A defeat by the smallest of margins against the world No. 2 Mathias Fullerton which does not prevent Jean-Philippe Boulch to achieve his best result of the season with a 5th place in the individual event which adds to the bronze won the day before in the team event.

In the quarter-final, the clash pitted the Frenchman against the qualifying leader, Mathias Fullerton. A high-level match against one of the new strong men of the world compound bow. The Dane scored 149 points, dropping a 9 on the last end of the match, against 148 for Jean-Philippe Boulch who fought until the end. A defeat which leaves the archer from Rueil Malmaison at the gates of the finals, but with an honorable 5th place.
