Indian men, women archery teams one win away from securing Olympic quota

In archery, Indian men's recurve team put up a solid show at Den Bosch in Netherlands today to go past Norway 5-1 and storm into the pre-quarterfinals at the World Archery Championships. They are just one win away from securing an Olympic quota.

The trio of Tarundeep Rai, Pravin Jadhav and Atanu Das will next face Canada's Eric Peters, Crispin Duenas and Brian Maxwell tomorrow in a bid to secure the three-athlete quotas for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

The women's recurve team also remained in the fray by qualifying sixth from a field of 55 nations for one of the eight Olympic quota spots. The top-eight seeding in the team event means that the Indian women avoid the first round match today and go straight into a decider for the Olympic places where they face 11th seed Belarus tomorrow.
