It is not about winning or losing. The manner of loss is the major issue here. We need to start looking more widely for archers I believe. The current lot is mentally not up to the mark.
Compound archery team has been the star of Asian games. Out of possible 5 Golds and 2 Silver, they got 5 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze. If only Surekha and Aditi didn't meet in the semis they could have beaten anyone else.
It's mostly a young team. And have been in poor recent form except for Saurabh & Rahi. Rifle shooters were in horrible form. Hope they'll get better with experience.
Deepika Kumari finishes 9th. She'll face Karma from Bhutan in first round, American/Japanese in second round, potentially Perova of Russia in 3rd & An from Korea in QF, if she goes that far.
