Indian Compound Archers Fail to Reach Medal Rounds at World Cup
Indian compound archers didn't do as well at the Archery World Cup as they did before.
After a strong showing in Shanghai, they didn't make it to the medal rounds in the individual competitions.
Madhura Dhamangaonkar, who won before, lost to a Mexican archer.
Aditi Swami, the world champion, also lost.
In the men's competition, Rishabh Yadav and Ojas Deotale were also knocked out.
The archers struggled with a new scoring system where the bullseye is worth 11 points instead of 10.
India was also eliminated from the team events, but they still have a chance to do well in the mixed team and recurve individual events.
Indian compound archers were eliminated from individual medal rounds at the Archery World Cup Stage 3.
Madhura Dhamangaonkar, the previous World Cup winner, was defeated by Mariana Bernal of Mexico.
World champion Aditi Swami was also knocked out in the quarter-finals by Andrea Becerra of Mexico.
Rishabh Yadav lost to Nicolas Girard of France in the men's individual quarter-finals.
Ojas Deotale, the world champion, was eliminated in the first round.
