As the Archery Ranking Round took off at Lords Cricket Ground in London, spectators around the area started pouring, but much to their dismay they were not allowed inside. There was no television coverage.
In the Men category, India finished 12th and has to play Japan in the knock out stage to clash with USA in the quarterfinals. India's Tarundeep Rai, Rahul Banerjee and Jayanta Talukdar finished 31st, 46th and 53rd respectively. Korea's Hyun Im Dong scored a mamoth 699 points taking their team total to a World Record 2087 points.
In the Women section, however, there was some pride restored with Deepika Kumari finishing 8th in the individual section and taking the team to the 9th rank. Bombayla Devi Lashram finished 22nd in the individual and Chekrovolu Swuro finishing a disappointing 50th rank. Deepika started on a low rank but quickly made amends as the rounds progressed.
Will India get a taste of the ever elusive yellow metal?
