DHAKA, It was a frustrating day as archers Mohammad Hakim
Ahmed Rubel and promising archer Diya Siddique lost their respective events
of the Asian Continental qualifier Tournament for Paris Olympics 2024 held in
Bangkok on Saturday.
In the recurve men’s singles elimination round, Rubel lost his Chinese
counterpart Kwok Yin by 6-5 points in the quarterfinal after the first stage
ended by 5-5 draw.
To decide the result, both of them shot one arrow each. Rubel scored nine
while Kwok Yin scored nine plus it means Rubel was defeated as his arrow was
far away from the center point.
In the recurve women’s singles elimination round, Diya Siddique lost to her
Malaysian rival Mohamad Zairi Ariana Nur Dania by 6-4 points.
The Bangladesh archery team is expected to return home tomorrow (Sunday).
