The on-going World Archery Championship in Copenhagen is the primary qualifier for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. On the team-elimination day on July 28, 2015, India’s recurve women’s team of Deepika Kumari, Laxmi Rani Majhi and Rimil Buriuly showed tremendous standing power by beating Germany and by making it to the last eight, the trio qualified for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. It wasn’t an easy victory since the Indian team trailed 1-3 in the first set. But they held their nerves and turned the tables on the German women to register a thrilling 5-3 victory. But in the men’s event, Rahul Banerjee, Mangal Singh Champia and Jayanta Talukdar couldn’t capitalize on their solid early 4-2 lead and failed against the second seeded Italians, who edged them out.
