Archery WC Stage: India will field a strong 16-member squad led by experienced archers Jyothi Surekha Vennam and Deepika Kumari at the Archery World Cup 2026 Stage 2. This event begins in Shanghai on Tuesday.

The second leg of the four-stage World Cup circuit will feature over 300 archers from 44 countries, all competing for vital qualification spots for the season-ending World Cup Final in Saltillo later this year.

India heads into the Shanghai leg trying to improve on a modest start to the season, having secured just one medal at Stage 1 in Puebla, where the women’s compound trio of Jyothi, Madhura Dhamangaonkar, and Pragati won gold.
