India vs Mexico ： gold recurve women team

Very shortly Here they come the Indian team and leading out Mexico for this gold medal match I'm Karen Bashir and joining me in commentary is former world number one Nikki Hunt. Nikki, India Really great surprise package here They really have we've not seen them much on the circuit this year missing the second World Cup But Deepak Akumar is going to feature in three finals today Mexico lining up with either a man Alejandro Valencia and Ana Vazquez India with Kamalika Barry and Keita back at and to peak at Kumari actually saw Kumari there breathing Heavily trying to control the nerves Yeah, this is a high-pressure event. You know, you're on the big stage all the cameras. So keeping calm is really important So this is it the gold medal match and it will be Alejandro Valencia of Mexico to get us underway Just hitting the line for a 10 a good sighted to start things off We'll go on two rotations through the arches one arrow each in each of the rotations. Now that is a very Special hat she's wearing today either a man Certainly gonna keep any rain off that we saw like yesterday if that happens again The youngest of the Mexicans and I've asked guess at 20 years old the world number 36 Not a bad start at 28 through the first rotation set system here Nikki as well That's right. So we're going to shoot best of four sets So basically the golden numbers if you can hit five set points Winning that a set gives you two if you tie just one so first to five points Start from Keita back at handing over to the 19 year old Barry This is a really good start from India Here is their superstar Topeka Kamari featured in a Netflix documentary not so long ago Yeah, women's first fantastic documentary on Netflix check it out Yeah, a really good insight into Backstory and the struggles that she has faced on the way to the top and she has qualified for the Olympic Games as well Kamari Here Valencia being another one into the ten But to be a nine to finish for a 57 so That is a gettable target for India that they can only afford To drop a single point over the next three arrows and that to draw level There is the single point so it leaves Kamari needing a 10 To square up the set set point each if she does Set Just clipping the line for all square and a 57 so number one It's Valencia back up to start things from Mexico in set two You know potentially a bit of a mistake from Alejandro in that first arrow But then you know talking immediately with the team smiling about it. You know Mistakes happen, you know, and it's how you react and give me a teammate the right information to get that 10 next time Left so archery a game of pressure an opportunity. The opportunity is here for India Dupika Kamari there saying good shot marked for a measure initial thoughts I think that's probably touched the line See Kamari there in the middle of the three providing her support on number three Nate with her first arrow the first set she has found the middle of the target here though a 9 at 70 meters is a great shot, but I'm sure India are looking at that thinking there is another opportunity there And I've asked is the 20 year old the youngest on the team Anchoring the Mexicans pops up into the eight by the looks of things. It's marked for a measure. So One arrow for the Mexicans could be marked up. Let's call it a provisional 53 57 available to the Indians Just look at the conditions down the range and that lovely wide angle we had then and you know There's feather flags all the way down the side of the field Nothing's moving out there at all that the digital windsock thinks in 0.1 doesn't get much better than this Big contrast from last weekend Yeah we had swelling winds in the stadium the flags moving in different directions from where the archers were shooting to the targets and Yeah, much much more difficult because you just didn't know where to aim. But it's definitely down the center today We're just on the line there so getting the higher score a 29 through the first rotation for Mexico Good bit of pressure put on to the Indian team Come on like a Barry very relaxed going into full draw Staying focused on the target India will trail by Minimum of one point at the halfway stage in this third set Well, clearly a bit of communication going on there Perhaps a slight over correction from Kamari Yeah, possibly. I mean, I just look so composed don't they just say relaxed calm following their processes really impressive A Real contrast from last weekend at the final Olympic qualifier here in this stadium When Mexico came out and they looked jittery and nervous right from the start of this match. They looking very relaxed Enjoying themselves That is Well, they used up a lot of their time there 54 is the result with the pressure on Anna Vasquez anchoring the team you've got a chance here Way to capitalize on the opportunity They've got a chance here to put this to bed and three Yeah, it means a 55 is still available Topeka Kamari steps up the only Indian female Qualified for the Olympic Games needs a 10 to take gold here in Paris. Oh What a lovely shot there from Topeka Kamari the Indians have done this In three sets of what a performance Nikki Absolutely fantastic. They look composed and they relaxed all the way through Fantastic shooting against, you know, really strong Mexican team as well Congratulations to them Yeah, and respectful celebration
