#4 Indian Women’s Archery Team
Deepika Kumari, Bombayla Devi Laishram and Laxmirani Majhi will be carrying India’s hopes in the Rio Olympics in Archery. Deepika Kumari made India proud when she won the archery competition in the 2010 Commonwealth Games held in Delhi at the age of 16. Kumari is in red hot form and scored 686/720 in the women’s recurve event of the Archery World Cup in Shanghai to equal the world-record score set by South Korea's Ki Bo-Bae in 2015.
Laishram meanwhile has been with the Indian squad since 2007 and at 31, her experience will be invaluable. Majhi has also been a regular fixture of the team since 2014 and has blossomed in the past one year. If India can perform as good as they did in Copenhagen to qualify for Rio, a medal isn’t out of the reach for the team.
