At the Archery World Cup Stage 1 in Puebla, Mexico, the Indian women's compound archery trio of Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Madhura Dhamangaonkar, and Pragati secured a gold medal by narrowly defeating the USA with a score of 233-232. This victory marks India's first medal in the season-opening event, providing a much-needed boost after a disappointing showing from the recurve and men's compound teams. The women's team faced a challenging match, initially trailing after the second and third ends but rallied to produce six perfect arrows in the final end, sealing their victory. In contrast, the recurve participants, including notable archers like Deepika Kumari and Atanu Das, struggled significantly, with none advancing to the medal rounds. The men's recurve team was eliminated in the opening round, while the women's team exited in the quarterfinals against Turkey. The Indian archers will look to build on this success as Ojas Deotale and Pragati prepare to compete for the mixed team bronze later in the day.
