Shanghai: At the Archery World Championship, Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Parneet Kaur, and Aditi Swami won their third straight gold medal for India, defeating Turkey 232-226 in the lopsided compound women's team final. The incredibly successful trio entered the event having won gold in France and Italy, so this completes a hat-trick for them.
The Indian contingent began the contest dominantly as they took a one-point lead in the first round and followed it with an exemplary second round which saw them hit five perfect 10s with two X, and one 9 extending their advantage to four points by the halfway point.
Despite Turkey’s attempt to regain footing in the contest a resilient Indian contingent maintained their four-point lead heading into the fourth round and went on to secure the contest by scoring 58 in the final round to claim gold.
