Sonipat: Deepika lost two of
her three round robin matches in the final leg to miss the Asian Games berth at
the SAI centre here on Sunday.
Deepika had finished a lowly
fifth in the two-phase eliminations on Saturday to determine the top-eight, as
she had to fight in the round robin matches. The Asian Games will take place in
Hangzhou from September 10-25. This is for the first time since winning a Gold
medal at the New Delhi Commonwealth Games 2010, Deepika will be out of a multi-discipline
showpiece event. The 27-year-old has represented India at the Asian Games in
2010, 2014 and 2018, winning a team Bronze in Guangzhou 12 years ago.
In her senior career since
2009, Deepika’s trophy cabinet is full of World medals, but an Olympic podium
finish has eluded the most decorated Indian archer.
Deepika has won 11 Gold medals, 12 Silver and seven Bronze at the World Cup. She is also a record four-time ‘World Cup Final’ runner-up and a Bronze medalist. Deepika has also won two Silver medals at the World Championships. (PTI)
