India had a mixed performance at the Archery World Cup Stage 2 held in Shanghai. The women's recurve team, consisting of Deepika Kumari, Ankita Bhakat, and Kumkum Mohod, secured a 5-1 victory over South Korea, the ten-time Olympic champions, in the semifinals. This win guarantees India its first medal at the event and sets up a gold medal match against China on Sunday. The Indian women displayed remarkable composure, winning three consecutive matches, including a tense quarterfinal against Vietnam. In stark contrast, the men's team faced a disappointing exit, losing 2-6 to Bangladesh without winning a single set. The men's team struggled throughout the match, with their highest score being 54 points. Additionally, the mixed team of Bommadevara and Bhakat lost to Brazil in a close shoot-off. The women's victory is particularly notable as it came against a less experienced South Korean team preparing for the upcoming Asian Games.
