Nabieva led her first round match through 11 arrows, and outshot her opponent by five points in the last three arrows, but a four-shot stretch of 2-5-6-5 in between doomed her to defeat.
Nazarov had won a bronze medal at the 2003 Asian Championships, and his personal best would have put him in contention for making the final, so being unable to post a mark was unfortunate for him.
