Golden GB finish European Grand Prix on a high!

Britain has had a golden finish to archery's European Grand Prix in Antalya, Turkey, thanks to Alison Williamson, and the mens recurve team.

Williamson, 39, twice fought back from behind to complete a 6-4 victory against her fellow veteran and former World Champion Natalia Valeeva of Italy in the women's recurve final.

Earlier in the day, Simon Terry, Larry Godfrey and Alan Wills won the gold medal in the team tournament as they too fought back to beat Italian opponents.

"It's a fantastic day for GB archery, for the three lads, and for Alison - we're all really proud of all of them," said Archery GB Performance Director Sara Symington. "It's a great start to the international season, and a great boost for everyone to see British archers standing proudly on the winners' podium.

"They've all been shooting superbly all week, and it tells me they're all really focussed and up for the challenge, with the World Championships coming up in July, and all roads leading to London 2012 after that."

Williamson, a double silver medalist at last year's Commonwealth Games in Delhi, is working towards representing Britain in her sixth Olympic Games, in London next year.
