Indian men’s archery team of Tarundeep Rai, Dhiraj Bommadevara and Pravin Jadhav followed its women compatriots in failing to secure an Olympic quota from the Final Qualifier and will now have to rely on rankings to qualify for the quadrennial showpiece slated next month.
A day after Indian women suffered a shock defeat to Ukraine in the pre-quarters, the World No. 2 men’s team exited in the last-eight stage, going down to Mexico in the shoot-off in a dramatic fashion.
