Bhubaneswar, July 24 -- India enjoyed a perfect start to their archery campaign at the Olympics on Saturday as the mixed duo of Deepika Kumari and Pravin Jadhav came back from behind to knock out Chinese Taipei and book a quarterfinal berth here.

Trailing 1-3 after they lost the first set by one point, India needed to win the third set to save their fortunes and the duo, shooting together at international level for the first time, showed perfect coordination to seal the issue 5-3 with two perfect 10s.

"We desperately want to win an Olympic medal in archery and it just happened like that," an exuberant Deepika said, failing to express her emotions after their dramatic win.
