#Tokyo2020

Ladies & gentlemen, after months and months of waiting, we are officially at the start of the Tokyo Olympics as 🇮🇳's campaign gets underway with #Archery🏹 qualification rounds.

Let the Games begin! 🌅

Live updates through the day here: scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

A quick introduction to how archery qualification works. 🎯

Live: scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

🇮🇳Deepika Kumari starts off with scores of X-10-10-9-9-8 for a total of 56 in her first set of six arrows.

🇮🇳Deepika Kumari registers scores of 10-10-9-9-9-8 for a total of 55 in the second end.

Live blog: scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

Three ends done for all archers.

Deepika Kumari is joint 10th, three Koreans in the top 5 (Surprise, surprise!)

Live blog: scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

Oh dear, that's a disappointing round for Deepika Kumari, a 51/60 sees her slide down the standings. Still plenty of time left but she's got work to do.

Live blog: scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

One of the best rounds of the entire field from Deepika Kumari as she registers a 59. None of the current leaders have shot a 59 round yet! That's more like it from the world No. 1. 🎯

Live blog: scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

🎯 DEEPIKA KUMARI on the charge! A brilliant couple of rounds from her after the 51 and she has put herself in the top 5 at the halfway stage of the qualification round.

Live blog: scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

Not the most ideal start to the second half for Deepika Kumari, she moves to 8th after 55 and 53. Koreans continue to lead the pack.

Live blog: scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

🇮🇳JUST IN: Deepika Kumari finishes 9th overall in the qualification round with a total score of 663. A 7 in the final shot sees her slide down by a couple of spots.

Live blog: scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

Here's the top 🔟 women's archers after the qualification rounds.

Korea top three, and all three of them bettered the previous Olympic record of 673! 🔥

Live blog: scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

CORRECTION: Deepika Kumari will be seeded 9th in the women's individual event and faces Karma from Bhutan in the round of 64. A potential *Quarterfinal match against top seed An San from Korea.

scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

A look at the section of the draw in the women's individual knockouts. A potential QF between No 1 seed An San and Deepika Kumari. Potentially 🔥 match-up that.

Live blog: scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

 New Olympic record holder, 20-year-old An San: “I didn’t really expect to make the record. I’m happy, it’s my first time at the Games, so I’m really glad I made the record today,” she told World Archery.

Live blog: scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

Of course, it's not ideal for Deepika Kumari but worth noting the Korean is a youngster in her first Olympics, she would have liked an easier QF than this too. Experience does matter in the knockouts, so we can wait and watch how it goes: @vinayakkm
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

What makes Korea so good in archery?

The archer blowing the field away at the haflway stage with a 5-point lead is a 17-year-old! Korean phenom Kim Je Deok is on fire. 🔥

#Tokyo2020 #Archery

For the mixed team event, India have finished 9th among 29 teams. The draw won't be kind to them.

Live blog: scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

In the men's team rankings, India are in the 9th position. Pravin Jadhav, Atanu Das and Tarundeep Rai just didn't get going today.
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

Atanu Das can still partner Deepika Kumari in mixed team.

World Archery: “Nations with full teams qualified do not have to select the single athlete who will participate in the mixed team event until one hour before the start of the competition on 24 July.”
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

Most nations will usually go with form but Atanu and Deepika have good understanding and India might still pick the world no 9 ahead of Jadhav.

Live updates:
scroll.in/field/1000860/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

The men's team event draw is out. Indian men’s team in the same quarter as Korea. They will need to beat Kazakhstan first though. This is the problem with not doing well in the ranking round.

Live:
scroll.in/field/1000788/…
#Tokyo2020 #Archery

The Mixed Team event draw is out too. India drawn to face Chinese Taipei in the round of 16 on Saturday. Should they win, they will likely take on Korea in the quarterfinal.

Here are the section of the draws featuring Indians in the individual events. Atanu Das drawn to face 3rd seed from Korea in 2nd round, Pravin Jadhav against 2nd seed Brady Ellison. 🤷🏼‍♂️

There were plenty of talking points during the first T20I in Delhi, but the one aspect that stood out was Rahim's luck & Chahal's lack of.
