Women archers in quarter final but shooter Heena flops

The women's archery team made it to the quarter final by edging out Colombia 5-3.
•    The women's archery team of Laishram Bombayla Devi, Laxmirani Majhi and Deepika Kumari made the quarters of the recurve event .
•    This was the first time that the women archers had advanced to round two after their poor display in London four years ago when Denmark ousted them in round one. Bombayla and Deepika were part of that team.
•    The trio was to face Russian in the quarter-finals later.
•    However, the Indian shooters' unimpressive run continued unabated with Heena crashing out of the women's 10m air pistol qualification round by finishing way behind the leaders in the 14th position out of 44 competitors.
•    2010 Guangzhou Asian Games silver medallist shot an overall 380.
•    Heena, who had finished 12th in her maiden Olympics in 2012 London Games, failed to recover from a poor start and became the fourth shooter to be eliminated in day two of the competition.
•    Russia's Vitalina Batsarashkina topped the qualification round with a score of 390.
