Dutchman Steve Wijler secured the men's recurve title with victory over Moldova's Dan Olaru to continue his rise in the sport at the European Archery Championships in Poland.

The 21-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough year in 2017, winning bronze at the World Championships in Mexico City and team gold at the World Indoor Championships.

He added to his growing medal collection with European gold following a 6-5 shoot-off triumph over Olaru, who had knocked out defending champion Jean-Charles Valladont of France in the semi-finals in Legnica.

Valladont ended the tournament on a high, defeating Heorhiy Ivanystkyy of Ukraine 6-2 in the bronze medal match.

The women's recurve final was also decided by a shoot-off as Turkey's Yasemin Anagoz ousted 2013 world champion Maja Jager of Denmark.

Gulnaz Coskun, also of Turkey, beat Melanie Gaubil of France by the same 6-5 scoreline following another shoot-off.
