Neeraj Chauhan will look to continue his impressive run at the Asian Games 2026 when he takes on Bhutan’s Lam Dorji in the men’s individual recurve archery quarterfinals. The Indian archer has already produced one of the standout results of the knockout stages, defeating South Korea’s three-time Olympic gold medallist Kim Je Deok 6-4 in the Round of 16. Chauhan also came through his earlier clash against Indonesia’s Riau Ega Agata Salsabilla, setting up a quarterfinal against Dorji at the Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.
With a place in the semifinals at stake, Chauhan will be aiming to maintain the accuracy and composure that have carried him through the knockout rounds so far. His recent scores have included several 29s and 30s, underlining his consistency as the pressure has increased. Dhiraj Bommadevara is also through to the quarterfinals on the other side of the draw, meaning victories for both Indians could create the possibility of an all-Indian showdown later in the competition and further strengthen India’s medal hopes in individual recurve archery.
