Tokyo Olympics Archery- Deepika Kumari knocked out in quarterfinals: Deepika Kumari vs Korean San AN: Deepika Kumari has been beaten 6-0 by No. 1 seed Korean An San. In a match that did not last long, An San won in straight sets, 6-0. This came after the World No. 1 archer Deepika Kumari defeated the silver medalist of the team event in the Rio Olympics- Ksenia Perova. However, Atanu Das created a huge upset on Thursday as he defeated multiple Olympic medallists from Korea. Deepika was put under pressure in the 1st set after An San shot a perfect 30 from 3 arrows. Deepika was off to an uneasy start shooting just a 7 with her first arrow. She lost the 1st set 30-27, 2nd set 26-24, and 3rd set 26-24. An San qualifies for the semi-finals and Deepika Kumar has been knocked out in the quarterfinals.
