We need a selection committee in place

for selection and

to create a schedule.

Otherwise with trials every 15 days

and also a World Cup,

there is no time for recovery.

Therefore, an injury is inevitable.

This lack of planning by our authorities

caused Deepika to suffer

a shoulder injury.

I have an appointment with the doctor.

Maybe we will go to Delhi

or after coming back to Mumbai.

The appointment is confirmed.

It's a nightmare to get injured

a few days before the Olympics.

Tell me, what's the matter? When I draw my bow,

it hurts here.

So, I'm not able to pull back.

When I get to this position,

it's very painful--

Whenever she reaches the end

and flicks it and tries to release

that time no pain.

It hurts at this point.

Let me explain.

I'm the one feeling the pain.

It looks like, most probably,

bicipital tendinitis.

-I'm not feeling well.

-What?

-I don't feel so good.

-You have food, then you can sleep.

-You lie down.

-Come.

Lie down.

She'll lie down for some time.

-You need water?

-I think I'm going to throw up.

I have pain in my right shoulder.

I need to fix it at any cost.

I can't let the authorities' apathy

hamper my chances.

But anyway, I'm very excited

to leave for the Olympics

and represent India.

Maybe I'm the girl who will bring home

a medal for India.

I'm sure my Mum will be praying to God

during my matches in Rio.

"Help my daughter win!"

My Dad is going on a pilgrimage to Shirdi.

I've been to every place of worship

so that my daughter returns victorious

and does Jharkhand proud.

I request the media to also pray for her

to come home a winner.

I don't know why I'm crying.

Maybe these are tears of joy

in anticipation of good news.

I just hope I don't feel any pain.

Hope this won't lead to pain.

It hurts.

A lot?

It hurts when I release...

after holding it in this position.

Deepika was at her peak

during the first three trials

where she broke the world record.

Then she got injured

and lost sensation in her shoulder.

Without pain she shoots fine,

with pain she gets nervous.

Her mental focus wavers

when she doesn't shoot well.

She forgets to use her elbow.

She's not able to do it the first time.

Only sometimes she is able to.

She shouldn't merely

rely on her wrist.

She should exert power

from her shoulder and elbow.

You have to control your wrist.

You have to close the gap

between your forearm and shoulder.

Keep your wrist in...

and use your elbow as an anchor.

That will improve your shooting

and you'll consistently hit the X.

When the gap increases,

it means you're using your wrist.

Someone's calling.

Please come in.

I've been wondering
