Archer Deepika Kumari vows for podium finish in Los Angeles after Paris heartbreak

Multiple World Cup medal winning archer Deepika Kumari flattered to deceive for four straight Olympics in Paris. However, she has vowed not to quit unless she ends up on podium which she feels could be Los Angeles in four years’ time.

“Obviously, I want to play more in the future and will continue my game. I really want to win an Olympic medal, and I won’t quit until I achieve that. I’ll train harder and come back strongly,” said Deepika.

“Firstly, I will present myself more strongly. There are many things, like quick shooting, that I need to learn a bit more about, and it’s very important to train myself accordingly. What I learned from the Olympics is that late shooting doesn’t work; you have no room to make big mistakes, so you have to control that. I will learn that from here,” she said.

With her sight on Los Angeles Olympics in 2028, Deepika said, “In the next Olympics, I want to be mentally stronger and win a medal. I really want to win an Olympic medal.”
