Deepika Kumari, Parth Salunkhe Win Bronze As India Finish With 7 Medals At Archery World Cup Stage 2
India's most decorated archer, Deepika Kumari, salvaged her pride with a hard-earned bronze medal after a semifinal heartbreak, while Parth Salunkhe also finished on the podium for the first time as India wrapped up their campaign at the Archery World Cup Stage 2 with seven medals in Shanghai Sunday. A day after compound archers put up a dominating show with five medals, Deepika and Salunkhe added two more from the recurve section to end India's campaign on a high. Exactly a year after the 21-year-old reigning Olympic champion Lim Sihyeon had knocked Deepika out at the same stage of the Yecheon World Cup, the Indian was undone again by the Korean in the semifinal, losing 1-7 in a largely one-sided women's recurve individual contest. The 30-year-old four-time Olympian, though, bounced back strongly to defeat another Korean, Kang Chae Young, 7-3 in the bronze medal playoff and return with a consolation podium finish. Deepika's win took India's overall medal tally to six at the event, with five coming from the compound section on Saturday that included a remarkable triple-medal haul by comeback archer Madhura Dhamangankar. In the bronze medal playoff, Deepika showed greater composure and tactical clarity than her defeat to Lim in the semis. The opening set ended in a 27-all tie, but Deepika edged ahead with a solid 28 in the second to take a 3-1 lead. Kang, a former world champion who had beaten Deepika in the Berlin World Cup quarterfinals back in 2017, fought back in the third, scoring a flawless 30 to Deepika's 27 to make it three-all. The Indian responded with her best shooting under pressure, firing three perfect arrows for 30 in the fourth set to again take a 5-3 lead. Needing just a draw in the final set to secure victory, Deepika delivered once more, shooting 29 to Kang's 28, to bag the bronze. Earlier, Deepika began nervously in the semifinal, losing the first set 26-27 despite hitting two 9s. The second set saw both archers shoot 28, but Lim held steady to force a split and deny Deepika any rhythm. The world No. 1 then shifted into top gear, drilling in a perfect 30 in the third set while Deepika managed 28. With momentum fully on her side, Lim wrapped up the match in the fourth with a 29, as Deepika managed a 28. It was a repeat of their 2023 clash, though Deepika had managed to take two set points back then. In the men's section, 21-year-old Salunkhe, who qualified lowly at 60th place, impressed with his resilience after a 1-7 loss to top seed and Korean legend Kim Woojin in the semifinals. After taking just one point off multiple Olympic medallist and reigning champion Woojin in his semifinal loss, Salunkhe bounced back impressively to beat higher-seeded French archer Baptiste Addis 6-4 in a tense five-settter to earn his maiden World Cup medal. Salunkhe began in style with a flawless 30, including an X, to take the opening set. He slipped in the second, hitting an 8 that led to a 28-all tie. The third set was a scrappy affair, both archers managing just 25. Addis then raised his level with a perfect 30 to level the match 4-4. But the young Indian held his nerves in the decider, shooting two 10s, one of them an X, and a 9 to edge out Addis by a point.

Deepika, Parth bag bronze as India finish with 7 medals at Archery World Cup Stage 2
Seasoned archer Deepika Kumari and Parth Salunkhe bagged bronze medals as India finished their campaign with seven medals at the Archery World Cup Stage 2 on Sunday. In a tense bronze medal match, Deepika defeated Tokyo Olympic team gold medallist Kang Chaeyoung of Korea with a 7-3 scoreline. Her victory marked India's first medal of the year in the women's recurve category and her 12th individual World Cup medal. She delivered two outstanding final sets, scoring a perfect 30 and a near-perfect 29, to secure the win. Deepika was the only non-Korean to reach the women's recurve semifinals, preventing a Korean sweep by clinching bronze after a 1-7 loss to Paris Olympic champion Lim Sihyeon in the semi-final. Parth Salunkhe, the reigning U21 world champion, claimed his first World Cup medal in the men's recurve category. He edged past Paris Olympic medallist Baptiste Addis of France 6-4 in a nail-biting bronze medal match. Parth had earlier put up a strong fight in the semi-final clash against South Korea's Kim Woo Jin, rallying from two sets down to level the match, but a final-shot 7 in the deciding set saw him fall short 4-6. In the bronze match, he again entered the final set at 4-4 but held his nerve with back-to-back 10s to seal victory. His win marked India's second straight medal in the men's recurve, following Dhiraj's bronze at the Florida World Cup. With these two bronze medals in recurve events, India wrapped up the Shanghai World Cup with a total of seven medals: 2 gold, 1 silver, and 4 bronze.
