Needing a six with his final arrow to secure victory, Drahoninsky shot a nine to seal the match in the fifth set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wanted to win the finals and I did it. I celebrated my three golds \u2013 I dedicate them to my brother\u2019s son, who is just one month old now. He is a fighter,\u201d said the 44-year-old from Prague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll the matches were difficult today, but I did my best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
