India started off Day 14 of the Asian Games in fine fashion as they secured two medals in archery with Jyothi Vennam winning the gold medal in women's compound and Aditi Swami claiming bronze in the same event on Saturday, October 7.

This was Jyothi's third gold medal of Asian Games 2023, having been on the top step of the podium in the women's compound and mixed compound team events earlier.

Jyothi delivered a near perfect performance against Korea's Chaewon So after having initially hit a nine in her first attempt. It was eight at first, but the Indian archer was given a point after consideration. After conceding End 1 to the Korean archer, Jyothi showed no signs of pressure as all her remaining attempts were perfect tens.
