Paris Paralympics: India's Pooja Fails To Press Home Advantage; Loses In Quarterfinals
Paris Paralympics: Indian para-archer Pooja failed to capitalise on a 4-0 advantage and missed a spot in the semifinals as she lost to China's Wu Chunyan in the quarterfinals of the Women's Recurve Open archery competition at the Paralympic Games here on Tuesday.
Pooja went down 4-6 to the Chinese archer after winning the first two sets 28-23 and 25-24 in the French capital. Wu Chunyan won three consecutive sets 28-27, 27-24 and 27-24 to win the quarterfinal match.
After winning the first two games, Pooja was on the verge of victory, having shot two 10s in the third set while her opponent had a 10 and a nine. But just when it mattered the most, Pooja could manage only a seven on her third turn in the third set while the Chinese archer had a nine on her third arrow and won the set to remain alive in the quarterfinal.
