Archery: Bhajan Kaur Claims Gold, Secures Olympic Quota For India
Final Olympic Qualifier: 18-year-old archer Bhajan Kaur clinched a gold medal in the recurve women’s individual event, securing India a coveted quota place for the Paris 2024 Olympics at the Final Olympic Qualifier on Sunday.
Kaur’s triumph comes as a beacon of hope for Indian archery, especially after seasoned archer Deepika Kumari's unexpected early exit.
Despite the early setback when second-ranked Deepika Kumari, who received two byes, was defeated 6-4 by Azerbaijan’s Yaylagul Ramazanova in her first match, Kaur and Ankita Bhakat carried the torch forward. The competition allowed only one individual quota per country, and Kaur’s exceptional performance ensured India claimed this spot.
