Italy's Mauro Nespoli sealed his maiden individual Archery World Cup victory as he won the men's recurve event in Salt Lake City. Nespoli, the 12th seed, beat Dutchman Steve Wijler 6-2 at the Easton Salt Lake Archery Center to ensure he topped the podium at a World Cup for the first time.

The triumph for the Italian also guaranteed his place at the season-ending Archery World Cup final in Samsun in Turkey in September. "I'm very excited because I'm working a lot to increase my results in individual competitions and this is the first medal at the World Cup and I'm very happy," said Nespoli.
