Oliver finished top of the qualification standings after the two rounds drew to a close yesterday and she produced a similar level of performance in the elimination stage today.

The Briton ended the two elimination rounds with a score of 119 to advance to the semi-final stage of the competition, where she earned a 51-45 victory over Poland’s Joanna Rzasa.

She will now take on the second seeded Jessica Tomasi, with the Italian having beaten Germany’s Daniela Klesmann 48-43.

It was a similar story in the men’s recurve event, with top qualifier Brady Ellison progressing to the gold medal contest.

The American defeated France’s Jean-Charles Valladont by a narrow 62-61 scoreline to advance.

He will face the challenge of second seed Sebastian Rohrberg, with the German having overcome Italy’s Marco Morello 57-55 in the other semi-final.

There was a surprise in the men’s compound last four, as Denmark’s Stephan Hansen eliminated the top seed Dave Cousins, beating the American 70-68.

Hansen will meet another American opponent in the final, with Steve Anderson having beaten Norway’s Njaal Aamaas 67-65.

Women’s second seed Linda Ochoa-Anderson defeated Germany’s Carolin Landesfeind 65-60 to advance to the final in their competition, where she will face Italy’s Irene Franchini, after her 64-62 win over Gladys Willems of Belgium.

The barebow men’s and women’s competitions also saw their semi-finals contested on the third day of the Championships.

Spain’s David Garcia Fernandez beat Australia’s Michael Fisher 53-44 to reach the men’s final, where he will face Erik Jonsson.

Jonsson won an all-Swedish semi-final with Martin Ottosson by a 56-50 scoreline.

A 48-42 win over Sweden’s Lina Bjorklund proved enough for Italy’s Eleonora Strobbe to set up a women’s final with Chantal Porte, with the Frenchwoman having triumphed 44-40 against Japan’s Maruyama Miyuki.
