Tokyo Olympics: Deepika keeps medal hopes alive, makes last-16; Rai, Jadhav exit

Hindustan Times  

Battling gusty winds under floodlights, Deepika Kumari was not at her best but the world number one archer kept the Indian medal hopes alive by sailing into the pre-quarter finals of the women's individual section at the Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday. On a day her teammates Tarundeep Rai and Pravin Jadhav exited in round two, Deepika survived some anxious moments before getting past US teenager Jennifer Mucino-Fernandez 6-4 to sail into round three. Earlier in the day, 37-year-old Rai lost to Itay Shanny of Israel in a tight shoot-off finish for a heart-breaking second round exit in his last Olympics. Rai's Army colleague Jadhav, who was the best among the Indians with a 31st place in the ranking round on his Olympics debut, sprang a surprise, knocking out world number two Galsan Bazarzhapov in straight sets in the opening round.
