Indian archery star Sheetal Devi enjoyed a historic outing at the Asian Para Games on Monday, matching the world record in the women's compound qualification round before partnering with Toman Kumar to establish a new world mark in the mixed team event.
The armless archer, who utilises her feet and legs to position the compound bow while employing her shoulder and jaw to pull and release the string, recorded a remarkable 704 points out of 720 during the ranking round. This performance equalled the world record and set a new Asian record. Sheetal then combined with Toman, who scored 698 in men's qualification, to reach a combined score of 1,402 points, breaking the former world record of 1,400 in the compound mixed team ranking round.
