Afterwards, pressure will hit her. Here is an interesting article to read - Why do archers win gold at their first Olympics?
Since the modern archery competition began at the 1972 Olympics, 19 of the available 24 individual gold medals have been won by athletes appearing in their first Olympics.
Eight different Korean women have claimed individual gold since 1984, with all eight having won at their first Olympics.
That is an interesting article indeed. That means nobody has been dominant as such even from Korea winning medals thru multiple olympics. It is difficult and too random to win a medal at an olympics. We have had really only a couple of real outside contenders for a medal at an olympics- Deepika and Atanu.

Going forward too it will not be easy for Komalika to win a medal in individuals. Our best chance is to have 3 good archers which will form a good team. In teams there is a decent chance of a medal. There are only 12 teams at an olympics of which 3 win medals which is at least about 15-20% chance once you qualify. Key is to get 3 good archers, we have always had 1 weak archer in the team.

Yes, please Sameer. I think better still, move it to the Paris thread because this is about the future. And grab posts from Tokyo if you can. Or create a new thread on future of sports in india, etc. But, my default suggestion would be the Paris Olympics thread.

The Asian archery championships got completed. We couldn't touch the Koreans but we were good against the others. Seven medals, but on expected lines.

There was no Korea,Japan and Taiwan in this Asian archery championships. So, we are not really #2 in Asia based on these results when everyone is there.

^^^ Korea was there but not Japan and Taiwan. So it would be horrible if we did NOT finish second.

Compound archer Rishabh Yadav and recurve archer Sachin Gupta have given fine performances in recently held international indoor events.

Rishabh won the men’s individual gold medal at the J.V.D. Open, a Kings of Archery Series event, in Eindhoven, Netherlands. He defeated Dutch superstar and World No. 1 Mike Schloesser 180-179 in the final round to become the first Indian archer to secure a gold medal in an elite international indoor event.

Rishabh lost to Schloesser 149-146 in the quarterfinals of the G.T. Open, at Stressen, Luxembourg.

Sachin claimed men’s individual silver medals in the J.V.D. Open and the G.T. Open.

Sachin was beaten by Steve Wiljer of the Netherlands 180-179 in the final round of the J.V.D. Open.

He lost to Frenchman Florent Mulot 6-0 (30-28, 29-28, 30-29) in the final of the G.T. Open.

The Indian archers’ performances assume significance as World Archery (WA) has issued a new ruling, making it mandatory for the archers to participate in at least two Indoor World Archery Series events in order to obtain world rankings.

Decent performance by Indian archers so far in the first world cup of the year at Antalya, Turkey.

In recurve section, our mens team consisting of Atanu Das, Tarundeep Rai and Dhiraj Bommadevara reached the final. They beat Japan,Chinese Taipei and Netherlands on the way to the final. They will take on China in the final.

In individual recurve men, Dhiraj Bommadevara beat great US archer Brady Ellison in a shoot off in PQF and then beat fellow Indian veteran Tarundeep Rai in QF. Atanu Das who was 4th in the qualfications lost in PQF against a Chinese archer.

Disappointment in womens recurve as team got knocked out early and none could make it past PQF in individuals. It seems Deepika Kumari lost in the trials and is out of the team here and also Asian games. So, these are very inexperienced archers among women.

In Compound section, our mixed pairs team has made the final and will meet Chinese Taipei there. Also in womens individual, Jyothi Surekha Vennam has made it the SF and will meet world #1 British archer in the final.

Finals of Compound section are on Saturday and recurve section are on Sunday.

In recurve, silver for mens team who lost to China in final and bronze for Dhiraj Bommadevara in his first world cup.

2 golds and 1 bronze for us in second world Cup at Shanghai. All of these medals were in compund category.

Gold for 18 year old Abhijit Jawkar in mens individuals, repeat gold from first world Cup in mixed team by Jyoti Surekha Vennam and Ojas Deotale. Also bronze by Avneet Kaur in women's individual.

Unfortunately no such succes in recurve. The best was Dhiraj reaching QF in mens individual where he lost to a Korean.

By the world rankings, our top 4 in recurve are Bommadevara, Talukdar, Salunkhe, Chauhan. So, Talukdar and Salunkhe did not make it. Are the rankings accurate predictors of success or at least as good as anything else and slightly better? One off trials are worse than good rankings.

In women's recurve, the top-4 are: Bhajan, Ridhi, Bhakat, Bari. Again Bhajan and Bhakat made it. The other two did not.

In men's compound, our top-4 are: Abhisekh, Jawkar, Priyansh, Chauhan. Again, two out of these in Jawkar and Chauhan made it.

Women's compound top 4: Pragati, Parneet, Avneet, Vennam. You got it. Avneet and Vennam made it.

Taken another way, the rankings could not predict exactly what team would be chosen.
