Tokyo Olympics 2020: India's medal hunt begins with archery on Saturday

If everything goes as per the script, India`s first medal should come from the women`s 10m air rifle event. Apurvi Chandela and Elavenil Valarivan will be going into the 10m air rifle qualification round high on confidence as they have had good performances in the last couple of years.

Tokyo: India`s hunt for medals at the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020 starts early on Saturday morning with the country`s athletes figuring in three medal events. The scratch mixed team pair of Deepika Kumari and Pravin Jadhav will start the Tokyo Olympics campaign with the first elimination round match in archery against the Chinese Taipei pair of Lin Chia-en and Tang Chih-Chun. Deepika was to team up with her husband Atanu Das for this event. They had a successful outing in Paris earlier this month when they won the mixed team title in the World Cup Stage 3.
