Disappointed archer Alison Williamson is considering retirement after missing out on team and individual medals at the Olympics in Beijing.

She told the BBC: "I'm feeling down, I need a bit more time to reflect on what I want to do for the next 4 years.

"It's interesting hearing the support the Chinese archers have and it would be amazing to compete on home soil and have the British crowd behind you.

"But I just don't know, I'm still thinking about it."

Shropshire-based Williamson won a bronze medal at the 2004 Games in Athens.
