Khelo India Tribal Games: Back in 2021, when Komalika Bari emulated her state-mate Dipika Kumari in becoming only the second Indian women recurve archer to clinch the World Cadet and World Junior titles, a lot was expected from the Jamshedpur-born archer.

But the transition to the senior circuit after a stupendous showing in the junior circuit hasn’t been that smooth for Komalika, who has been knocking on the doors of the Indian national team for major events like the Asian Games and the 2028 Olympics.

With the race for spots in the Indian team for the 2026 Asian Games reaching its final leg, Komalika has not only been working extensively on her technique but also her mental preparations and handling pressure at a camp in Pune.
