India Win Three Compound Archery Gold Medals

One of the biggest medal wins for the Indians in the Games was made on Wednesday by winning gold in the men’s, women’s, and mixed compound team events.

The women’s compound team of Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Chikitha Taniparthi and Prithika Pradeep beat China 238-234 in the final. This score also matched a world record, and India successfully defended its Asian Games title.

In the mixed compound team event, Chikitha partnered Sahil Jadhav to win the gold medal. They locked horns against the Korean pair in the final, where, in the shoot-off, they won to the score of 157-157. The win also gained India a quota in LA 2028 for the compound mixed team event.

India made it a squash of the compound archery when Sahil Jadhav, Kushal Dalal and Thirumuru Ganesh Maniratnam brought down China 238-237 in the men’s team final. Jadhav came through the contest without a single miss, firing 10s each time. The three archery golds culminated a hat-trick of defenses of all three compound team titles won by India at the last Asian Games.
