Amravati's Madhura aims for redemption at World University Games
Amravati: After returning empty-handed from World Cup Archery Stage 3 in Antalya, Turkey, and then failing to qualify for World Cup Archery Stage 4 in Spain, as well as for the World Archery Championship in Korea, ace Amravati archer Madhura Dhamgaonkar is looking for a chance to redeem herself at the World University Games in Essen, Germany, where archery action is slated to begin on Tuesday. Madhura, who struck a purple patch during the Shanghai World Cup Stage 2 by winning an individual gold, a team silver, and a mixed bronze, came up short, like all other Indian archers, at Antalya, where neither the compound nor the recurve archers could win a single medal for the country. Upon returning home, Madhura faced selection trials for World Cup Stage 4 and the World Archery Championship in Pune, but she, like Ojas Deotale, struck a bad patch and faded out. At the World University Games, Madhura gets a chance to re-establish herself as she leads the Indian female contingent, which includes Aditi Jaiswal, Basanti Mahato, Bhajan Kaur, Avaneet Kaur, and Parneet Kaur. The Indian male archery contingent consists of Mrinal Chauhan, Vishnu Chaudhary, Kushal Dalal, Aryan Rana, Sahil Rajesh Jadhav, and Hritik Sharma. The spotlight will, however, be on Madhura and Spain World Cup Stage 4 team silver medallist Parneet Kaur. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo Amravati: After returning empty-handed from World Cup Archery Stage 3 in Antalya, Turkey, and then failing to qualify for World Cup Archery Stage 4 in Spain, as well as for the World Archery Championship in Korea, ace Amravati archer Madhura Dhamgaonkar is looking for a chance to redeem herself at the World University Games in Essen, Germany, where archery action is slated to begin on Tuesday.

Jyothi Surekha Vennam shines in Madrid as India collect silver and bronze at Archery World Cup Stage 4
The trio of Jyothi, Parneet Kaur and 16-year-old debutant Prithika Pradeep won silver in the women's compound team event. Jyothi would then go on to win mixed-team bronze with Rishabh Yadav. read more Jyothi Surekha Vennam has been the standout performer among the Indians at Archery World Cup Stage 4 in Madrid. PTI Jyothi Surekha Vennam stayed on course for a hat-trick of medals as India secured two podium finishes at the Archery World Cup Stage 4 in Madrid on Saturday with the women's compound team settling for silver and the mixed team clinching bronze. Notwithstanding the medal-winning show, the performance exposed Indian archers' struggles under pressure in crunch situations. The trio of Jyothi, 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. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, they faltered under pressure at the decisive moment, eventually going down 225-227 to Chinese Taipei. Later, in the mixed team event, the top-seeded Indian pair of Jyothi and Rishabh Yadav, who had shattered the qualifying world record with a total of 1431 points on the opening day, outwitted 10th-seeded El Salvador duo of Paola Corado and Douglas Vladimir Nolasco 156-153 to claim bronze. The Indian pair had fallen short of expectations in the semifinals on Friday, losing to 12th-seeded Netherlands 152-155. In the women's compound team event, 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 (55-56) 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. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In the bronze playoff, the scores were tied 39-39 after the first end, but Jyothi and Rishabh pulled ahead by two points after the second and maintained their lead till the end to seal victory. India remain in contention for more medals in the compound section with Jyothi and Parneet Kaur slated to compete in their respective individual semifinals later in the day.

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.
