Kolkata, July 19: It was a disappointing day for the Indians at the Archery World Cup Stage 3, as ace archer Deepika Kumari made a quarterfinal exit, while others failed to progress beyond pre-quarterfinal stage at Medellin, Colombia.
Deepika proved to be no match for her US opponent Miranda Leek, who shot the X ring twice en route to an easy 6-2 victory in the recurve individual section.
Miranda then upset third seed Yuanyuan Cui of China 6-5 in a nerve-wracking battle to make the final.
Deepika was the sole Indian to have advanced to the quarterfinal stage of the competition after notching up easy wins against Regina Maria Romero of Guatemala 6-0 and Denmark's Carina Christiansen 6-4.
