KOLKATA: Less than a year before the Paris Olympics, Indian archers will begin their quest to earn Games quota places at the Archery World Championships in Berlin. A total of 530 archers - both recurve and compound - from more than 80 countries will take part in the biggest archery tournament of the year. Among them, around 330 will fight for as many as 24 Olympic quota places which will be up for grabs in this five-day event beginning on Tuesday.
With change in qualification process this time, the top three teams (previously it used to be eight) in both men's and women's recurve category will be awarded three quota places apiece. The top three finishers in men's and women's individual recurve, too, will earn their tickets to Paris.
