Bhajan Kaur dominated Poland's Wioleta Myszor in straight sets in the Round of 16 elimination round to register a 6-0 victory and reach the pre-quarterfinals.
Ranked 45 in the world, Bhajan Kaur scored 28, 29, 28 in the three sets to confirm her qualification to the next round. Myszor was not able to find her footing in the match as she struggled with scores of 23, 26, and 22 with only one shot in the inner-10 circle.
Despite Kaur's win, there were some signs of gloom in the Indian archery camp as fellow compatriot Ankita Bhakat was eliminated moments before Kaur's match.
Despite being one set from victory, Ankita lost the final two sets and missed out on qualifying with a 4-6 loss to Poland's Wioleta Myszor.
