India continued to have mixed results in Olympic Games archery fields as top male archer Dhiraj Bommadevara made it to the Round of 32 with a 7-1 win against Czechia's Adam Li here on Tuesday. After Bhajan Kaur won her match to reach pre-quarters and Ankita Bhakat lost in the Women's Individual Competition, Bommadevara's victory kept alive India's hopes of a medal following the disappointing performance in the Team Competition. 

The 22-year-old Bommadevara, who finished fourth in the ranking round, showed good form at the Les Invalides on Tuesday as he won his opening match. Bouncing back from Monday's disappointing defeat in the men's team event, Bommadevara hit 10s on seven of his 12 shots against Olympic debutant Adam Li.
