Led by the in-form Dhiraj Bommadevara and Ankita Bhakat, India’s campaign at the Paris Olympics began on a positive note as the country’s archers secured a direct entry into the quarter-finals of both the men’s and women’s team events after finishing third and fourth respectively in the ranking round here on Thursday.

Debutants Dhiraj and Ankita’s spectacular show in the qualifications helped India finish in the Top-4, giving them favourable draws to clinch an elusive Olympic medal in archery.
