Like Bhokanal, Atanu Das was India’s only representative in the men’s Individual archery event. The 24-year-old showed a lot of promise from the outset, finishing 5th in the ranking round before defeating Jitbahadur Muktal of Nepal 6-0 and Adrian Puentas of Cuba 6-4 in the Round of 32. He eventually lost to Lee Seung-yun of South Korea by the same margin.
For someone who was competing in his maiden Olympics, it was a fantastic effort from Das. Along with the likes of Abhishek Verma, he will be expected to carry the fortunes of Men’s Singles archery on his shoulders in the coming years.
