Deepika Kumari is set for a challenging quarterfinal match against South Korea’s Nam Su-Hyeon in the women’s individual archery event. Kumari advanced to this stage by defeating Germany’s Michelle Kroppen 6-4 in the Round of 16. Nam Su-Hyeon, who secured gold in the women’s team archery event in Paris, promises to be a formidable opponent.
Shooting
Manu Bhaker, who had already made history by reaching her third shooting final at the 2024 Olympics, ended up just shy of a medal, finishing fourth in the women’s 25m pistol final. Bhaker, who had earlier won bronze medals in both the women’s 10m air pistol and the mixed team 10m air pistol events, was briefly in second place but fell behind in the final moments, ultimately losing out in a shootout against Hungary’s Veronika Major.Other Events
