World Archery C'ships: Indian Recurve Archers Falter Again, Women’s Team Lose Bronze
Desperate to end a decade-long medal drought in the recurve section, the women’s trio of Deepika Kumari, Gatha Khadake and Ankita Bhakat went down 3-5 against the formidable hosts. It was a missed opportunity for India, as the Koreans looked far from their dominant best with erratic shooting and no perfect set to their name.
After losing the opening set 51-54, India roared back with four 10s in the second to tie 57-57, unsettling a Korean unit that has won Olympic gold ten times in a row. Riding on that momentum, they clinched the third set 57-54 to draw level at 3-3, raising hopes of a breakthrough medal. But when the contest came down to the decider, the Koreans—led by Olympic champions An San and Lim Si-hyeon—held their nerve to take the fourth set 56-54 and the match 5-3.
