Indian men's recurve team put up a solid show to go past Norway 5-1 and storm into the pre-quarterfinals at the World Archery Championships to be just one win away from securing an Olympic quota, here Tuesday. The trio of Tarundeep Rai, Pravin Jadhav and Atanu Das will next face Canada's Eric Peters, Crispin Duenas and Brian Maxwell on Wednesday in a bid to secure the three-athlete quotas for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. The women's recurve team also remained in the fray by qualifying sixth from a field of 55 nations for one of the eight Olympic quota spots. Komalika Bari shot 650 to be ranked 40th in a field of 152 competitors. The quarterfinalists in the recurve men's and women's team events at this World Championships will receive three-athlete quotas for the 2020 Olympics.
