We secure a quota in the women’s archery Tokyo 2020, as Deepika Kumari secured a gold beating her compatriot Ankita Bhakat in the Asian continental qualification tournament final in Bangkok ... There were 3 recurve men’s and 3 recurve women’s places available ... A country can only participate if they had not already won a space in that category ... Each country can win a maximum of one space in each category ... This quota place also means that we are also guaranteed to have a spot in the mixed team competition.

Before this in the Asian Championship, our recurve archers won 4 bronze medals - men's team and women's team, Atanu Das won beating a Korean in men's individual, and our mixed pair team of Atanu Das and Deepika Kumari also won a bronze.
