Beijing Olympics- Mangal Singh Champia Ranked Second in Initial Rounds in Archery
I was searching for Olympic results for India. Could see a lot of news items for Anjali Bhagwat and Avneet not qualifying for women shooting events. But found about Mangal Singh Champia's second place in 'ranking rounds' (don't ask me what they are) on this website called Great Findings.
I digged news but found nothing. Beijing Official Olympic Website confirms the same.

2. Champia Mangal Singh
If you know more about this event do drop a comment. I would really like to know what are his medal prospects now! I am sure news will trickle in slowly about this, once the media is over the disappointment of the shooters.

Mangal Singh Champia takes Vaezi Hojjatolah from Iran on August 13, 2008 for 1/32 eliminations.

The ranking event is to decide the seedings for the main event which is played as a knockout event. Ranking higher implies that you will play lower ranked players till you get to the last rounds.

Mohit many thanks, I am really miffed about lack of news in India about Champia's show.
hi.
you made my life easy by updating this post with key updates...
Lets hope India doesn't return empty handed..
Shrinidhi, the real updates are at Great Findings (see link in the post). Come Monday and I would give up!
But yes, I am keeping an eye on Champia.
