Indian archer Chikitha Taniparthi is eliminated in the quarterfinals of the women’s individual compound archery event at the ongoing Asian Games. She does not advance to the medal rounds after losing in the quarterfinal stage on Thursday.
According to reports, her defeat is narrow and comes by a one-point margin. One outlet says she is beaten 143–144 by Indonesia’s Nurisa Dian Ashrifah in the quarterfinals, ending her campaign in the event. Another report notes that the loss prevents her from achieving a hat-trick of medals.
The outlets also place the result in context with her recent performances: she had been part of India’s successful compound team campaign, and one report says she won two gold medals the day before. Both accounts agree on the key outcome—an early exit in the quarterfinals—and that the margin of defeat is tight.
