Rio de Janeiro, Aug 6:
Archer Deepika Kumari expressed bewilderment after a dismal show during the women’s team event where the Indian team finished a dejecting seventh in the qualification round of the Rio Olympics Games, here.
All Deepika managed was 640 out of 720 which was good enough for a 20th position while experienced Bombayla Devi Laishram shot 638 to finish 24th and Laxmirani Majhi finished 43rd with 614 points.
The wayward performance will affect India’s medal prospects as a top four-finish would have given them a bye to the quarters but the team, which logged 1892 points together, will now begin the elimination stage from the first round of 16 tomorrow.(PTI)
