Armless archer Sheetal Devi reigned supreme in the women’s compound individual and mixed team events to claim gold in both the competitions, while Swati Chaudhary scripted history by winning India’s first ever W1 medal with her silver at the Asian Para Games here on Thursday.
Returning to the range less than a couple of hours after winning the mixed team title with Toman Kumar, the 19-year-old Sheetal, who is the reigning world champion, overcame a four-point deficit to defeat Singapore’s Alim Nur Syahidah 142-139 in a repeat of the Hangzhou 2023 final.
