Archery World Cup: India Claim Silver in Compound Team Event; Yet Finish-Line Woes Persist
India won silver in the women's compound team event at the Archery World Cup Stage 4, losing 225-227 to Chinese Taipei. India opened their medal tally at the Archery World Cup Stage 4 with a silver in the women's compound team event on Saturday. However, the result once again exposed the team's recurring struggle to hold their nerve in high-pressure moments. The top-seeded trio of Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Parneet Kaur, and 16-year-old debutant Prithika Pradeep had entered the final with momentum, having topped the qualification round with a combined score of 2116 points. Their form carried into the gold medal match, where they led 170–169 after the third end and looked poised to finish on top. But in a dramatic final end, the Indian team faltered under pressure, ultimately falling 225–227 to Chinese Taipei. The match began evenly, with both teams scoring 57 in the first end. India then edged ahead in the second, shooting an impressive 58 to Chinese Taipei's 56 and opening a slim 115–113 lead. Though they lost the third end 55–56 due to a costly arrow that landed in the 8-ring, India still carried a one-point advantage heading into the fourth and final end. But when the pressure peaked, the execution faltered. A wayward 7 in the closing stages proved decisive, and India could only manage a total of 55 in the final end. In contrast, Chinese Taipei's trio — Huang I-Jou, Chen Yi-Hsuan, and Chiu Yu-Erh — delivered a clutch performance, scoring a match-winning 58 to snatch gold. India's inability to close out matches in crucial moments remains a concerning pattern. The defeat once again underscored the team's mental fragility in crunch situations — a weakness that has persisted since the departure of renowned Italian coach Sergio Pagni after the 2022 Asian Games. His absence continues to leave a visible gap in the team's ability to manage high-stakes moments. Despite the setback, India remains in contention for more podium finishes in the compound category. Jyothi Surekha Vennam will look to secure a third consecutive medal when she pairs with Rishabh Yadav in the mixed team bronze playoff. Both Jyothi and Parneet Kaur are also through to the semifinals in the individual event, offering India further chances to add to their medal haul later in the day.

Indian archers once again falter under pressure, settle for silver in Archery World Cup Stage 4
Madrid, India opened their account at the Archery World Cup Stage 4 with a silver medal in the women's compound team event here on Saturday, but the result once again highlighted the team's inability to handle crunch situations. Indian archers once again falter under pressure, settle for silver in Archery World Cup Stage 4 The trio of Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Parneet Kaur and 16-year-old debutant Prithika Pradeep, who had topped the qualification round with a total of 2116 points, looked well on course for gold and justify their top-billing when they led 170-169 after the third end. However, they faltered under pressure at the decisive moment, eventually going down 225-227 to Chinese Taipei. Both teams were locked at 57-all after the first end, but the Indians raised their game in the second, dropping just two points to take the end 58-56 and open up a slender 115-113 lead. They still held a narrow advantage despite losing the third end by a point after an untimely arrow found the 8-ring. The gold was well within reach, the Indians simply could not close it out in the fourth and final end. A wayward 7 in the final-end proved costly, while Chinese Taipei's trio of Huang I-Jou, Chen Yi-Hsuan and Chiu Yu-Erh held their composure to shoot a match-winning 58. The Indians, in contrast, could muster only 55 an underwhelming effort at a stage where consistency and nerves matter most. The defeat once again exposed the team's mental frailties in tight finishes and underlined the void left since the departure of reputed compound coach Sergio Pagni after the 2022 Asian Games a void that still remains unaddressed. India, however, remain in the hunt for more medals in the compound section. Jyothi will aim for a hat-trick when she teams up with Rishabh Yadav for the mixed team bronze playoff. She is also in contention in the individual event along with Parneet Kaur, with both archers slated to compete in their respective semifinals later in the day.
