Archery: Recurve Men's Semi-finals: Neeraj Chauhan loses 1-7; To fight for bronze against Dhiraj
A bad start for Neeraj, having 9-9-10 in the first set in comparison to Japan's Junya Nakanishi who had a 10-10-9, edging Neeraj 29-28.
He had another poor set, with 8-10-9 and went down 0-4 to Junya after the two sets. The Indian earned his first point in the third set after a tie set at 29-29.
In the fourth set, he had another poor series of 9-9-8, and he conceded the set 26-29 and lost the match 1-7 and will fight for bronze against Dhiraj.
This also meant that India will miss out on the LA Olympic quota in men's recurve, as only the two best non-qualified archers earn a quota in singles.
