India's history in Archery at the Games
India first featured in Archery at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. Since then, India have consistently sent an archery team to all the Olympics.
In the previous edition in 2016, Atanu Das made it to Round 16 in the Men's individual competition but bowed out after a defeat to South Korea's Lee Seung-Yun.
Bombayla Devi, Deepika Kumari, and Laxmirani Majhi were the three women archers who had made the cut for the 2016 Rio Olympics. While Devi and Kumari made it to Round 16 of the Women's individual event, Majhi bowed out in the Round of 64 itself.
Meanwhile, in the Women's team event, the trio of Deepika, Bombayla, and Laxmirani defeated Colombia in Round 16 but bowed out after a defeat to Russia in the Quarterfinals.
India are still on the hunt for a medal in archery at the Olympic Games. It will be interesting to see if the hunt finally ends at the Games in Tokyo.
