Das, who is the only reaming Indian athlete competing in archery, scripted a memorable comeback to clinch progression, beating two-time Olympic champion Oh Jin Hyek in an epic shoot-off.
Das hit the bullseye to storm into the pre-quarterfinals after coming back from 2-4 down to eventually clinch a 6-5 win. The 29-year-old archer saw off a tough challenge from Chinese Taipei’s Deng Yu-Cheng in the round off 64, before knocking out Jin Hyek in the round of 32. The Korean had won the individual gold medal in London 2012 and was a member of the gold medal-winning team at the ongoing Tokyo Games.
Up next, Das faces Japan’s Takaharu Furukawa, who finished runner up to Oh Jinhyek in the 2012 London Olympics. A homegrown champion, the veteran Furukawa has been at every Olympics since 2004 and won the bronze this year in the mixed team’s event. Furukawa has shown his ability to withstand pressure and will be a tough nut to crack, but Atanu will hope that he can continue his memorable win, and clinch the two wins required for a podium finish.
