Amravati's Madhura aims for redemption at World University Games
Amravati: After returning empty-handed from World Cup Archery Stage 3 in Antalya, Turkey, and then failing to qualify for World Cup Archery Stage 4 in Spain, as well as for the World Archery Championship in Korea, ace Amravati archer Madhura Dhamgaonkar is looking for a chance to redeem herself at the World University Games in Essen, Germany, where archery action is slated to begin on Tuesday. Madhura, who struck a purple patch during the Shanghai World Cup Stage 2 by winning an individual gold, a team silver, and a mixed bronze, came up short, like all other Indian archers, at Antalya, where neither the compound nor the recurve archers could win a single medal for the country. Upon returning home, Madhura faced selection trials for World Cup Stage 4 and the World Archery Championship in Pune, but she, like Ojas Deotale, struck a bad patch and faded out. At the World University Games, Madhura gets a chance to re-establish herself as she leads the Indian female contingent, which includes Aditi Jaiswal, Basanti Mahato, Bhajan Kaur, Avaneet Kaur, and Parneet Kaur. The Indian male archery contingent consists of Mrinal Chauhan, Vishnu Chaudhary, Kushal Dalal, Aryan Rana, Sahil Rajesh Jadhav, and Hritik Sharma. The spotlight will, however, be on Madhura and Spain World Cup Stage 4 team silver medallist Parneet Kaur. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo Amravati: After returning empty-handed from World Cup Archery Stage 3 in Antalya, Turkey, and then failing to qualify for World Cup Archery Stage 4 in Spain, as well as for the World Archery Championship in Korea, ace Amravati archer Madhura Dhamgaonkar is looking for a chance to redeem herself at the World University Games in Essen, Germany, where archery action is slated to begin on Tuesday.

Amravati's Madhura Helps India Reach Quarterfinals of Archery World Cup Stage 3 In Antalya
Nagpur: For the second successive time in the Archery World Cup, Madhura Dhamangaonkar, a small-town girl from Amravati, will lead India's campaign. Exactly 25 days after she spearheaded India's medal success with three podium finishes in Shanghai, Madhura continued her impressive run in the Archery World Cup Stage 3, which began in Antalya, Turkey, on Wednesday. At the second stage of the World Cup in Shanghai last month, Madhura helped India's compound archers achieve their highest medal count when she secured individual women's gold, women's team silver, and mixed team bronze medals. Continuing from where she left off in Shanghai, the 24-year-old Madhura finished fourth in the compound qualification round at Antalya to guide the Indian women's team to the quarterfinals. Thanks to Madhura's heroics, the Indian team secured the third seeding and a direct entry to the quarterfinals, where they will face the winner of Kazakhstan and Great Britain. If India crosses the quarterfinal hurdle, they will face the challenge of second-seeded and experienced Korea in the semifinals. In the qualification round, Madhura gave an impressive score of 600 to finish fourth, just three points behind South Korean legend Han Seungyeon (603).
