An San kept South Korea's Olympic flag flying in women's archery on Friday as she took the individual title, shrugging off online bullying over her hairstyle to become the first archer to win three golds at a single Games
Top-seeded An held her nerve as her final and semifinal went to shootoffs, downing Elena Osipova of the Russian Olympic Committee to take gold. Lucilla Boari claimed bronze to become the first female Italian archer to win an Olympic medal.
The 20-year-old An, already a double gold medalist in the women's and mixed teams events, became a target for online hostility at home after cutting her hair short, a look labelled "feminist" by some social media users.
