Archer Harvinder Singh Advances to Quarters in Quest for Second Paralympics medal

Tokyo Games bronze medallist Harvinder Singh secured back-to-back wins to reach quarterfinals in his bid for a successive Paralympics medal in archery competition here on Wednesday.

Harvinder, the only Paralympics medal-winning Indian archer, knocked out Tseng Lung-Hui of Chinese Taipei 7-3 before overcoming an opening set deficit to edge out Setiawan Setiawan of Indonesia 6-2 in the last-16 round.

Harvinder lost the first set by just one point (27-28) after a poor 8-point start. But he was quick to regain composure and nailed three 28s in a row to put pressure on his Indonesian opponent.
