Chinese Taipei archer Deng Yu-cheng faced off in the archery men's individual event on July 29 against India's Atanu Das. Das won the first round by one point, 27-26. Deng came back strong in the second round, hitting two consecutive 10-pointers. The second round ended with the score tied at 2-2. In the third round, Deng made a costly mistake. With Das just one round away from winning the match, Deng fought back and won the fourth round by one point. In the fifth round, the score was tied after the first two arrows. Unfortunately, Deng only scored seven points on his final shot. Deng ultimately lost the match 4-6 and was eliminated in the Round of 64. Nevertheless, his friends and family back in Taiwan sent their support and encouragement.

Mother of Deng Yu-cheng："It came down to the final arrow. He tried his best and that's what counts. Not many people make it to the Olympics."

Deng's mother says he only became interested in archery after enrolling in an athletics program. Although he once thought about giving up on archery, he instead discovered a second passion in anime.

Mother of Deng Yu-cheng："He did think about giving up on archery, but instead developed an interest in anime. It's good to have a hobby because he doesn't have time for much else."

The 22-year-old is a self-described "amateur otaku" and frequently posts about anime and video games on his social media and brings his favorite games to the National Sports Training Center. His career as an archer will continue to thrive. 

開局射出8分，對手以10分箭回敬，我國射箭選手鄧宇成，29號台灣時間上午，出賽東奧射箭男子個人項目，對戰印度選手達斯，第一局以26比27，輸掉首局。調整節奏後，鄧宇成第二局接連兩支10分箭，扳回一城，兩人戰成2比2平手；來到第三局，比分緊咬，但鄧宇成的第三箭，出現失誤。對手率先聽牌，鄧宇成頂住壓力，以1分之差，拿下第四局，雙方纏鬥到第5局，前兩箭，比分相同，關鍵的最後一箭，可惜，只有7分。鄧宇成射箭男單項目，一箭之差，最終以4比6，止步64強，儘管未能晉級，遠在台灣的家人，仍給上滿滿加油打氣。

東奧射箭國手鄧宇成媽媽表示：「一箭之差，盡力就好，沒關係。反正有到了奧運場上，已經是個不錯的事情了。」

一字排出，全是獎牌獎狀，宇成媽媽說，孩子是進到體育班後，才慢慢培養出射箭興趣，中間也一度想要放棄，不過，反倒因為射箭，培養出動漫興趣。

東奧射箭國手鄧宇成媽媽表示：「休閒活動，因為他除了射箭，只能看動漫，沒有其他時間，也不能到處去玩。」

社群上，不時分享動漫、遊戲等二次元周邊，更把喜愛的動漫角色，帶進國訓中心，自稱"業餘宅男"的鄧宇成，年僅22歲，這回，雖然未能晉級，但未來在射箭上表現，令國人期待。
