The 26-year Turkish archer Oznur Cure Girdi earned the status of a para archery star at the Paris 2024 Paralympics. She broke the compound women's world record in the ranking round reaching over 700 and preserved her outstanding shape in the elimination rounds.
Oznur captured her first Paralympic gold defeating Iran's Fatemeh Hemmati 144-141 in the final.
They tied in the first end, but as the match went on, Cure Girdi moved on shooting 10s and nines to build a 2-point advantage. Before the last end, she led by 3 points and didn't let the gold slip out of her hands.
She confirmed her dominance and the role of top contender in each match. She seemed just unstoppable. And she was.
“I believed in the medal already after the ranking round and my world record,” the 26-year-old athlete said.
After the final arrow, Cure Girdi burst into tears celebrating.
“I believed I would reach it! And now it's around my neck! I'm so happy. I worked really hard for this. It's great!”
