Paris Olympic Games: Indian archers Ankita Bhakat and Dhiraj Bommadevara failed to overcome the South Korean challenge in the mixed team semifinal and lost 6-2 at the Paris Olympics on Friday. The Indian pair will now aim for a bronze medal when they take on the pair from the USA later in the evening.

The Indians started with a 2-0 lead after finishing 38-36 in the first set. However, South Korea's Lim Sihyeon and Kim Woojin, the top-rated pair in the world, scored 38 in the second set to level the lead 2-2 after India managed only 35. Bhakat and Bommadevara failed to bounce back in the next two sets and ended on the losing side.

The Indians will next take on Casey Kaufhold and Brady Ellison of the United States in the bronze medal match.
