There were no spectators at the Yumenoshima Park archery field in Tokyo, Japan. Obviously, due to the restrictions of Corona, this time the Tokyo Olympics is bereft of spectators. But India’s archer Atanu Das was getting the support of a voice in the middle of the stadium without spectators. And that voice was none other than his wife and India’s famous archer Deepika Kumari.
Dipika is the number one fan of her husband Atanu Das and what to say when the lone voice of that number one fan is making you scream and cheer. Deepika’s voice was so encouraging for Atanu that Atanu defeated the London Olympic champion Oh Jin Hyek of South Korea in a big upset. And when Atanu upset this, Deepika shouted and said – Good job. However, the road for Atanu to win the medal is still long. But he has already crossed a major obstacle in this path.
His wife Deepika Kumari is currently the world number one and her claim to win a medal for India is also strong. On Wednesday itself, Deepika also made it to the quarter-finals in the women’s individual archery competition. After winning the match, Indian archer Atanu told news agency Reuters – I was listening to my wife’s voice the whole time. She was encouraging me and telling me to believe in myself.
