archers from the semi-finals, Vázquez Cadena and Son met to contest the bronze medal final. After three close sets — the pair each posting a twenty-seven and a pair of twenty-eight scores — Vázquez Cadena managed just twenty-three points from her three arrows in the fourth set. This drop in performance allowed Son to take the lead and break away, the South Korean claiming the fifth set soon afterwards to secure the bronze medal. In the gold medal final Zhang and Canales started off the match on an equal footing, both scoring twenty-six points to tie the first set. A seven by Canales however allowed Zhang to take the second set, and after another tie in the third set Canales shot wide again into the seven ring again in the fourth. With a score of twenty-seven points to twenty-five Zhang clinched the set and secured the gold medal. Zhang's victory was China's second girls' individual gold medal in succession following Li Jiaman's victory at the previous Summer Youth Olympics. Canales' silver medal was the third achieved by Spain that day.
