Kolkata, July 17:
Deepika Kumari and Laishram Bombayla Devi helped India finish second behind China in the recurve qualification round of the Archery World Cup Stage 3 being held in Medellin, Colombia.
According to information received here, Deepika’s seventh and Bombayla’s eighth finishes were the best among the Indians as the men’s team failed short of expectations to finish a lowly 14th in the recurve qualification rounds held yesterday.
The women’s team’s second-place finish meant that the Indian women trio, with the third member being Rimil Biruly, will directly play the quarters, taking on the winners of Venezuela and Dominican Republic teams.
