I have sympathy suddenly for Deepika now. In Tokyo Praveen was paired with her instead of Atanu. The Indian Olympics association could have easily paired her with Atanu but they didnt. India lost. 
 

 

Mixed teams are usually seeded on the combined qualifying result of the highest scoring male and female archer from each nation. Countries, however, have the option of switching their best finisher for another archer from the team, while the seedings remain unchanged. The Archery Association of India (AAI) selection committee, however, decided to repose faith in the superior scores of debutant Jadhav.

Is there any advantage of being top 4 in mixed? I don't know. 

Seedings. We are going to meet Korea in semis now for certain if we win

It doesn't work that way.

 

Praveen was the top male shooter in the qualifications - which is why he paired with Deepika. Atanu didn't shoot well last time around. He did make the Qtrs though and choked in them unfortunately. He won a thriller the round before that one though - won a shoot-off with a 10

Sendational by Dhiraj...strong medal prospect in Individual, Mens team and Mixed as well.

 

Women team also has a chance.

 

Guys, I have a strong feeling.....we are breaking the hoodoo this time...medal in archery.....:om:

Yes I agree but pairings depends on individual country and deepika atanu was a bonafide team. Indian association could have paired them together but didn’t due to praveens high rank. But in main praveen flopped.

No advantage... Tough mixed bracket though. Indonesians in the first round, Chinese in the second, Koreans in the Semis if they make it that far! Second half of the bracket is way better. Should have come 6th instead of 5th!

No- the top male ranked and female ranked in the qualifications make the mixed team bracket. The countries don't get to choose the teams

Forgot about the Chinese in QF, thats tough too. But should back themselves to beat anyone apart from the Koreans

by logic we did it right..  but again we faced Korea to whom we lost in 1/8 so we would have lost with Atanu as well

What happened to that guy who used to run in a cattle race in Karnataka in muddy fields who had great speed..... supposedly could have run track?
