Asian Games 2018: Archery, Day 7: India knocked out in Men's & Women's Team Recurve quarter-final

With no archers in the individual and mixed team events in Recurve and Compound, India's hopes of a medal in Archery look bleak. Now India's only hopes of a medal from Archery rest in the Men's and Women's Team Compound event, which takes place on Sunday (August 26). While the Men are in the round of 16, the women are already through to the quarter-final. Join us again for that, until then, goodbye.

India's hopes of a medal from the Men's and Women's Team Recurve events has ended as India crash out in the quarter-final of both events. That also means that the Indian Recurve contingent finish medal-less.

South Korea beat India 5-1 and advance through to the semi-final of the Recurve Men's Team.

South Korea take the third set 56-54 despite an eight off the last set and seal the game.

And South Korea start off with a 10. That was on the line but the next one was a perfect 10. Just seven needed off the last shot to seal a win.

South Korea just need 27 to seal the third set.

And Atanu just misses it. He finishes with nine and India have 54.

Jagdish starts with a 10 and Viswash follows that with one more. India need a perfect finish here from Atanu.

Despite an eight, South Korea lead India 28-25 with three shots to go.

But someone seems to have forgotten to tell the South Koreans that as they hit two 10s in a row and are looking like they are in a hurry to get this done.

Courtesy of that wild shot, India finish with just 25 from the first three shoots. India must now hope South Korea are less than perfect.

Atanu Das starts the third set with a 10. That will do his confidence a world of good.

Excellent start from South Korea, who begin with 28 from their first three shots.

It is South Korea who start first.

And we are about to get underway in the quarter-finals. Both India and South Korea are ready.

We are less than 10 minutes away from the start of the quarter-final between India and South Korea. The latter are the favorites but can the Indian men make up for a poor show from the women earlier?

The Indian trio have a tough task ahead of them as they try and beat the South Korean trio who set an Asian Games Qualification record in the ranking round. But Atanu Das, Viswash and Jagdish Choudhary will be hoping that they can upset the odds in the first quarter-final of the men's Team Recurve
