In the decisive fifth set, Atanu and Lee were tied 19-19 after the first two shots. The disappointed Indian could only rue the missed chances even as the exulted Korean celebrated his narrow escape. But Atanu could only strike a 9, which was enough to tie the fifth set 28-28 but insufficient to save the match. Rio de Janeiro: Indian archers drew a blank at the Olympic Games after Atanu Das let slip crucial chances in his men’s individual recurve pre-quarterfinal to bow out of contention and draw curtains on the country’s campaign in the sport on Friday. The third set ended up being a tie before Lee nosed ahead by grabbing the fourth set.
