Join us again as India take part in the Recurve Mixed Team Round of 16 against Mongolia and the Compound Mixed Team Round of 16 clash against Iraq. Until then, it is goodbye.
And that concludes the action in Archery for India on day 5 of the Asian Games 2018. It started with a huge upset as No.247 ranked Mongolian Urantungalag Bishindee beat Promila Daimary in the round of 32. Although Deepika Kumar and Viswash made it through to the round of 16, they progressed no further. Viswash lost to Kazakhstan's Ilfat Abdullin 7-1 while Deepika lost to Chinese Taipei's Lei Chien-Ying in a close encounter. Atanu Das crumbled under pressure in the quarter-final as he lost to hometown hero Ega Agata.
The target is at a distance of 70m and you have three shots in each round and whoever wins the set gets 2 points and if it is a tie, both get one apiece.
Atanu Das' quarter-final clash will be at 2.10 PM IST although don't quote me on that because predicting when the games start in this tournament has been harder than watching paint dry.
It will be India vs Kazakhstan in the men's round of 16. Viswash will take on Kazakhstan's Ilfat Abdullin while Atanu Das will take on Kazakhstan's Denis Gankin.
It has been a bittersweet start to the day for India in Archery while Deepika Kumari is through, the No.12 ranked Promila Daimary has been knocked out by Bishindee.
The Recurve Women's Individual, 1/32 Eliminations have already begun. And the first Indian clash in the 1/16 Eliminations will be Promila Daimary who will take on Mongolia's Urantungalag Bishindee.
