Mixed team’s elimination Archery: India beat Chinese Taipei, to face Korea in quarters

The Indian Mixed Archery team comprising Deepika Kumari and Pravin Jadhav overturned a one-set deficit to defeat Chinese Taipei 5-3 to progress to the quarterfinals of the Mixed team archery event at the Tokyo Olympics.

After a poor start that saw India lose the first set, our archers played the last 2 sets to perfection to qualify for the quarterfinals where they will be up against Korea.

After drawing the second set, the pair scored perfect 10s twice each in the third set to get a 40/40, a score impossible to beat.

With the game at stake in the fourth set, the duo finished the set with a 10 each setting our opponents a target of 18 from their last 2 shots. However, Chinese Taipei could manage only 17, giving India the set, and hence the match.
