Ukraine`s Viktor Ruban took advantage of a mistake by South Korean Park Kyung-mo to win the Olympic gold medal in men`s individual archery Friday, according to AP.

Ruban had a 103-95 edge after his 11th arrow when Park scored just 8 on his 11th to make it an even score. Ruban responded with a 10 to tie, forcing Park to get a perfect score on his final shot. Park missed the center section by a few millimeters, bringing the score to 113-112.

Russian Bair Badenov claimed the bronze with a 115-110 win over top-seeded Juan Rene Serrano of Mexico.
