World Cup Stage 1 | Indian archers lose in quarters against Ukraine

The Indians began with a strong shot of 58/60, but dropped to 53/60 in the second set, hitting three times in the red ring (8-8-8) to fall 1-3 behind. Their 55/60 in the final set was insufficient, as the Ukrainian three of Artem Ovchynnikov, Usach Mykhailo, and Oleksii Hunbin won with a 58/60.

Priya Gurjar and Rajat Chauhan were the top finishers in the compound division, both finishing in the quarterfinals. Priya was defeated 136-143 by Chen Yi-Hsuan of Chinese Taipei, while Chauhan was defeated 146-149 by Jean Philippe Boulch of Luxembourg. Former Asian Games gold medalist Abhishek Verma was eliminated in the second round after a 146-all tie in a shoot-off (9-10) against Frenchman Quentin Baraer.

Tarundeep Rai, a veteran Army man, was the sole Tokyo Olympian to make the cut, and he was joined by another old warhorse, Jayanta Talukdar, who made his international debut after a six-year absence. The recurve women's squad, on the other hand, is largely made up of teenagers. Jyothi Surekha Vennam, a four-time World Championships silver medalist, is also missing from the compound team.
