The primary reason for Deepika’s failure in last two Olympics has been that ‘nerves got better of her’. The favorite tag unsettled her and she ended up losing the Olympic battles. So what is changed now – why she is being hailed as the favorite to win the Gold medal at Tokyo Olympics –
- Deepika now is far more experienced & far more accomplished in the world of archery.
- Her consistency has improved drastically. She has been winning medals at global events at will.
- The hat-trick of gold medal at the recently concluded World cup stage 3 in Paris will boost her confidence going into her Olympics.
- Playing with her husband in the mixed event has further eased the neves for her.
