India's Historic Archery Journey Ends in Heartbreak

India’s Historic Archery Journey Ends in Heartbreak

By August 2, 2024 0

India’s historic Olympic archery journey came to a heart-wrenching end as Ankita Bhakat and Dhiraj Bommadevara narrowly missed out on a bronze medal, losing 2-6 to the USA’s Casey Kaufhold and Brady Ellison.

The Indian duo made history by becoming the first archers to reach an Olympic medal match, but their dream of a podium finish was shattered in the bronze medal contest. The first set was a close affair, with the USA pair edging out India 38-37. Ankita’s 7-pointer at the start of the set proved costly for India.

The pressure mounted in the second set, and Ankita’s first arrow was a low 7. Despite Casey’s 8-pointer, Brady’s double 10 gave the USA a commanding 4-0 lead. India fought back in the third set, with Dhiraj’s 10, 9, and 9, 10 combination. Casey’s weak link for the USA, shooting 7 and 8 in this set.

However, in the decider, Ankita faltered again with a double 8. Dhiraj’s 9 and 10 were not enough as Brady and Casey shot 10, 9, and 9, 9 to win the fourth set 37-35 and secure the bronze medal.

Earlier in the day, Ankita and Dhiraj had made history by reaching the semi-finals, where they faced the two-time Olympic finalists from Korea. The Indian pair started strongly, taking the first set 36-38, but the Koreans fought back to win the second set 38-35.

In the quarterfinal, India defeated Spain 38-37 38-38 36-37 37-36. Ankita and Dhiraj took the first set 38-37, but Spain tied the scores in the second set 38-all. India’s 3-1 advantage was neutralized in the third set, but they held their nerves in the fourth set to win 37-36 and secure a semifinal spot.

The Indian recurve mixed team had also performed admirably, rallying past Indonesia to enter the quarterfinals. Dhiraj and Ankita consistently shot 9s and 10s, with Ankita shooting 10s in her last three attempts to take the pair into the last eight stage.

Archery's Tiny Margins: Dhiraj Bommadevara's Heartbreaking Defeat

Archery’s Tiny Margins: Dhiraj Bommadevara’s Heartbreaking Defeat

By July 31, 2024 0

Archery, a sport of precision and minute margins, witnessed a heart-wrenching defeat for India’s Dhiraj Bommadevara in the Round of 32 at the ongoing Commonwealth Games. In a nail-biting shoot-off against Canada’s Eric Peters, both archers hit a perfect 10. However, Peters’ arrow landed a mere 2.4 cm closer to the center (X), resulting in Dhiraj’s elimination.

The target face in archery measures 122 cm in diameter, with the 10-ring spanning 12.2 cm. Archers stand a staggering 70m away from the target, making the distance equivalent to approximately 3/4ths of a football field.

“The bow and release must align perfectly with the X, with a precision of at least 2 mm,” explains Sanjeeva Singh, an archery Dronacharya awardee. “Even a 0.01 percent error in finger release can result in the arrow missing the X.”

In contrast to Dhiraj’s misfortune, India’s Deepika Kumari experienced a stroke of luck in the Round of 64. She won a shoot-off with an 8, despite her Estonian opponent Reena Parnat also shooting an 8. Deepika’s arrow was closer to the center (123.3mm) than Parnat’s (146.7mm).

Deepika’s luck continued in the next round when her Dutch opponent Quinty Roeffen shot a zero, her arrow landing outside the 10 concentric circles. This rare occurrence propelled Deepika to the Round of 16 in the individual competition.

Despite hitting only three 10s in 12 arrows against Roeffen, Deepika’s performance was sufficient to advance. She joins Bhajan Kaur as the second Indian female archer to reach the quarterfinals. Deepika’s next challenge will be against world No. 13 Michelle Kroppen, a formidable opponent who will test her limits.

Indian Women’s Archery Team Suffers Quarterfinal Heartbreak at Paris Olympics

The Indian women’s archery team’s Olympic dreams were shattered on Sunday as they succumbed to a disappointing 0-6 defeat against the Netherlands in the quarterfinals at the Paris Olympics. The trio of Ankita Bhakat, Bhajan Kaur, and Deepika Kumari failed to live up to expectations, delivering a lackluster performance that resulted in their elimination.

In the first set, India lost 51-52, setting the tone for a challenging match. Ankita and Deepika struggled to find their rhythm, scoring below par. The second set proved equally disappointing, with India losing 49-54. The Dutch team, on the other hand, displayed remarkable consistency and precision, putting pressure on the Indian archers.

The third and final set was a nail-biter, with both teams tied at 48-48. However, the Netherlands managed to pull ahead in the final arrows, securing a 53-48 victory and sealing India’s fate.

In archery, the highest score by a team in a set is awarded two set points, while a draw gets one set point each. India’s inability to secure even a single set point highlighted their struggles throughout the match.

The Indian team had entered the quarterfinals with high hopes after finishing fourth in the qualification round. However, their performance in the knockout stage fell well short of expectations. Ankita and Deepika, in particular, failed to deliver the kind of scores that were required to challenge the Dutch team.

The defeat marks a disappointing end to India’s archery campaign at the Paris Olympics. The team had hoped to build on their success at the previous Games, where they won a silver medal in the women’s team event. However, their performance in Paris suggests that they need to reassess their strategies and training methods if they want to compete with the world’s best.

Indian Archery Teams Qualify for Quarterfinals at Paris Olympics

Indian Archery Teams Qualify for Quarterfinals at Paris Olympics

By July 25, 2024 0

India’s archery contingent made a promising start at the Paris Olympics, with both the men’s and women’s teams securing quarterfinal berths in the recurve event.

The women’s trio of Ankita Bhakat, Bhajan Kaur, and Deepika Kumari impressed with a combined score of 666 points, placing fourth in the standings. Bhakat, a debutant at the Games, emerged as the top-ranked Indian archer, finishing 11th in the individual qualifications.

In the men’s team event, Dhiraj Bommadevara, Tarundeep Rai, and Pravin Ramesh Jadhav combined for a score of 2013 points, finishing third behind South Korea and France. Bommadevara, who made a remarkable comeback in the ranking round, finished fourth in the singles qualifying with a score of 681.

South Korea’s Lim Sihyeon set a new world record with a score of 694 in the individual competition, while her compatriot Suhyeon Nam finished second with 688 points. China’s Yang Xiaolei secured the third position with 673 points.

Despite her impressive team performance, Deepika Kumari, a four-time Olympian, had a disappointing outing in the individual qualifications, recording her worst-ever result at the Games. As a result, she missed out on the mixed team berth for the first time, with Ankita set to partner Bommadevara in the mixed team finals.

The top four teams in both the men’s and women’s events earned direct entry into the quarterfinals, bypassing the Round of 16 fixtures. India’s women’s team will face either France or the Netherlands in the quarterfinals, while the men’s team will face a yet-to-be-determined opponent.

If successful in the quarterfinals, India could face a formidable challenge against the South Korean team, renowned for their dominance in Olympic archery. The Korean women’s team has been particularly invincible, securing their ninth consecutive Olympic medal in Tokyo three years ago.
