London Olympics Archery: Deepika Kumari Eliminated in Round of 32

Deepika Kumari is knocked out of the Women's Singles Archery event after she lost to Amy Oliver of Great Britain in the Round of 16 at the London Olympics.

Deepika Kumari, the World No.1, lost the first set 26-27 but came back well to win the second set 26-22. Amy Oliver was in prime form and she did not waste it. 3 consecutive 9's in the third set ensured that she won the third set 27-26.

Deepika Kumari needed to win both the sets now. But it was not to be as she lost the fourth set 16-27. Deepika finally lost the match 6-2.

With Deepika Kumari's elimination, India's challenge at the London Games has also ended. There were big expectations from Deepika Kumari but it is sad to see her go out in the very first round.
