Indian archery star Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru, representing TAGG Athletes, edged out his fellow Indian Sahil Jadhav by a razor-thin 149-148 margin in the men's compound individual round of 16 at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya on Monday. This thrilling all-Indian clash secured Ganesh's progression to the quarterfinals. The intense battle saw both archers displaying exceptional precision throughout the match, but it was Ganesh who managed to clinch the victory in the closing stages, according to ESPN.
Earlier, Ganesh had triumphed over Indonesia's Sostar Andaru Rinaldi 144-142 in the round of 32. Ganesh will now face Chinese Taipei's Chen Chieh-lun in the quarterfinals on October 1. Jadhav, who also started his campaign strongly by defeating Mongolia's Jamiyangombo Purevdorj 149-137 in the round of 32, was eliminated by his Indian teammate.
This result leaves Ganesh as the sole Indian representative left in the men's individual compound draw.
