Tokyo: India Archer Deepika Kumari on Friday finished the first half of the women's individual ranking round with a score of 334 points here at the Tokyo Olympics.
The completion of 36 Arrows of 72 saw Deepika making a brilliant comeback and improving her game that saw her climbing up to number fourth position after a sluggish start. The Korean duo of An San (345) and Jang Minhee (339) are leading the charts.
The archery competition starts with a ranking round, where all 128 archers (64 men and as many women) are asked to shoot 72 arrows at a target 70 meters away in 12 ends (groupings). Each archer has two minutes to shoot six arrows at each end. 720 is the perfect score.
