Omitted after below-par show in the national ranking tournament
Star archer Deepika Kumari and her husband Atanu Das were on Thursday dropped from the Sports Ministry’s Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) due to their below-par performances in the national ranking tournament.
The Mission Olympic Cell (MOC) last month decided to review support for Deepika, a former World No. 1 recurve archer, and Atanu after the National Ranking Archery Tournament in Hyderabad.
“Considering their below-par performances in the event, MOC decided to not include them in the TOPS list for now,” the Sports Ministry said in a statement.
