Kolkata: In a year that witnessed two sporting spectacles in Commonwealth Games and Asian Games, Indian archers had some hits as well as misses as they became a force to reckon with, ahead of the London Olympics in two years time.
The emergence of 16-year-old Deepika Kumari, seen as the future of Indian archery, and the stunning comeback by 2004 Olympian Tarundeep Rai after being in the sidelines for about two years were some high points of 2010.
Daughter of an autorickshaw driver in Ranchi, the 'baby' Deepika was the best performer in the Commonwealth Games when she clinched the gold in individual section and helped the team win another yellow metal.
