Indian archer Bhajan Kaur advanced to the pre-quarterfinals of the women's individual archery event at the Paris 2024 Olympics after defeating Indonesia’s Syifa Nurafifah Kamal 7-3 and Poland’s Wioleta Myszor 6-0. Kaur initially trailed against Kamal but rallied to win by shooting multiple 10s in the decisive sets. In the Round of 32, Kaur dominated Myszor with consistent high scores. Meanwhile, Ankita Bhakat, who was the top-ranking Indian woman archer, was eliminated early by Myszor, despite initially leading in their match.
