The Indian archery contingent has suffered another setback at the Paris Olympics, with both Deepika Kumari and Bhajan Kaur crashing out in the quarterfinals in women’s individual event. This marks another disappointing end to India’s campaign in the sport at the Olympics.
Deepika Kumari, who had shown promise by defeating the reigning Olympic champion in the previous round, was unable to maintain her momentum. Bhajan Kaur also faced a tough challenge, ultimately falling short of the semifinals.
The Indian team had entered the competition with high hopes, especially after the mixed team’s impressive performance. However, the individual events have not yielded the desired results. The archers will now focus on regrouping and preparing for future challenges.
