Sports Climbing: Deepu Gowda exits in the quarterfinal heat

Deepu Gowda finished third in the quarterfinal heat 4, clocking 5.32s, behind Chinese and Japanese climbers.

Only the top two were to advance to the next round; this meant he would exit the competition.

Earlier, he had clocked the national record of 5.091s in the qualifying round to book his place in the last 16, but now he will be ending his campaign in Aichi-Nagoya.
