home a Paralympics gold from Beijing two years ago. "I don't rank one achievement higher than the other. The Paralympics was amazing and it was my first big competition," said the 22-year-old from Yorkshire.
"But winning here against able-bodied competitors is equally awesome."
Looking to the future, she told BBC Leeds: "I can't compete at the Olympics because I shoot a compound bow and only the recurve bow is included in the Olympics, but I'm definitely wanting to go to 2012 for the Paralympics."
Team-mate Hunt paid tribute to Brown, saying: "Danielle earned her place on our team by a mile and she shot really well. We are very proud of what she has achieved."
Hunt, from Ipswich, added: "It was a really tough match and Canada were fantastic. But I think we shot to our potential and it was a good performance in the end."
Pearson and Wells win Para dressage world golds Para dressage riders Lee Pearson and Sophie Wells added to Great Britain's gold haul with wins in their freestyle events at the World Equestrian Games.
Pearson, who had earlier won team and individual gold, managed a score of 82.500% in Grade Ib on Gentleman to finish 5.5% ahead of the field.
Wells, making her World debut, added the Grade IV title to her individual crown on her horse Pinocchio.
There was also a bronze for Jo Pitt in the Grade II event in Kentucky.
GB team for World Wheelchair Fencing Championships Announced The British Disabled Fencing Association has announced the following squad has been selected to represent Great Britain at the World Championships in Paris from 4th-12th November.
