India's star archer Deepika Kumari has accepted that she buckled under pressure at Tokyo Olympics. Her physio Dr Arvind Yadav, who is working with the Indian archery team since 2013, told www.mid-day.com that like everyone, even he was dejected that they were unable to live up to expectations and the pressure of performing at the quadrennial event was clearly visible. 
 
Deepika was unable to live up to her World No. 1 ranking and finished at ninth position in the individual ranking round. She lost to Korean An San 0-6 in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Deepika's husband Atanu Das, who is India No. 1, did raise medal hopes when he beat Olympic champion Oh Jin-Hyek of South Korea 6-5 in the 1/98 eliminations to advance to the 1/8 eliminations. In the qualification round, Das was 35th. Das was unable to keep the momentum going in the 1/8 elimination against Japanese archer Takaharu Furukawa and lost 4-6 bringing an end to his 2020 Olympics campaign.
