Oops, I messed up while updating scores ... Jayanta captured Olympic quota!
Updated - Jayanta Talukdar grabbed direct entry for individual quota for London Olympics 2012 reaching pre-quarterfinal of World championship ... There were 8 spots available for the individual archers from among the teams who had not qualified in the team event ... So Jayanta Talukdar qualified despite finishing outside top 8 ... He lost pre-quarterfinal match against Luxembourg's archer in tie-break shot ... Both tied 5-5 after completion of 5 sets but in one shot tie-break JefF Henckels managed perfect 10 pts and Jayanta managed only 9.

Tarundeep Rai and Deepika Kumari lost in the third round ... They were also tied 5-5 after completion of 5 sets with their respective opponents ... In tiebreak shot all archers shot 10 pts but their opponents shot lot closer to the bulls-eye so declared winners.
