The 2012 edition of the Games, staged in the British capital of London stage the event for the 3rd time in the Games history.

An 83-member Indian contingent left for the Old Blighty, 6 of whom formed the archery team. Among them was a young girl from Ranchi who had already created waves in the archery world.

Deepika Kumari had earlier that year won the gold in the Antalya World Cup and had ascended to the top of the world rankings.

But the Olympic stage proved to be too big a hurdle for her to cross for her in her maiden attempt and she faltered as early as the opening round, losing to Amy Oliver of Great Britain in the Women's Recurve.
