He may no longer be the India No. 1 recurve archer, but the seasoned Atanu Das is fully aware of the responsibility of not only bringing out the best in him but also the team as they look to overcome the Asian Games 'jinx'.
Recurve archery, an Olympic discipline, has been on a downward spiral and its slide has ironically coincided with the rise in the compound section, where India now boast of two recently-crowned world champions in Ojas Deotale and Aditi Swami.
With the postponed Asian Games taking place just a year before the Paris Olympics, the pressure is more on recurve where no archer is inside the top-10 in world rankings.
India have not won a recurve medal, individual or team, since the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games.
Das, who is set for a third Asian Games participation, is the senior-most archer in the recurve team, which will have promising Army man Dhiraj Bommadevara and the rookie duo of Mrinal Chauhan and Tushar Shelke.
In the women's section, two-time Asian Games ...

A tornado killed five people and seriously injured four others in eastern China, state media said Wednesday.
The tornado hit parts of Suqian city in Jiangsu province about 5:20 p.m. on Tuesday, state broadcaster CCTV said. It destroyed 137 homes and damaged crop land and pig farms.
Videos posted online showed cars that had been tossed about, including at least one flipped onto its side, and debris swirling in the air above a several-story-high building.
CCTV said that power and road service had been restored in the area.
Tornadoes are rare in China but have caused deaths in Jiangsu in recent years. One person in the province was killed in a tornado last year and four died in 2021. Another tornado killed eight people in the city of Wuhan the same day.

Puducherry assembly met for half an hour on Wednesday and after transacting scheduled business, Speaker R Selvam adjourned the House sine die.
As soon as the House commenced its proceedings, the Speaker made obituary references of former AIADMK legislators of Puducherry N Venkatasamy and S Palaninathan and also to the passing away of  French writer and novelist Madhana Kalyani recently. All the legislators stood in silence for a couple of minutes paying homage to the departed legislators and the woman writer.
After obituary references were made, the opposition DMK and the Congress legislators staged a walk out. The members wanted the session be held for a considerable number of days.
The Speaker asked the protesting members to resume their seats and he would reply to their pleas. However, the legislators kept raising their protest and staged a walk out.
The Speaker later hailed the successful landing of the Chandrayaan 3 on the south pole of the Moon on August 23. He said that the

A bill to reserve one-third of the seats in the Lower House of India's Parliament and state assemblies for women is a transformative piece of legislation and a push for gender parity and egalitarianism, the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) has said.
In a statement issued on Friday, USISPF president Mukesh Aghi also underlined the importance of having more women at the top of decision-making bodies in the world's largest democracy.
The watershed bill received the Parliamentary nod on Thursday as Rajya Sabha voted unanimously in favour of it.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked the MPs for supporting the legislation and said once more women assume leadership roles and join the nation-building process, they will become a guarantee of the country's bright future.
Aghi said, "This is a major step by the Indian government and the honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in achieving gender equality and increased representation."
India was one of the first countries in
