Archery Paris Olympics 2024: India started its campaign in Paris Olympics 2024 by participating in the archery competition. In the ranking round, India’s men’s and women’s team have directly entered the quarterfinals by finishing in the top-4. Now the path to winning a medal seems easy especially for the Indian men’s team because India will not face the world’s number-1 team South Africa before the final.
Dheeraj Bommadevara, Tarundeep Rai and Praveen Jadhav had finished third with a total of 2013 points. India has been placed in the third quarterfinal of the bracket, where it will face the winner of the match between Turkey and Colombia. Turkey had finished sixth in the ranking round and Colombia 11th. As per the rules, the teams ranked fifth to 12th have to cross the pre-quarterfinal challenge and make it to the top-8.
India is sure to win a medal!
The Indian team’s path has become easier because it will not have to face the world’s number-1 team South Korea till the final. If India overcomes the challenge of the quarter-finals, then it can face France, Italy or Kazakhstan in the semi-finals. It is worth noting that this year the stalwarts of the Indian team won the gold medal by defeating South Korea in the final of the World Cup.
The gold medal match in archery will be played on June 29, so India can win its first medal at the very beginning of the Paris Olympic Games. On the other hand, the road for the women’s team seems difficult because South Korea is also at the top in the women’s ranking. If the Indian women’s team overcomes the challenge of the quarter-finals, then it will face Korea in the semi-finals.
