Indian Compound Archers Strike Gold Twice At World Cup Stage 4

Indian archers claimed a double in the compound events, winning both men's and women's team gold medals in the World Cup Stage 4 in Paris on Saturday. The fourth-seeded Indian men's compound team of Abhishek Verma, Ojas Deotale and Prathamesh Jawkar downed second-seeded American trio of Kris Schaff James Lutz and Sawyer Sullivan 236-232. Fresh from becoming world champions earlier this month in Berlin, compound women's team of Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Aditi Swami and Parneet Kaur survived a scare before prevailing over Mexico by one point.

India now have two gold and two bronze from the last World Cup of the season, while Jyothi remains in the hunt for a second medal in the individual section, slated later in the day.

Indian men's compound team were trailing by one point after the first end as the American had perfect round of 60. But the Indians kept their consistency with yet another 59 to see them level 118-118 as the Americans dropped two points.
