India continued to have mixed results in Olympic Games archery fields as top male archer Dhiraj Bommadevara made it to the Round of 32 with a 7-1 win against Czechia`s Adam Li here on Tuesday. After Bhajan Kaur won her match to reach pre-quarters and Ankita Bhakat lost in the Women`s Individual Competition, Bommadevara`s victory kept alive India`s hopes of a medal following the disappointing performance in the Team Competition.
The 22-year-old Bommadevara, who finished fourth in the ranking round, showed good form at the Les Invalides on Tuesday as he won his opening match. Bouncing back from Monday`s disappointing defeat in the men`s team event, Bommadevara hit 10s on seven of his 12 shots against Olympic debutant Adam Li.
