Olympian Deepika Kumari: India’s final hope of a medal in archery, four-time Olympian Deepika Kumari lost 4-6 against South Korea’s Nam Su-Hyeon in the women’s Individual quarterfinal match, ending India's campaign in the Paris Olympics archery competition without a medal.

Despite starting strongly with a 28-26 win in the first set and a 29-28 victory in the third which saw Deepika one set away from victory with a 4-2 lead to her name, the Indian lost the final two sets 29-27, 29-27 to go down in the quarterfinal match which would have taken her one win away from securing a medal.

Deepika stormed into the quarterfinals of the Women's Individual 1/8 Elimination Round with a 6-4 win against Germany's Kroppen Michelle whereas Bhajan Kaur lost 5-6 to Indonesia's Choirunisa Diananda in the shoot-off round earlier on Saturday.
