Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose: Indian archer Chikitha Taniparthi won an intense round of 16 clash against Chinese Taipei's Chen Yi-Hsuan in the women's compound individual event at the Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square here on Monday.

While Taniparthi managed to scrape through, Hangzhou 2023 gold medallist Jyothi Surekha Vennam lost in her 1/8 elimination round after going down to South Korea's Kang Yeonseo 146-150.

Taniparthi and Chen gave it their all, and they were tied at 148 points after the regulation 15 shots. The match went to the shoot-off, where the Indian nailed a bull's-eye, while Chen also fired a 10, but it wasn't a bull's-eye.
