India finished their Archery World Cup 2025 campaign with a total of 14 medals, comprising three golds, across the four stages. Asian Games champion Vennam settled for a silver medal after putting up a valiant fight in the women's compound individual event. In a contest that went right down to the wire, Vennam fell short against Great Britain's Ella Gibson, as the final concluded with a 148-147 scoreline. Vennam trailed by two points as the final headed into the final round. She upped the ante and struck a perfect 30, but it remained insufficient.

But Chinese Taipei amped the pressure and reduced the deficit to one after the third round, before completely turning the tables in the final. Vennam continued to be at the forefront of India's medals. Along with Rishabh Yadav, she bagged a bronze medal in the mixed team compound event after orchestrating a victory over El Salvador's Paola Corado and Douglas Vladimir Nolasco 156-153. The Indian duo lost to the Netherlands, the eventual gold medallists, in the semi-finals and fought for the bronze medal against El Salvador. The Indian men's team's campaign concluded in the quarter-finals, with Rishabh, Aman Saini, and Priyansh failing to earn a spot beyond the second round in the individual competition. India's entire recurve contingent disappointed, returning empty-handed in the tournament. Dhiraj Bommadevara and Ankita Bhakat's campaign concluded in the opening round. Deepika Kumari and Tarundeep Rai, both four-time Olympians, followed the same path and crashed out in the opening round of the individual women's and men's events, respectively.

Deepika, Parth win bronze as India finish with seven medals in Shanghai Archery World Cup
Shanghai, May 11 (UNI) Olympian Deepika Kumari and emerging archer Parth Salunkhe secured bronze medals in the individual recurve events as India concluded their campaign with seven medals at the Archery World Cup 2025 here. Deepika, seeded 12th, defeated South Korea's Olympic gold medallist Kang Chae-young 7-3 in the women's individual recurve bronze medal match on Sunday. The victory marked Deepika's 37th World Cup medal, reinforcing her status as one of India's most accomplished archers. The 29-year-old had earlier overcome Paris 2024 silver medallist Li Jiaman of China 6-2 in quarterfinals before losing 7-1 to reigning Olympic champion Lim Sihyeon of South Korea in the semis. In the men's recurve category, 60th seed Parth Salunkhe produced a series of stunning performances to clinch his bronze medal. He overcame French archer Baptiste Addis, a Paris 2024 team silver medallist, 6-4 in the third-place match. Salunkhe had earlier shocked Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion Mete Gazoz in a shootoff and outclassed South Korea's Kim Je Deok — a triple Olympic gold medallist — 6-2 in the quarterfinals. His run ended in the semi-finals with a narrow 6-4 loss to South Korean Olympic champion Kim Woojin. India's recurve teams, including the mixed pair of Deepika and Dhiraj Bommadevara, the men's trio of Tarundeep Rai, Atanu Das and Dhiraj, and the women's team of Deepika, Ankita Bhakat and Anshika Kumari, missed out on podium finishes. The compound archers, however, delivered a strong showing with five medals. Madhura Dhamangaonkar won gold in women's individual compound, while the men's team of Ojas Deotale, Abhishek Verma and Rishabh Yadav secured gold in the team event. The women's team took silver, and there were bronze medals for the mixed pair (Abhishek-Madhura) and Rishabh in the individual men's compound. The third stage of the Archery World Cup will be held in Antalya, Turkiye, from June 3 to 8, followed by the Madrid leg in July and the World Cup Final in Nanjing, China, in October. UNI BDN RN
