Indian compound archers crash out at World Cup Stage 3
Antalya: Indian compound archers disappointed at the Archery World Cup Stage 3 as none of them managed to reach the medal rounds in the individual and mixed categories here on Friday. India, who finished second behind South Korea with two gold, one silver, and four bronze medals at the previous stage in Shanghai, are yet to open their medal account here. Madhura Dhamangaonkar, the fourth seed and winner of the last World Cup, was ousted in the quarterfinals by fifth-seeded Mariana Bernal of Mexico. Madhura lost 152-159 in the women's individual section. Mariana was consistent throughout, while Madhura struggled to find her rhythm after an opening round of 29 out of a possible 33. World champion Aditi Swami also exited in the last-eight stage, going down 147-152 to Mexico's second-seeded Andrea Becerra.

Amravati's Madhura Helps India Reach Quarterfinals of Archery World Cup Stage 3 In Antalya
Nagpur: For the second successive time in the Archery World Cup, Madhura Dhamangaonkar, a small-town girl from Amravati, will lead India's campaign. Exactly 25 days after she spearheaded India's medal success with three podium finishes in Shanghai, Madhura continued her impressive run in the Archery World Cup Stage 3, which began in Antalya, Turkey, on Wednesday. At the second stage of the World Cup in Shanghai last month, Madhura helped India's compound archers achieve their highest medal count when she secured individual women's gold, women's team silver, and mixed team bronze medals. Continuing from where she left off in Shanghai, the 24-year-old Madhura finished fourth in the compound qualification round at Antalya to guide the Indian women's team to the quarterfinals. Thanks to Madhura's heroics, the Indian team secured the third seeding and a direct entry to the quarterfinals, where they will face the winner of Kazakhstan and Great Britain. If India crosses the quarterfinal hurdle, they will face the challenge of second-seeded and experienced Korea in the semifinals. In the qualification round, Madhura gave an impressive score of 600 to finish fourth, just three points behind South Korean legend Han Seungyeon (603).

Madhura Dhamangaonkar continued her impressive run, finishing fourth in the compound women's qualification round, helping India secure the third seeding and a direct entry into the quarterfinals at the Archery World Cup Stage 3 in Antalya on Wednesday. Madhura, who made a remarkable comeback to the international circuit last month after three years, had bagged three medals -- an individual gold, a silver in the women's team event, and a mixed team bronze with Abhishek Verma at the Shanghai Stage 2. In Antalya, she finished just three points behind South Korea's Han Seungyeon (603). With her top-four finish, Madhura has also earned a bye in the second round of the individual compound event. Among other Indian women in the fray, Chikitha Taniparthi was the next best at 11th, while multiple World Cup gold medallist Jyothi Surekha Vennam had a modest outing, ending 19th in the rankings.

Simranjeet Kaur ended 54th, as the women's team ended at 12th.

On her return to the Indian team after three years, the 24-year-old delivered a stellar performance with a careerbest 708 points in the qualification round, thereafter reaching the semifinals. Facing Turkiye's world No.13 Hazal Burun in the semifinal, Madhura started strongly and took an early four-point lead (60-56) with back-to-back perfect scores of 30.

Happy to start the year on a positive note and can say this is the big turning point of my career.'

Despite losing his semifinal contest to World No. 1 and eventual champion Mike Schloesser of Netherlands 143-149, Yadav remained positive during his bronze medal match. On Sunday, India will be in the hunt for two more medals. Recurve archers Parth Salunkhe and Deepika Kumari will fight it out in the semis.
