Rio de Janeiro: Indian women paddlers Mouma Das and Manika Batra made their exit from the Rio Olympics after losing their preliminary round singles matches to higher-ranked rivals in the Table Tennis competition here on Saturday.
World No 150 Mouma's challenge was lukewarm and short-lived as the Indian veteran, in her second Olympics, lost to World No 58 Daniela Dodean Monteiro of Romania 2-11, 7-11, 7-11, 3-11.
Debutant Manika, on the other hand, put up a good fight before going down to her 60th-ranked Polish rival Katarzyna Franc-Grzybowska 2-4 (12-10, 6-11, 12-14, 11-8, 4-11, 12-14 in 48 minutes.
