In the women's individual event, Li was defeated by Kang 6-2 in the semifinals but rebounded to beat Germany's Michelle Kroppen by the same score to take the bronze.

Archery World Cup: India takes silver in compound team event after letting lead slip
India opened its account at the Archery World Cup Stage 4 with a silver in the women's compound team event on Saturday, but the result again spotlighted its struggles in crunch moments. The top-seeded trio of Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Parneet Kaur, and 16-year-old debutant Prithika Pradeep, who led the qualification round with 2116 points, seemed poised for gold after taking a slender 170-169 lead into the final end. But a nervy finish saw them slip to a 225-227 defeat against Chinese Taipei, which held its nerve to close with a near-flawless 58. India, in contrast, managed just 55, undone by a costly 7 and signs of pressure that have become all too familiar. The two teams were tied 57-all after the first end, before India edged ahead 58-56 in the second and led 115-113. A dropped 8 in the third end narrowed the gap to 170-169, but it still had the edge going into the final end — only to falter at the line. The loss once again highlighted the team's mental fragility in tight finishes and underscored the absence of a seasoned guiding hand since compound coach Sergio Pagni's departure post the 2022 Asian Games — a void still unfilled. India's medal hunt in the compound section isn't over. Jyothi will look to add to her tally in the mixed team bronze match alongside Rishabh Yadav and is also in the running for an individual medal, with both she and Parneet Kaur in the semifinals later in the day.

Archery WC: Jyothi, Parneet enter compound women SF; Rishabh, Aman bow out in second round
India's Jyothi Surekha Vennom and Parneet Kaur booked their spots in the compound women's semifinal at the fourth stage of the Archery World Cup of the season. Jyothi, who topped the qualification round, defeated the Turkish archer Hazal Burun 147-144 in the quarterfinal to set up a final-four meet with Korea's Han Seungyeon. Meanwhile, Parneet made it to her maiden World Cup semifinal after beating Oznur Cure Girdi of Turkey by 142-141. Parneet, a 2023 Asian Champion, had never medalled individually outside the continent and missed out on selection for the first three stages of this year's World Cup circuit – in Florida, Shanghai and Antalya. She was just two points off her personal best of 704 with 702 points in the 72-arrow qualification round on Tuesday and now stands two matches away from her first World Cup podium. 'For me, to make some three steps that I want to focus on during my shot. And when I'm not shooting and sitting behind (the line), she told me to do a bit of calligraphy or draw something. That's improved my focus pretty well," Parneet told World Archery. Kaur faces reigning European Champion Gibson in the semifinal, with a potential final (or bronze final) against either Asian Games Champion and teammate Jyothi or Antalya runner-up Han Seungyeon. In the men's individual event, top-seeded Rishabh Yadav, Aman Saini, Priyansh all bowed out in the second round, while Prathamesh Bhalchandra Fuge crashed out in the opening round. In recurve archery, men's and women's teams had a disappointing exit in their opening round. The women's trio of Ankita Bhakat, Deepika Kumari and 15-year-old debutant Gatha Khadake, who opened their campaign from the second round due to their fourth seeding, lost 3-5 to France. The men's trio of Dhiraj Bommadevara, Rahul Singh and Neeraj Chauhan suffered 2-6 loss to Brazil.
