Archer kumkum

Senior National Archery Championships:  The 17-year-old recurve archer Kumkum Anil Mohod, who bagged a historic golden double on her debut at the Asian Games in Japan, said fellow archer Dhiraj Bommadevara is her idol and also revealed a precious piece of advice from his senior that fuelled her incredible campaign of three medals.

Kumkum Anil Mohod became the first Indian to win a recurve women’s individual gold medal and, in the process, secured a quota place for the LA28 Olympic Games. Her feat in the individual event came a day after she had joined Ankita Bhakat and Kirti to win India's first-ever recurve women’s team gold at the continental event, breaking Korea’s historic winning streak of seven consecutive team titles at the Asian Games.
