The 31st seeded Indian started the match on a great note with 10-9-10 and put all pressure on Bazarzhapov who was just able to shoot 9-9-9. In the second round the Russian started with a perfect 10-10 but somehow ended with a very poor 7, Jadhav rose to the occasion and took another two points by shooting a 10 on the last arrow.
The last set was dominated by Pravin from the start as the archer shot 9-9-10 in comparison to 8-7-9 of Galsan.
Earlier in the day, Tarundeep Rai crashed out of men's individual archery after losing to Israel's Itay Shanny 6-4 in the 1/16 eliminations round.
