Further, India set the arena on fire with their exploits in the end 3 hitting the mark on every single occasion. They gathered all possible 60 points from the end while the archers from Chinese Taipei earned only 52 points. The Indian domination continued in the final end as well and India cruised into the final assuring India of an archery medal with a scoreline of 234-224.
