PETALING JAYA: Malaysia's campaign in the women's recurve team event ended early at Les Invalides on Sunday.

Indonesia will go on to play Hangzhou Asian Games silver medallist China in the quarter-finals later in the day.

Syaqiera, Ariana and Azreena, who are the first three Malaysian archers to feature in the Olympic team event, will now focus on the women's recurve individual event taking place on Tuesday.
