Indias archery squad for Rio comprises Atanu Das and the womens recurve team of Deepika Kumari, Bombayla Devi and Olympic debutant Laxmirani Majhi.While Das will be competing in the mens individual event -- he qualified via an individual trial in late-June ahead of the more experienced Mangal Singh Champia -- the women will get an opportunity to compete in both the individual and team events in Rio.This will be the first major event in archery where matches will take place under lights. So, world rankings -- such as the Indian womens team being ranked fourth in the world -- could count for little as archers come to terms with unfamiliar conditions. Given that, it would not be a major surprise should the Indian archery contingent come up with their maiden Olympic podium finish in 2016.The teamAtanu Das (mens recurve - individual event)Deepika Kumari (womens recurve - individual and team events)Laxmirani Majhi (womens recurve - individual and team events)Laishram Bombayla Devi (womens recurve - individual and team events)The key dates6-12 AugustHow they got thereMens individual recurve event: Das made the cut for Rio via the Archery Association Indias selection trials, replacing Champia, whod won a quota place by finishing among the top eight at the World Archery Championships in Copenhagen in 2015.Womens individual and recurve team events: They earned three individual berths and a team quota through their performance at the World Championships in Copenhagen in 2015, where they won a team silver.What they sayDeepika Kumari:?When I hear the word Olympics, the first thing that comes to mind is that if you think about it, theres nothing as big in sport as an Olympic medal. Those who have won the medal are considered successful and their lives have changed.L Bombayla Devi:?We have done very well in a lot of international competitions in the run-up to these Olympics. We will try our best to go there and repeat what we have already been doing. In fact, well give it everything to do even better. I am positive about the results well achieve.Laxmirani Manjhi:?Whether it is the individual event or the team event, you have to maintain discipline and your team work has to be perfect. Maybe you dont rely on your team that much when you are in the individual event. But when you are in the team event, teamwork becomes essential.ExtrasIt will be the third consecutive time that L Bombayla Devi would represent India at the Olympics after 2008 and 2012, both in the team as well as the recurve events.Indias track record* Indian archers have participated in every Olympics since 1988.* India has never won a medal in archery at the Olympics.* The women reached the quarterfinals in the team event in 2004 and 2008 -- their best performance to date.* No Indian has reached the quarterfinals in the individual events till now.Walker Zimmerman Jersey .

Jesse Gonzalez Jersey . -- The Sacramento Kings are set to become the first major professional sports franchise to accept Bitcoin virtual currency for ticket and merchandise purchases.Gold Coasts key forwards have combined to wreak havoc against Fremantle, paving the way for 24-point win described by coach Rodney Eade as their best of the AFL season.Both sides fielded undermanned teams due to injury, but Suns trio Sam Day, Peter Wright and Tom Lynch stood tall above the rest in the 16.9 (105) to 12.9 (81) victory on Saturday at Metricon Stadium, improving their record to 6-11.Day booted four goals in arguably his strongest game in several years while Wrights terrific debut season continued with a haul of three majors.Vice-captain Lynch, meanwhile, was well held by Dockers fullback Zac Dawson for most of the match but still managed to kick four goals - two of them coming in the final term when the game was in the balance.Between them, Day, Wright and Lynch contributed 11 of Gold Coasts 16 goals - and with Lynch the oldest of the trio at just 23, the Suns appear well covered in the big-man department for a long time to come.But Eade confessed he was very worried about how the Suns would fare given their dire shortage of on-ballers.The Suns were already missing their six best midfielders - Gary Ablett (shoulder), Jaeger OMeara, David Swallow, Dion Prestia, Michael Rischitelli (knee) and Aaron Hall (hamstring) - and, in a cruel pre-match blow, lost mooted inclusion Matt Rosa to a hamstring issue.However, their makeshift engine room - led by Touk Milller and Alex Sexton - still managed to take the edge in clearances (34-32) and contested possessions (138-124).ddddddddddddWe thought we could get an advantage (with our talls) but we were really worried about the midfield, to be honest, Eade said.But I thought our midfield really stood up - there were some great efforts.Really, for the lack of run that we had, to do what we were able to do was fantastic.Fremantle, who rested veteran Matthew Pavlich to allow him to celebrate his 250th AFL match at home next weekend, were right in the contest until a string of five unanswered goals across the third and fourth quarters put it beyond reach.Midfielder Lachie Neale was their best with a game-high 43 possessions - more than half of those coming before halftime - and 10 clearances.But despite his impressive statistics, he didnt exactly impress Fremantle coach Ross Lyon.I think you can get caught up in the numbers a bit, he said.(He) probably could have pressured around the ball and tackled a bit more. He told me that.Really simply, were leaving it too much to too few and we need a few to buy in.A crowd of 8933 braved the hottest July day recorded on the Gold Coast, with temperatures reaching an unseasonable 28 degrees before the first bounce.
