The Japanese took 28 from their last three arrows to finish third - their first-ever archery medal.
South Korea, who beat Denmark in the quarter-finals, coasted past Japan in the semi-finals with a 221-206 victory.

China secured their place in the final with a thrilling 208-207 win over Russia.

British hopes were ended in the first round when Alison Williamson, Naomi Folkard and Amy Oliver led for the most of the match but were overtaken by the Russians towards the end to lose 215-208.  (BBC.co.uk)
