Not really...the quota won by Champia can be given to anybody by AAI. They had declared that if we fail to qualify a team, then fresh trial will be held to decide who goes...Clearly Atanu the favorite right now...

That's great

Champia won the individual quota, so thinking might have been 

1) no controversy if team won quota

2) Champia just had a bad day in qualifiers and would bounce back in team event

Or might be Champia performed better than Rahul in the morning practice sessions in front of the coach in the current wind conditions.

disastrous result. playing champia inspite of his form - what to say -this is how all Indian sports are run. So in archery we have actually taken a step backwards from London 2012.

[Sanjib 17]

So his pathetic performance, resulting in a loss to Brazil was ignored right, for today, what were the rules can an archer be replaced in the Qtr final stage after the 1st round, coz he tried his best to ensure we loose in the 1st round itself, anybody?

If you recall, someone had quoted team official and told about India's decision to replace Rahul with Mangal on Monday evening itself. Also, Mangal had participated in the normal team event as well. So, once again nothing to do with today's condition. 

 

In qualification, gap between Mangal and Rahul was 5 shots and Mangal had shot much better in 2nd series compared to 1st. So, maybe team thought that Mangal will bounce back. Also, its not like Rahul had a spectacular performance in qualification or Individual events.

Are you suggesting that he was shooting badly on purpose? Match-fixing?

Comm'n that's a way of expressing. We all know his bad form was the reason for the loss against Brazil. Can a player not be replaced at the Qtr final stage, what if someone gets injured?

They don't deserve a place in Rio.... They had very poor scores... Hope Atanu takes over champia quote...
