Asian Games, Archery: India Make Quarters In All Six Team Events

Indian archers showed tenacity and authority in equal measure to storm into the quarterfinals in all the six team events of the Asian Games in Hangzhou on Monday. The Indians played five team elimination rounds and dropped just one set on the way to their respective quarterfinal matches. India have got a bye into the quarters by virtue of topping the qualifications in the women's compound team event. First, it was the top-seeded compound mixed team of Ojas Deotale and Jyothi Surekha Vennam, who showed the way as they dropped just one point from 16 arrows to eliminate UAE's Amna Alawadhi and Mohammed Binamro 159-151.

Seasoned Jyothi Surekha Vennam led the charge as Indian compound archers lived up to their reputation, topping the qualification and also grabbed No. 1 seeding in women's and mixed pair team events at the Asian Games in Hangzhou on Sunday. World champion Ojas Deotale and 2014 Asian Games silver medalist Abhishek Verma secured third-fourth place finish as India took the second seedings in men's team compound qualifiers. The 27-year-old Jyothi set the tone in the first-half of the session when she edged her South Korean rivals to top the qualification with 704 points, five clear of So Chaewon.

Seasoned Jyothi Surekha Vennam edged out her South Korean rivals to top the qualification, while world champion Aditi Swami secured the fourth spot to also make the cut, and power India to grab the top-seeding in the women's compound archery at the Asian Games in Hangzhou on Sunday. As action got underway in the discipline in the continental showpiece, the script unfolded as per expectations with the Indians dominating the compound section. The country also had an inspiring show in the Olympic-discipline recurve section, where veteran Atanu Das finished fourth, while promising youngster Dhiraj Bommadevara was the next best Indian at sixth spot to make the cut in the men's section.

Atanu Das In Focus As Recurve Archers Hope To Shake Off Asian Games 'Jinx'

He may no longer be the India No. 1 recurve archer, but the seasoned Atanu Das is fully aware of the responsibility of not only bringing out the best in him but also the team as they look to overcome the Asian Games 'jinx'. Recurve archery, an Olympic discipline, has been on a downward spiral and its slide has ironically coincided with the rise in the compound section, where India now boast of two recently-crowned world champions in Ojas Deotale and Aditi Swami.
