They could have competed atleast. It was like a walkover for the Netherlands

Medal hopefuls or not it was an embarassing performance. Like SL getting out for 50 in the Asia cup final.

Prannoy wins the first game. Getting a good game from the German. Apparently Prannoy is back from recovering from ChikanGuniya. Not at peak form. Hopefully a couple of good early games gets him in his best form.

Easy second game for Prannoy. Looking good in that game.

Manu won a great game. First time seeing her and I was impressed with her composure. Missed the silver by 0.1 ..phew !!!!! She is miles ahead of the others like Heena and co.

The most skillful player we have in men's singles. Considerably clutch too. It is only about the time between matches with him. His body has let him down due to slow recovery.

“This is not at all expected. Deepika performed the best in the Indian trials but let the Indian team down badly by her poor performance today,” a senior Indian archery official told PTI.

The Indian trio had defeated the same Netherlands team 6-2 en route to their fourth-place finish at the Antalya World Cup last month.

“Yes. It’s a team failure but it’s high time that Deepika should be leading from the front and the take the responsibility, and not let India down the team every time at Olympics.” Indian women’s coach Purnima Mahato agreed that Deepika failed to shoot with a “strong mentality”.

“Being a celebrated archer, you need to shoot with a strong mentality,” Mahato told PTI.

“It’s a team failure, hope to overcome this and put up a better show in the mixed and individual events.” Having topped the qualification among Indians, Ankita will partner Dhiraj Bommadevara in the mixed team event.
